Hi, Some feedback for the strawberry-perl project.
Platform: WinXP SP2, totally up to date. Install went okay except for environment paths were not set so dmake didn't work in cpan right away. To fix dmake, I copied it into c:\OSdir\system32 along with the folder. Maybe you want to do that with the installer? I can understand why that may not be good, but FYI. Set paths in system>System properties>advanced>Environment Variables by adding "C:\strawberry-perl\dmake\bin\;C:\strawberry-perl\perl\bin;C:\strawberry-perl\mingw\bin" After a reboot, there are problems. Somehow I got XML::Parser and IO::Tty involved and both fail installation. IO::Tty fails with this on the CLI Now let's see what we can find out about your system (logfiles of failing tests are available in the conf/ dir)... Looking for _getpty()...... not found. Looking for getpt()........ not found. Looking for grantpt()...... not found. Looking for openpty()...... not found. Looking for ptsname()...... not found. Looking for ptsname_r().... not found. Looking for sigaction().... not found. Looking for strlcpy()...... not found. Looking for ttyname()...... not found. Looking for unlockpt()..... not found. Looking for libutil.h...... not found. Looking for pty.h.......... not found. Looking for sys/pty.h...... not found. Looking for sys/ptyio.h.... not found. Looking for sys/stropts.h.. not found. Looking for termio.h....... not found. Looking for termios.h...... not found. Looking for util.h......... not found. My quick and dirty attempts to find the mingw headers was unsuccessful. Does IO:Tty needs different build instructions for mingw/win32? Keep up the great work. Let me know if you need more info. MP __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
