KNOWN PROBLEMS with version 5.8.2 and CPAN of 2003/12/04

Most of the mentioned patches are sent to the respected authors; see also the subdirectory patches of this distribution. With patched-enough CPAN.pm (as in binary distribution), one can put patches to $CPANHOME/.cpan/patches/ subdirectory, and they will be auto-applied.

For general installation instructions see "Building a binary distribution" in perlos2.

Net_SSLeay.pm-1.25

Server-client communication failing during tests. The test leaves two server processes running; these processes need to be killed manually for the CPAN session to end.

CPANPLUS

fails backend test...

No tests defined for these extensions

Curses
XML::Sablotron::DOM
XML::Sablotron::Situation
XML::Sablotron::SXP
XML::Sablotron::Processor
XML::Registry
XML::miniXQL::Parser
File::NCopy

Some porting issues remain, but are not caught by the test suite

SQLite relies on st_inode for file locking. This part of code will not work under EMX.

Build quirks

Sometimes the CPAN process gets stuck and needs to be killed manually. This is not reproducible... Sometime mkdir produces the error disk full; again not reproducible.

Some modules need to be installed by hand; these are all the modules with build failures, and their dependencies (such as DBD-RAM-0.072 depending on DBD::CSV). Additionally:

CPANPLUS

Will not work with redirection <nul.

Can be build/installed with (with failing dependency on IPC::Run):

perl5.8.2 -wle "$ENV{PERL5OPT} .= join q( -Mblib=), '', grep -f qq($_/.cpantok), <../*>; print $ENV{PERL5OPT}; exec @ARGV" perl5.8.2 Makefile.PL

etc. It fails backend test... Should be manually installed.

LWP

succeeds when tested as

perl5.8.2 -MCwd=cwd -wle "$c = cwd; $ENV{PERL5OPT} .= join q( -Mblib=), '', grep -f qq($_/.cpantok), <$c/../*>; print $ENV{PERL5OPT}; exec @ARGV" make test

Then may be manually installed.

??? To be continued...

AOUT Build quirks

Fortunately, only XML::LibXLT is a dependence of Makefile.PL on another XSUB module. So the fact that we installed modules with perl.exe makes all other prerequisites available with perl_.exe too.

Observed problems:

pm_to_blib need to be removed

otherwise .pm files will not be copied to ../blib.

Some modules expect to find blib in the current directory

???

Some modules will not build with FIRST_MAKEFILE redefined

???

Some modules will not work with static build

???

Some modules will not work from a subdirectory of toplevel Makefile.PL

PAR, Mailtools, and libwww, XML::SAX.

Net_SSLeay

resets FIRST_MAKEFILE from Makefile.aout to Makefile?!

SQLite

'OPTIMIZE'      => "-O6 -DNDEBUG=1 -DSQLITE_PTR_SZ=$Config{ptrsize}",

is extremely wrong (kid Makefiles is run with parent's OPTIMIZE).

CPANPLUS::Shell::Curses

I needed to manually run force install to get Test::Pod installed...

via

env PERL_RL=0 perl5.8.2 -MCPAN -eshell |& tee 000cpan-5.8.2-newindex-install-sh-cur

). To test for this, one may need to create a Makefile.PL in the build directory, and `make -j4 test <nul'.
