in reply to Re^19: trying to build PAR-Packer-1.002
in thread trying to build PAR-Packer-1.002

The first hang is a timing issue - parldyn.exe is being looked for before it has actually been installed in its destination directory. By the time you get to re-run 'dmake test' it's where it needs to be and everything should be sweet.

The output that you posted looks fine execept that some of the tests are failing. File::Temp can't be found because @INC consists only of the current working directory - not sure if that indicates a PAR-Packer problem or a problem with the perl installation. (It's a pity that you re-installed Perl, as it was definitely fine before.) And PAR/Filter/PodStrip.pm can't be found because it's not yet in any of the directories listed in @INC. Again, @INC looks odd - it should contain blib.

In order to determine whether your perl installation is ok, could you build Math::FFT and see if that works ok ? If it does, then I'll have to start scratching my head as to what's suddenly started fucking up @INC in the PAR-Packer test suite. (You could try running 'dmake install' followed by 'dmake test'. That should make PAR/Filter/PodStrip.pm visible to the test suite ... but not File::Temp.) If Math::FFT does fail to build, then there's something wrong with your perl installation, and perl should be re-installed. (But show me the errors before you re-install perl.)

Cheers,
Rob

    Hi Rob

    I built Math::FFT and got the following output

    Thank you ver much for all of your assistance, I have now managed to use pp to bundle a perl script into a self extracting/executing .exe :)

      Hi Rob,

      Thank you very much for your continued help with all the problems I had ran into.

      Now that I have a working PAR-Packer, I thought I'd list all the things that I had ran into.

      Who is best placed to look at the root cause of each problem I ran into below?

      o Having to build par.exe and static.exe manually

      o Failure of t/20-pp.t test 31

      o parldyn.exe timing issue, causing hang

      o @INC only consisting of the current working directory

      Thanks again.

      Richard.

        It's just a matter of sending your report as an email to bug-PAR [at] rt.cpan.org

        I'm not sure that the problem building par.exe and static.exe are PAR-Packer bugs - but it's certainly worth mentioning. And I'm not too sure about the problem with @INC, either. It's odd that it only showed up towards the end. But definitely report it, too - and give a copy'n'paste of the 2 error messages (the one relating to File::Temp and the one relating to PAR::Filter::PodStrip).

        I think the other 2 points are PAR-Packer bugs ... but there's no guarantee I'm right about any of that :-)

        Cheers,
        Rob
