Re: Inline::Python for windows 10 (update)

Hello tobbes and welcome to the monastery and to the wonderful world of Perl!

> which from what I have heard does not work on windows

is not knoweledge, are rumors.. ;=) but if you want to know how a module, generally speaking, runs out of the box on a OS take a look at cpan testers matrix: matrix for Inline-Python+0.56.

The whole column for windows family is not promising: I tried skipping tests as suggested but I had no success anyway.

# set INLINE_PYTHON_EXECUTABLE=c:\path\to\python.exe

....

dmake.exe:  Error code 129, while making 'blib\arch\auto\Inline\Python
+\Python.dll'
  NINE/Inline-Python-0.56.tar.gz
  C:\path\strawberry\c\bin\dmake.exe -- NOT OK
Skipping test because of notest pragma
Running make install
  Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
Failed during this command:
 JWB/Proc-ProcessTable-0.55.tar.gz            : make NO
 NINE/Inline-Python-0.56.tar.gz               : make NO
[download]

Obviously you already have python installed, rigth (and in PATH..)?

My best wishes and share your results!

update I installed active python on another machine: I set the ENV var correctly, I issued force notest install Inline::Python and still fails on the module:

 JWB/Proc-ProcessTable-0.55.tar.gz            : make NO
[download]

There are no rules, there are no thumbs..

JWB/Proc-ProcessTable-0.55.tar.gz : make NO Hmmm ... given that you had specified "notest" and that Proc-ProcessTable is required only for testing, it seems rather ridiculous that the build process should throw up that obstacle. I would recommend switching to a procedure that bypasses that insanity. Cheers, Rob	[reply]

Maybe try with `cpanm --look` to manually run the make steps, skipping the tests directly. `cpanm --look Inline::Python perl Makefile.PL gmake gmake install` [download] Substitute dmake for gmake as needed. I just tried it, but don't have a python handy that satisfies Inline::Python (it's provided as part of a commercial package) so could not get it to a successful make stage without more work or installing another python on my system.
