Add `#include <stdint.h>` to `amqp.h` and possibly `amqp_framing.h`. By the way, Net::AMQP::RabbitMQ claims to be a fork of Net::RabbitMQ that fixes some problems. Of note is that `#include <stdint.h>` is present in its files.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Suppose I do that, and i am installing my modules using cpan, how can I tell cpan not to redownload the module and erase all the changes? Also, I tried installing Net::AMQP::RabbitMQ , it failed as well.	[reply]
Re^3: Net::RabbitMQ failed installation by Corion (Patriarch) on Feb 29, 2016 at 15:18 UTC
CPAN can also install from a file ("tarball"), or you can skip CPAN for that module and do what CPAN does manually: `perl Makefile.PL make make test make install` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Please post the last few lines of the error message (inside `<code></code>` tags) so we can see what "it keeps on failing" means. (Also see How do I post a question effectively?) Thanks! The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply] [d/l]

Thank you for your advice. I updated the post accordingly. I guess its tests are failing? What do you think? Thanks	[reply]
Re^3: Net::RabbitMQ failed installation by 1nickt (Canon) on Feb 19, 2016 at 16:01 UTC
Thanks for posting the error message. It's showing failure to compile the module on your system. I'm afraid I don't speak C or Windows so I can't help with debugging the error. However, the CPAN Testers report for the module shows that it doesn't really seem to work to well on any platform: http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Net--RabbitMQ+0.2.8 And the Issues tracker isn't promising, either, unfortunately: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Net--RabbitMQ Hope this helps! The way forward always starts with a minimal test.	[reply]
