I recently installed WebMake on a client´s Windows box (the client chose the OS, not me) and encountered a few gotchas. For the sake of anyone else who might need to get WebMake running on that platform, here´s what I had to do once WebMake was properly installed:
1. Make the following changes to Main.pm (usually installed to C:\Perl\site\lib\HTML\WebMake\Main.pm): * Lines 320, 346, and 371: Delete ¨~/¨ 2. Make the following changes to SiteCache.pm (usually installed to C:\Perl\site\lib\HTML\WebMake\SiteCache.pm): * Lines 72 through 74, 77 through 80, and 83: Comment out these lines * Line 75: Delete all except ¨goto all_ok;¨ The above is an ugly hack, not a fix. With these changes WebMake treats the working directory as the home directory, and skips an error checking routine. But it got WebMake working quickly in a situation when I didn´t have the time to do it the right way. Perhaps someone will find this to be of use. I used WebMake 2.3 for Windows from the WebMake site, ActivePerl 5.6.1.633 from ActiveState, and Windows 2000 Professional SP3. YMMV. -- Warren Post Santa Rosa de Copán, Honduras http://srcopan.vze.com/ _______________________________________________ WebMake-Talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://webmake.taint.org/mailman/listinfo/webmake-talk
