Re: Problems installing Archive::Tar::Streamed on Win32

in reply to Problems installing Archive::Tar::Streamed on Win32

As the author of Archive::Tar::Streamed, I really appreciate the feedback. I need to make the Makefile.PL more platform sensitive, and work properly on Windows.

Please can you raise a bug ticket on http://rt.cpan.org so that I can track it.

Not really. DV's problem is that his perl install is severely broken. He does not have nmake, tar, or Archive::Tar installed, on top of which his Config seems to be misconfigured ... he would have trouble installing any module, not just yours	[reply]

...but Archive::Tar looks good Yes, but Archive::Tar should have come as part of ActivePerl - ie, you didn't have to install it. If it's just a matter of installing Archive::Tar::Streamed, then you could simply copy Streamed.pm into the C:/activeperl5.6/site/lib/Archive/Tar folder. You may need to create that folder. (Note that this should work only because Archive::Tar::Streamed is a pure perl module.) As Anonymous Monk pointed out, your perl installation is screwed. Given that perl is in C:/activeperl5.6, it makes no sense for MakeMaker to go looking for M:/ACTIVE~1.6/lib/CORE/perl.h . Note for rinceWind: I thought that there would be a ppm at ActiveState for this module - but it fails to build under their automated build procedure. I think it would build fine for them if the default in the Makfile.PL was "none" instead of "tar" - it certainly builds fine for me on Win32 both with and without "tar". Cheers, Rob	[reply]
