Log::Log4perl does *not* depend on IO::Tty and works fine on Windows. If you see a problem, please narrow it down to a couple of lines of reproducable code and post them. -- Mike Mike Schilli [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > You can reproduce the bug by starting cpan and > entering upgrade.

There's http://win32.perl.org/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page or you could post to perlmonks where you'd be liklely to attract the attention of people more actively involved with the Strawberry project (so long as "Strawberry" appears in the subject line). To build XML::Parser (which was mentioned in your first post), you first need an expat library -which is not all that difficult to obtain. See http://win32.perl.org/wiki/index.php?title=Expat_Hacking It's probably also worth having a ppm utility on your Strawberry Perl so that you can make use of all those ppm packages that already exist in the usual ppm repositories. (Although those packages have generally been built using the Visual Studio compiler, they will work fine with Strawberry Perl.) You can install PPM-2.1.7 from cpan but you first need to apply patches written by Randy Kobes and available at http://rt.cpan.org//Ticket/Display.html?id=21871 . (I think XML::Parser is a pre-requisite for PPM.) Both of the above links are obtained from http://win32.perl.org/wiki/index.php?title=Vanilla_Perl_Problem_Modules . I don't know much about Log::Log4Perl, but there's a ppm package of version 1.06 available from the uwinnipeg rep. (See http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/ .) I can't see any mention of LogLog4Perl having an IO::Tty dependency. It's certainly not mentioned in the Makefile.PL ( http://search.cpan.org/src/MSCHILLI/Log-Log4perl-1.07/Makefile.PL ) which is the one place it *ought* to be specified if such a dependency exists. Perhaps the IO::Tty dependency is creeping in from some other module ? I wouldn't expect IO::Tty to build on Win32 (including Strawberry Perl), and I can't find a ppm package for it anywhere. I don't regard Strawberry's inability to build IO::Tty as a bug. I'm not sure that *any* of your problems are actually a bug - and it's probably best to avoid using that term until it has been determined that the problem you face actually *is* a bug. Some (overly sensitive) people get annoyed if the "bug" accusation is not really a bug :-) Also, it would probably help with the diagnosis if you provide a copy'n'paste of the errors you got.

Strawberry Perl Bugs Report
After some more testing, errors appear related to Log::Log4Perl This is the package that seems to trigger the dependency to IO::Tty. You can reproduce the bug by starting cpan and entering upgrade. Admittedly, this is not a great idea right now, but it produces the issue on XPSP2. Any ideas on how to address this one? __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Strawberry Perl Bugs Report
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!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
