Re: Embperl fails to compile on Debian 9 (Stretch)

Hi Nigel, thanks! I am able to get the embperl repo at the salsa.debian.org site, and it makes a promising directory with the usual files which looks very familiar. However I'm not familiar with how to apply the debian patches, presumably there is some command or tool that is used to do that? When

Hello! The trunk code is at http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/embperl/trunk . However, it uses a deprecated variable removed in Perl 5.22, so it's probably not going to work for you. I'd suggest grabbing Debian's embperl repo at https://salsa.debian.org/perl-team/modules/packages/libembperl-pe

Just a guess. It might be fixed in version libembperl-perl/2.5.0-5 ? https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=812617 On Tue, Apr 16, 2019 at 4:40 PM Neil Gunton wrote: > Just upgraded my workstation from Debian 8 (Jessie) to 9 (Stretch). > > Embperl was working on Debian Jessie, thou

This is nuts. I know now that a version 2.5.0-10 exists of Embperl, but I can't get it from Debian except as a compiled package, or the src one that is mysteriously "debianized" and unrecognizable to me as something I can just build in the usual fashion. Does anyone know where I can simply download

2019-04-16 Thread Neil Gunton
Yes, I was just looking at that. But the trouble is it wants to bring in a bunch of other packages that I don't want or need, e.g. apache (I build my own apache). So right now I'm trying to figure out how/if I can download the source for the Embperl package from somewhere so I can build it manually

Great, thanks, I had no idea there was a 2.5.0-5 release. I have been using 2.5.0-3 for years. Can anybody tell me where I can get 2.5.0-5? I tried Github, but it seemed to give me an older version and it had the same compile error. Anywhere else this is kept? Jim Tappe wrote: > Just a guess. > >

Embperl fails to compile on Debian 9 (Stretch)

2019-04-16 Thread Neil Gunton
Just upgraded my workstation from Debian 8 (Jessie) to 9 (Stretch). Embperl was working on Debian Jessie, though with some bugs or different behavior which I mentioned in previous email to the list. Now I tried upgrading to Stretch to bring myself up to date with Debian stable finally, and Embperl
