Re^2: Perl 5.38 64 bit cpanm fails

I suspect my Perl install is confused somehow. I installed the portable version in a non-standard place of T:\hyd\src\strawberry.5.38 under the understanding that I coud install Perl anywhere these days - I know it used to be c:\strawberry or nothing!

Perl -Vlibpath
[download]

shows

libpth='T:\hyd\src\strawberry.5.38\c\lib T:\hyd\src\strawberry.5.38\c\
+x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib T:\hyd\src\strawberry.5.38\c\lib\gcc\x86_64-w6
+4-
mingw32\13.1.0';
[download]

Everything looks good there. It's worth noting that T: drive is a share of \\k030\hydprime\cnd and the error I get on a build are something like

//k030/HydPrime/cnd/hyd/src/strawberry.5.38/c/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/13.1.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find -lmoldname: No such file or directory

The files are there when I look down the T: tree. However note the forward slashes on the error message - very Unix and not at all Windows-like. I don't really understand why the T: turns into //k030/HydPrime/cnd. I suspect that's the real problem! I'll try installing at c:\strawberry and see if the issues go away!

I installed the portable version in a non-standard place of T:\hyd\src\strawberry.5.38 under the understanding that I could install Perl anywhere these days Yes - that's usually not a problem. I suspect that the main problem is that the "T:drive is a share of \\k030\hydprime\cnd". I've no experience of that hoop, nor of how to jump through it ;-) Cheers, Rob	[reply]
