I am trying to use Par 0.973 on Windows XP Pro with Active State Perl build 820.
- I've downloaded PAR 0.973 and PAR::Packer 0.973 from CPAN
- Patched script/par.pl to include "eval { require Win32 };" as mentioned in a
recent thread
- Ran nmake Test, all tests passed
- Ran nmake install
I noted this warning:
Output file '..\blib\lib\PAR\StrippedPARL\Dynamic.pm' does not have an empty
__DATA__ section. Not appending encoded data from '.\par.exe'. This is NOT a
fatal error! at encode_append.pl line 26.
Then I ran my usual Par build script (which used to work with Par 0.971), that
includes this command line (a *lot* of modules have been removed):
pp --lib ../../../../../external/perl/lib --lib ../../.. -M
ANPerl/AnalysisFramework/ResourceStore/Metadata/DBUserMetadataValues.pm [...] -M
MIME::Types -M String::CRC::Cksum -M PerlIO -o ./clan.exe CLAnalysis.pl
I got this error:
Set up gcc environment - 3.4.4 (cygming special) (gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)
Usage: C:\DOCUME~1\steven\LOCALS~1\Temp\parlzLhs.exe [ -Alib.par ] [ -Idir ] [

C:\Perl\bin/pp: Failed to extract a parl from 'PAR::StrippedPARL::Static' to
file 'parlEE2gFTR.exe' at C:/Perl/site/lib/PAR/Packer.pm line 1149, <DATA> line
1.
Can anyone suggest what the error may refer to?
Have the command line options changed recently?
Steven
