| Subject: | Installation Difficulty Using cpan Shell |
In order to better understand File-HomeDir-Win32 I tried to install it today but encountered
some difficulties. As I usually do, I used the cpan shell. There were uninstalled
prerequisites, which I okayed for installation, and some of those prereqs had prereqs of their
own. All was fine until I was required to install Win32::Security::SID; I've excerpted the
relevant part of the screen output into the attached file Win32.Security.failure.txt. The key
lines:
Package seems to come without Makefile.PL.
(The test -f "\.cpan\build\Win32-Security-0.50\Makefile.PL" returned false.)
Writing one on our own (setting NAME to Win32SecuritySID)
...
Creating custom builder _build\lib\Module\Build\Win32Security.pm in
_build\lib\Module\Build
Too early to specify a build action 'Build'. Do 'Build Build' instead.
NMAKE : U1077:

C:\WINNT\system32\nmake.EXE -- NOT OK

Can't test without successful make
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
... and without Win32::Security installed, the tests for File::HomeDir::Win32 naturally failed,
as did installation.
I then tried to install Win32::Security manually with Module::Build. Win32::Security in turn
had prerequisites, which I didn't get installed because I got sidetracked with reality at my day
job. I suspect I could have eventually gotten Win32::Security installed, at which point File::
HomeDir::Win32 would have been installable as well.
Am I correct in thinking that the problem was that the cpan shell gagged when it found a
prerequisite needing installation which was Module::Build-only?
If so, I wonder how many other distributions on CPAN might suffer from this problem.
