Re^2: B::Generate for Win32?

Thanks PodMaster. I tried the .ppd and got the classic

P:\packages>ppm install B-Generate.ppd
Error: no suitable installation target found for package B-Generate.
[download]

which doesn't make sense (to me) given it's contents.

Your right, I had tracked down the line that caused the error, and tried skipping the middleman* to make the compile work, but when I encountered the unresolved external I knew I'd moved beyond my knowledge.

*Though I can't see how it would work if the global cSVOPo_sc isn't kept up to date? It must be doing things that way for a reason.

I thought that there were two possibilities:

It's never been built on Win32 and so the Module::Build process doesn't include everything required to build it (here).
It only builds with some custom (perl.exe) build options and is never going to work against AS builds.

I've completely screwed my custom perl build environment (trying to hack the build process. D'oh. Hands off. Do not touch! Keep out!), and I didn't want to go through re-instating that if nobody's ever bothered/suceeded, in order to try somethng that is probably beyond my reach anyway.

Thanks again.

I tried the .ppd and got the classic `P:\packages>ppm install B-Generate.ppd Error: no suitable installation target found for package B-Generate.` [download] which doesn't make sense (to me) given it's contents. Well it looks like that PPD is for 5.6.x only — that's what `<ARCHITECTURE NAME="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread"/>` tells me. So the complaint is understandable if you're trying to install it for 5.8.x. You'd need `"MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8"` there, instead.	[reply] [d/l]
