RE: [log4perl-devel] l4p and win32

[Viner, D. <dv...@ya...>]

after an evening of messing with my win32 installation, i got l4p to work.
i had to remove my perl5.6.1 installation, and reinstall 5.8.2.  Then i
followed the directions from 

	
http://log4perl.sourceforge.net/releases/Log-Log4perl/docs/html/Log/Log4perl
/FAQ.html#how_can_i_install_log__log4perl_on_microsoft_windows

One thing we might consider... the ppd file requires File::Spec to be
available.  However, its not always appropriately available.  I had to
download the zip archive from
http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/8xx-builds-only/Windows/ ...
NOTE: that's for 5.8.2 Build 8xx ...for Builds 6xx (623), it'd be from
http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/6xx-builds-only/, and for Build
5xx (522) it _should_ be from
http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/5xx-builds-only/ but it's not
listed.

Even if you don't want to keep a copy of the archives in the l4p repository,
we should strongly consider adding some notes to the FAQ about this.

Hi,

I just upgraded my win32 perl installation from 5.6.1 to 5.8.2.  Now when I
run nmake test on the Log4perl tests, the following tests fail:

t\006Config-Java.....dubious
        Test returned status 5 (wstat 1280, 0x500)
DIED. FAILED test 2
        Failed 1/2 tests, 50.00% okay
t\007LogPrio.........ok
t\008ConfCat.........ok
t\009Deuce...........ok
t\010JConsole........dubious
        Test returned status 5 (wstat 1280, 0x500)
DIED. FAILED test 1
        Failed 1/1 tests, 0.00% okay
t\011JFile...........dubious
        Test returned status 5 (wstat 1280, 0x500)
DIED. FAILED test 1
        Failed 1/1 tests, 0.00% okay
t\012Deeper..........dubious
        Test returned status 5 (wstat 1280, 0x500)
DIED. FAILED tests 1-3
        Failed 3/3 tests, 0.00% okay
t\037JWin32Event.....dubious
        Test returned status 5 (wstat 1280, 0x500)


is this a known issue?

dave

yes, File::Spec was installed by default.  However, PPM wanted to install it
anyway.  I'm not sure how exactly ppm decides what it needs to install.
But, once I installed the File-Spec, all was well in the world.

if i'm the only person having this issue, then perhaps it's something weird
about my setup... or my uninstall/reinstall...

maybe the archive of this email will be sufficient... dunno....

Sorry for the slow response -- trying to catch up ...

I'm surprised File::Spec isn't available, it should be a core module. 
Does 5.8.2 come without?

File-Spec recently got a version bump.  Maybe this triggered the upgrade 
- either explicitly
(by package require-ing latest), or by accidental PPM feature (hey 
theres a new one - get that too!)
