Subject: Trouble installing latest PAR::Packer 1.007 in Windows 7
Hi,
I am not able to install PAR::Packer 1.007 on my Windows 7 machine.
Could someone help me to install PAR::Packer?
[snip]
make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
If it's just a matter of getting it to install, you could always do that by
using "force" (as suggested).
But if it's a matter of getting the failing test to pass, then that's
something else. I tried to put some diagnostic messages into
contrib/automated_pp_test.pl and then re-run 'perl -Mblib t/20-pp.t', but
inc/Test/Builder.pm won't let me do that. (Perhaps someone else here knows
the way to work around that problem. All I get is "# No tests run!")
It would be nice to know which file was not being found in your failing
test - was it 'hi.icon' or 'hello.pl' ?
And then it would it be nice to know the reason that the file is
unlocatable. But if we can't readily modify automated_pp_test.pl, then the
task is not as simple as one would like.
In any case, I suspect it's a bug in the test script that's causing the
failure (which I can't reproduce on Windows Vista, btw). So I would just do
'cpan -fi PAR::Packer'.
Cheers,
Rob
