Using a clean git clone I went back and tried perl Configure.pl --gen-parrot which failed in a new way:

Does anyone have parrot/perl6 building on cygwin/vista? -----Original Message----- From: neil.mowb...@calgacus.com [mailto:neil.mowb...@calgacus.com] Sent: 10 February 2010 21:05 To: 'Moritz Lenz' Cc: perl6-compi...@perl.org Subject: RE: New user trying to compiler perl6 without success Yes I tried the --gen-parrot and it had a similar problem. For the below, I did a clean svn checkout of parrot and git clone. For parrot I did $ perl Configure.pl $ make $ make fulltest $ make install $ make install-dev However that didn't copy cygparrot.dll to /usr/local/bin and the parrot.dll.a to /usr/local/lib so I copied those manually. So clearly make install-dev isnt' quite working. What else could be missing - there is quite a lot of stuff already copied from the build directory to /usr/local. For perl6 I did $ perl Configure.pl $ make ... bag! -----Original Message----- From: Moritz Lenz [mailto:mor...@faui2k3.org] Sent: 10 February 2010 20:27 To: neil.mowb...@calgacus.com Cc: perl6-compi...@perl.org Subject: Re: New user trying to compiler perl6 without success Hi, neil.mowb...@calgacus.com wrote: > Hi Folks, > > This is the first time I have tried to compile parrot and perl6. > I have tried various combinations of perl6 and parrot snapshots > but all perl6 builds fail (at different places).

Did you do a full 'make install' of parrot? (Can be a local install, but it must be installed). A 'make install-bin' won't be enough. Cheers, Moritz
