Re^15: trying to build PAR-Packer-1.002

Hi Rob

Thanks for that, I hadn't noticed that last set of errors were against static.exe instead of par.exe

Which means we are making some progress !! :)

So I did the workaround for static.exe "C:\Perl\site\bin\g++.exe static.o -L"C:\Perl\lib\CORE" C:\Perl\lib\CORE\perl510.lib -o static.exe"

Then I did dmake test, which resulted in the below. It is getting a lot further, now that I have built par.exe and static.exe the longhand way.

Here is what version of Makemaker I have

C:\mybuild\PAR-Packer-1.002>perl -MExtUtils::MakeMaker -e "print $ExtU
+tils::Make
Maker::VERSION
Set up gcc environment - 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)
6.55_02
[download]

Do you know what I can try now?

Thank you

Richard

It's only one test that has failed (and it fails for me, too, btw) - looks like there's a problem locating PAR-Packer-1.002\contrib\automated_pp_test\hi.ico. I'd be tempted to just run 'dmake install' and then start using the module and see how it goes. If you don't mess around with icon files you may well find that your PAR-Packer works perfectly well for you. And if the problem that caused that test failure ever does jump up and bite you, then that's probably the time to investigate further. One thing you could try is to open contrib/automated_pp_test.pl and change: `my $cmd = 'pp --gui --icon hi.ico -o ' . "$hello_executable $hello_pl_ +file";` [download] to: `my $cmd = 'pp --gui --icon C:/mybuild/PAR-Packer-1.002/contrib/hi.ico +-o ' . "$hello_executable $hello_pl_file";` [download] Then re-run 'dmake test' and see if the failing test then passes. I'll give that a go myself, when I get a chance. (All we've done is specify the full path to hi.ico.) I should point out (the obvious) that you shouldn't have to engage in those silly hacks that we've used to get to this point - and I'll try to work out why they were necessary. But there aren't too many modules that venture into the areas that PAR-Packer visits, so it's quite likely that you won't ever come across the same problem again. (Please be sure to /msg me if you do.) Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]

So I un-installed PERL and deleted the c:\perl folder and re-did all the dmakes (still needed to manually make par.exe and static.exe What happened on the 3rd dmake is the following: C:\mybuild\PAR-Packer-1.002>dmake test dmake.exe: Warning: -- Found file corresponding to virtual target [mk +tmpdir.h]. dmake.exe: Warning: -- Found file corresponding to virtual target [mk +tmpdir.c]. dmake.exe: Warning: -- Found file corresponding to virtual target [ma +in.c].

Can't locate PAR/Heavy.pm in @INC Oops ... I don't get that error. Have you installed the prerequisite PAR ? Cheers, Rob	[reply]

It just hangs at the above Yes - it does the same for me whenever I do a 'dmake realclean' followed by a rebuild. Just hit Ctrl-C, then run 'dmake test' again and it should work. Failing that, you could start with a fresh unpack of PAR-Packer-1.002 in a different location. This problem, and the failing test, are both things that should be reported as PAR-Packer bugs. (I think the problems building the executables are, however, not PAR-Packer bugs.) Cheers, Rob	[reply]
