Is there a ppm for OI. I am trying to install on a Win2K laptop for
use as a development environment. I don't have a compiler (I have
cygwin, but make never works). I am a little confused by the INSTALL
file. It says:
(1) Run the normal perl install
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test (no tests yet...)
make install
Which of course I can't do. Then further down it says:
OpenInteract uses a number of libraries, and all of them are
readily available via CPAN. For those on Win32 systems without
a compiler, most of them are also available via the PPM
installation system. Some modules requiring compilation are
not available via PPM and are available at:
http://openinteract.sourceforge.net/
But there is no ppm available for OI itsself. Why would they provide
ppm's for people without a compiler, but still expect them to be able
to compile OI?
Am I missing something? Thanks in advance for any help.

Probably because you can download the 'nmake' utility from Microsoft and do the normal 'perl Makefile.PL; nmake; nmake install' without problem. You can get nmake at: http://download.microsoft.com/download/vc15/Patch/1.52/W95/EN-US/Nmake15.exe It expands to nmake.exe, nmake.err and a README. Stick the .exe and .err files somewhere in your path (even in \perl\bin) and you should be golden. Note that the CPAN shell (a Perl hacker's best friend) is also quite happy to use nmake. One of the problems with creating a PPM is that there are a few additional files required (all the package tarballs) along with a script you need to install somewhere in your path (oi_manage). I'm not sure how to get PPM to do this, and since nobody's asked before I'm kind of inclined to remain ignorant of that knowledge. If using nmake doesn't work for you, ping the list back and I'll see what I can do. Chris -- Chris Winters (ch...@cw...) Building enterprise-capable snack solutions since 1988. |

Nmake works fine. I used it to install Apache-Session and Date-Format, which were the only mods I couldn't get via ppm. The problem I'm having now is trying to get Apache-Request (libapreq) installed. This is the final requirement for me to install OI. The problem is that I found a ppm package for mod_perl, and so I don't have the source. Of course Makefile.PL complains about this, and I am unable to install libapreq. I realy don't want to have to compile Apache & mod_perl from source. Is there a way around this? Thanks IA. -- Matt oi...@ir... |

You can grab them at: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/ Note that Apache::Request is listed as libapreq. Chris -- Chris Winters (ch...@cw...)

I checked there last night, but didn't see the libapreq package. I guess I didn't look hard enough. I got OI installed. Nmake worked like a charm. Thanks for your help. -- Matt oi...@ir... |

Can you define your website/repository directories like this instead: --website_dir=c:/apache/OI/conf/package_repository.perl IIRC OI uses join( '/', $dir, $dir ) instead of File::Spec to create paths, and I think Win32 will do either '/' or '\' but not both in the same path. The fact that things worked is kind of weird though... Chris -- Chris Winters (ch...@cw...) Building enterprise-capable snack solutions since 1988. |
