RE: [Expectperl-discuss] errors when installing io::tty under cyg win

[Maloney, G. <ger...@in...>]

Morning Roland
	I though that if it failed to find the necessary file that the
Makefile would be incomplete. So I did include the other errors, but here
they are 

When I do a make I get the following

gcc -c  -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV -fno-strict-aliasing 
-I/usr/local/include -DUSEIMPORTLIB -O2   -DVERSION=\"0.05\"
-DXS_VERSION=\"0.05\" 
-I/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin-multi/CORE -DHAS_TTYNAME Tty.cygwin-multi/CORE
-DHAS_TTYNAME Tty.c
Tty.xs:111: Invalid token in expression
Tty.xs:242: Invalid token in expression
make: *** [Tty.o] Error 1

and the make test yields the same error

$ perl test.pl
Using /cygdrive/c/temp/IO-Tty-0.05/blib
Can't load '/usr/bin/Tty' for module IO::Tty: dlopen: Win32 error 126 at

So there seem to have a build problem .

What kind of difficulties?  Does it not compile?  Do the tests fail?

No problem so far.  If those libraries were crucial, no Makefile would 
be written.  Go ahead and do a 'make' and 'make test', it should work.

BTW, there is a new version available that has a much improved pty 
allocation.  It still has beta status, as I first want to test it on as 
much different systems as possible, but if you want you could try it 
out.  Find it on CPAN under R/RG/RGIERSIG/IO-Tty-0.92_03.tar.gz.  There 
is also a matching Expect version there, Expect-1.13_01.tar.gz.

Hope this helps,

Roland
