in reply to Rakudo on Windows - the poor relation?

The modules should be in C:\Rakudo\lib\parrot\2.6.0\langauges\perl6\lib. If not, please submit a bug report by writing an email to rakudobug@perl.org

The README and the book should be installed into C:\Rakudo\docs\.

    Yes they are! I did not expect to find the Perl modules under the parrot directory tree. Sorry!

    As for the docs, Rakudo\docs (from the .msi) contains the cheetsheet and UsingPerl6-draft.pdf, whereas rakudo-star-2010.07\rakudo\docs (from the tar.gz file) contains a different set of documents, including many pod files. This includes running.pod which you referred to in a previous post.

      It's just there because rakudo re-uses the parrot installation folders. And as a user you shouldn't have to care where the modules are, as long as you can just use them.

      running.pod is meant to be converted into a manual page in the installation step, and result in man/man1/rakudo.1 (and perl6.1) in the parrot tree - I agree that it's not ideal for windows.

      Currently we only have one windows developer, so we appreciate any help with windows packaging.
