Don't scare the poor Windows user - I got Catalyst installed on Windoze pretty fast on the second try (and horribly slow on the first :). Maybe he wants to use some Windows-specific Perl debugger (Optiperl?) I'd recommend Komodo, but anyways,
The procedure to install Catalyst on Windows: 1. Uninstall any existing Perl (mine was not the latest anyways) 2. Install ActiveState Perl 5.8.819 3. Install Dev-C++ to be able to compile 4. Run cat-install 5. Figure out what didn't compile/install, perl -MCPAN -e "install Those::Modules" and run cat-Install again 6. cat-install will eventually fail because of a command-line length limitation in nmake. Go to your CPAN build directory (by default c:\perl\cpan\build) and run "prove -l t/". If that passes, nmake install. 7. perl -MCPAN -e "install 'Catalyst::Plugin::StackTrace'" perl -MCPAN -e "install 'Template::Timer'" perl -MCPAN -e "install 'Catalyst::View::TT'" perl -MCPAN -e "install 'Catalyst::Devel'" I currently have Catalyst running on Windows XP with DBD::Pg and all helpers help fine. PS: why is this on #dbix-class and not on #catalyst? _______________________________________________ List: http://lists.rawmode.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dbix-class Wiki: http://dbix-class.shadowcatsystems.co.uk/ IRC: irc.perl.org#dbix-class SVN: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/bast/trunk/DBIx-Class/ Searchable Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
