Thanks, we'll consider that suggestion. The possibility that `dirent.h` would be present on Windows hadn't been taken into account. For what it's worth, official releases of KS have typically been tested under Windows using an MSVC custom-compiled Perl. It used to be that if we could get KS to build and pass tests under MSVC, it would also build and pass tests under Cygwin and Strawberry Perl. Recently, we've been having some difficulties -- but Windows is definitely a target OS, and we look forward to resolving these problems.	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks, we'll consider that suggestion. It might break cygwin, or make it behave differently, thus my comment at the bottom. Windows is definitely a target OS Good to hear. In addition to the OP getting a porting error, my initial assumption that Windows wasn't supported was based on the complete lack of cpan testers reports for the OS. Further checking reveals some for older versions. I guess they haven't gotten around to 0.313 yet.	[reply]

I get the same errors as OP with latest mingw Read more... gcc -v output (993 Bytes) And yes, I have `C:\MinGW\include\dirent.h C:\MinGW\share\libtool\libltdl\lt__dirent.c C:\MinGW\share\libtool\libltdl\libltdl\lt__dirent.h` [download] I also get a bunch of these warnings `warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'alloc +a'` [download] which seems to be related to Richard Henderson - Re: Fix implicit declaration warnings for alloca in target files `On Thu, Sep 16, 2004 at 08:55:50AM -0400, Kaveh R.

The `alloca` issue may be addressed by this patch, which requires a full rebuild (`perl Build realclean; perl Build.PL; perl Build test`): Index: charmonizer/src/Charmonizer/Probe/Memory.c =================================================================== --- charmonizer/src/Charmonizer/Probe/Memory.c (revision 6525) +++ charmonizer/src/Charmonizer/Probe/Memory.c (revision 6526) @@ -72,7 +72,7 @@ } /* Windows. */ - if (!has_alloca \|\| has_builtin_alloca) { + if (!(has_alloca \|\| has_builtin_alloca)) { sprintf(code_buf, alloca_code, "malloc.h", "alloca"); if (CC_test_compile(code_buf, strlen(code_buf))) { has_malloc_h = true; @@ -81,7 +81,7 @@ ConfWriter_append_conf("#define chy_alloca alloca\n"); } } - if (!has_alloca \|\| has_builtin_alloca) { + if (!(has_alloca \|\| has_builtin_alloca)) { sprintf(code_buf, alloca_code, "malloc.h", "_alloca"); if (CC_test_compile(code_buf, strlen(code_buf))) { has_malloc_h = true; [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Creamygoodness....Do you have any solution the issue i've posted? I am really tired and have no idea what's going on. I need KS install on windows XP with Perl 5.8.9 with abysys server on Twiki4.1.0. I am not able to install Text::Iconv even though i have Gnu32 on my machine but don't know why perl Makefile.PL is unable to find out iconv file. Do you think this could be the reason of the KS error?	[reply]

What does OP means? One more thing...I also have cygwin install on my machine. Do you think that is the cause of this error?	[reply]
Re^5: KinoSearch Installation errors by ikegami (Patriarch) on Mar 28, 2011 at 20:54 UTC
"Original Poster", i.e. archimca. (Could also mean "Original Post".) No, although you should be able to get it installed using the cygwin perl if you're ok with that. That means you'll have to run that script that needs KinoSearch using the cygwin perl.	[reply]
