| Subject: | Win32API-File-0.09 tests fail with perl5.8.8/mingw |
When I run `dmake test` I get this error message:
Directory blib\arch/Win32API/File/cFile.pc not allowed in require at
blib\lib/Win32API/File.pm line 149.
(note: I'm not running activeperl, it's built from source with mingw)
I think the problem may be to do with perl patch 26373
which makes perl-5.8.8 refuse to load directories as files.
Below is the full output of the commands
perl Makefile.PL
dmake
dmake test
perl -V
gcc --version
Regarding a comment in File.pm,
I don't know if it would have helped to follow these instructions, but I
couldn't figure out *exactly* what syntax this was saying to use:
# * Modify F<Makefile.PL> to add WriteMakeFile() =>
# CONST2PERL/postamble => [[ "Win32API::File" => ]] WRITE_PERL => 1.
I did eventually manage to get all tests passing.
To do this I edited File.pm so that line 149 read:
require Win32API::File::cFile;
instead of:
require "Win32API/File/cFile.pc";
Then after running `dmake` I deleted the directory
"blib/arch/Win32API/File/cFile.pc"
And copied cFile.pc to blib/arch/Win32API/File/cFile.pm
* output follows *
