in reply to Re: cannot gmake Math-Random Random.xs.dll
in thread cannot gmake Math-Random Random.xs.dll

Thanks for the reply. You guys seem pretty serious in here so I thought I would go the extra distance to provide as much info as possible in the hope of finding a solution.

I'm trying to install Math-Random as it's required by the program I'm trying to use; circos to be precise. I'm all for having a go at using Math-Random-ISAAC but I have no idea where I would change this. Or what else would need to be changed (what with me not having written the program that is calling for it).

Any suggestions where to start?

      Another Monk! Sweet.

      The first link is the one I reference in the first post. The solutions there do no apply for whatever reason. The discussed outputs in this post also suggest I am running the correct version of mingW.

      The second link has nothing there for my n00bin' eye balls. I think (based on the first link) that there is no issue with 32bit v 64bit dlls.

      The third link; installed VS community, and added a value to PATH. Rebooted and tried again, no change :(

      Here's my PATH in case that gives anyone an idea. Sorry for not including it originally:

      D:\Program Files\Python\Python27\;D:\Program Files\Python\Python27\Scr
+ipts;c:\Rtools\bin;c:\Rtools\mingw_32\bin;C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\
+javapath;c:\windows\system32;c:\windows;c:\windows\system32\wbem;c:\w
+indows\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA

+erl\site\bin;D:\Strawberry\perl\bin;D:\Strawberry\c\x86_64-w64-mingw3
+2;D:\VisualStudio\Common7\IDE\

      EDIT: forgot to mention that I tried installing another module dependent on XS framework(?); namely Time::Piece. This failes in the same manner as installing Math::Random. The issue (possibly) is linked to the compiler (mingW in this case). I added the mingw PATh variable (2nd from the end) myself as there wasn't one to start off with. It made no difference to the error output anyways.

      EDIT...again: I just noticed that R has a 32-bit version of mingW installed as part of Rtools. Could this be causing a conflict? If so how should it be resolved? It took quite a bit of effort getting Rtools installed. Bloody windows :/

        for sure! If it comes, as it comes, before during the PATH searching you end with the wrong version found before the one wthat comes with strawberry perl, coherent with your cpanm cliente expectations.

        I'm used to launch strawberry perl, portable edition, using it's own laucher portableshell.bat but I suggest to modify this batch to remove everything but windows foundamentals. Perl before everything and, in my case, just some utils to make life easier. SO my suggested PATH is:

        PATH=C:\ulisse\strawberry\perl\bin;C:\ulisse\strawberry\c\bin;C:\uliss
+e\bin\UnxUtils\usr\local\wbin;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\system32;

        You acted wisely putting all information you supposed to be shown. It's a good habit and monks generally expect to have all the info needed to solve wisdom's seekers problems. Even not serious monks need clues, indeed.
