Problem with building pLoader

Hi,
I am trying to build the pLoader src. I am on Windows and have installed Strawberry. When I run the build_pLoader.bat, I am getting the following error message-
'pp' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. How do I proceed? Is there an alternate way to package the Perl code on Windows?
Thanks in advance,
Raghav

Re: Problem with building pLoader

It's been a long time since I've worked in Perl but this sounds like a PATH issue. You'll need to make sure the path to your Perl directory (make sure it's the directory with pp in it) is set in your system environment.

Here's a page explaining how to change your path variable in Windows.

http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm

Once it's set the system should be able to find the PAR packager file to proceed.

This might be off base but it sounds like it's the issue.

Edit: Have you installed the "PAR::Packer" package?

Re: Problem with building pLoader

Hi bjordan,
I have tried what you have suggested-
1) Set the PATH to the appropriate perl directory.

2) Install PAR::Packer - Facing the following issues with installing PAR-
a) When I try to nmake PAR-1.002, I get the following error msgs-

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe' : return code '0xff'
Stop.

b) When I run "perl Makefile.PL" in PAR-Packer

How do I proceed?

Re: Problem with building pLoader

Hi ksraghavendra,

Which version of Strawberry Perl did you install? I think pLoader has been built with Perl 5.10 so far, not with Perl 5.12 (for example).

Re: Problem with building pLoader

And also: which version of the source code do you test? pLoader trunk or pLoader 1.6?

Re: Problem with building pLoader

Hi plg,
I have installed Strawberry 5.12.2.0 & used pLoader 1.6. Should I try with an earlier version of Strawberry? Is it possible to build the same on ActivePerl?

Raghav

Re: Problem with building pLoader

I recommend you try with Strawberry Perl 5.10. I do not recommend to use ActivePerl (the build script was designed for Strawberry)
