Re: Building the 'pp' module on windows.

If I deciphered the messages in your post correctly, it looks like you're trying to install version 1.013 PAR::Packer on Strawberry Perl 5.12.3 (32-bit). Is that correct?

To see if I could replicate your CPAN install issue, I tried to install PAR::Packer into portable Strawberry Perl 5.12.3.0 (32-bit) by typing the following: cpan install PAR::Packer

On my first attempt, it installed all the prereq modules, but PAR::Packer itself failed. My second attempt, I tried the force flag (cpan install -f PAR::Packer). It installed just fine that time.

Are you sure that you can't install PAR::Packer 1.013 via CPAN?

i was installing the 'pp' module not the PAR::Packer Hmmmm.....ok. Perhaps I don't know what I'm talking about, but pp is part of PAR::Packer and I personally don't know how to install pp without installing PAR::Packer, especially since the documentation of PAR::Packer states: Currently, this module is used by the command line tool pp internally, as well as by the contributed contrib/gui_pp/gpp program. Plus, it's been my experience that every time I've installed PAR::Packer, the pp utility has been installed. D:\temp\temp\PAR-Packer-1.013\PAR-Packer-1.013>perl Makefile.PL That's from your original post. Unless you modified Makefile.PL, it definitely looks like you're installing PAR::Packer to me. But if you still want to insist that you're installing pp and not PAR::Packer, then I think you might want to share how you're modifying the contents of PAR-Packer-1.013.tar.gz to install just pp without PAR::Packer. That will help others understand that you're needing help with your modified install instead of needing help with installing unmodified package from CPAN. Of course, if you feel that I have no clue about what I'm saying, please feel free to downvote my responses and/or ignore my attempts to offer assistance.	[reply]

Hi , Thanks for your response , i was installing the 'pp' module not the PAR::Packer You don't say :) http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/pp -> http://search.cpan.org/~rschupp/PAR-Packer-1.013/lib/pp.pm and it failed through CPAN i haven't tried the force option i will probably try that and see if it works. well, at minimum CPAN (even cpanp ) would know to use dmake	[reply]

PAR-Packer-1.013 will not install on strawberry perl - try patched version: http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/perl-modules-patched/PAR-Packer-1.013_patched.tar.gz --kmx	[reply]

PAR-Packer-1.013 will not install on strawberry perl - try patched version: Yes it will , PAR-Packer-1.013 has absolutely no problem building on 32-bit strawberryperl 5.12.3, the version the OP is using, if only the OP would stop trying to use nmake when he should be using dmake	[reply]
