Re: How to install Compress::Stream::Zstd in Strawberry Perl?

It's probably worth looking at Alien::zstd.

Add its bin_dir to your path before building Compress::Stream::Zstd and see how things work. You might also need to add the pkgconf dir to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH env var (although it seems not to use pkg-config).

Edit: Nope. That hits the same issues. Looks like more tweaking is needed, possibly to the C::S::Z build process.

Huh, first post in three years. I tried this with Alien::zstd and it seems to work out and the .a file is deep under site/: `cpan Alien::zstd` [download] I let that run for awhile, because I have an underpowered Surface 8. `C:\strawberry\perl\site\lib\auto\share\dist\Alien-zstd\lib\libzstd.a` [download] I don't know about the path to point to this (please add those steps if you know the proper way), so I did the simple and expedient thing of going into the cpan/build/Compress-Stream-Zlib-0.206-0 directory (the last digits may be different for you). Under ext/zstd/lib is the source for Zstd, but I'm not falling that again. Instead of building all that, I simply copied the previous libzstd.a file into it: `cp C:\strawberry\perl\site\lib\auto\share\dist\Alien-zstd\lib\libzstd. +a .\ext\zstd\lib` [download] Then I ran the Build steps and it seems to work out: `perl ./Build.PL ./Build ./Build test ./Build install` [download] Now the trick is packaging that for a distributed single-file app. -- brian d foy <brian.d.foy@gmail.com>	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I hacked into the `builder\MyBuilder.pm` file to get the same build result but with more effort. That said I get test failures, although these look like problems with the tests given the expected version is hard-coded to 1.5.5. t\01_basic.t ................ # # Compress::Stream::Zstd Version 0.206 # ZSTD_VERSION_NUMBER 10507 # ZSTD_VERSION_STRING 1.5.7 # ZSTD_MAX_CLEVEL 22 # ZSTD_MIN_CLEVEL -131072 # t\01_basic.t ................ 1/? t\01_basic.t ................ 1/? # Failed test at t\01_basic.t line 30. # got: '10507' # expected: '10505' # Failed test at t\01_basic.t line 31. # got: '1.5.7' # expected: '1.5.5' # Looks like you failed 2 tests of 16. t\01_basic.t ................
