in reply to Building Inline::C from github source

Hi, it is documented in the About file. This being Ingyware, it's not exactly standard.

The code for Inline-C is hosted at GitHub. The URL is:
https://github.com/ingydotnet/inline-c-pm
This project uses the Zilla-Dist framework for development and release automation. You install it with:
cpanm -n Zilla::Dist   # -n means "no test" which can save a lot of time
Once installed, run `zild make` to get a list of all the things you can do. See https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/Zilla-Dist/lib/Zilla/Dist.pod for more information.
Note Zilla::Dist, not Dist::Zilla ;-)

Hope this helps!


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

    Thanks 1nickt.

    I tried cpanm -n Zilla::Dist but it bailed out after about 30 minutes because of failing dependencies.
    At least I've now got another 175 modules installed .... none of which I'll ever use.

    It's not a big deal. If it was straightforward enough I would have given the github distro a run.
    It's apparently not, so I won't.

    Cheers,
    Rob
