Mac::Carbon fails tests on Leopard

Mac Carbon fails to test on Leopard, Perl 5.8.8 with this message: AppleEvents/t/event....ok 1/305 Too many arguments to AEBuildParameters() at AppleEvents/t/event.t line 162, <DATA> line 1. # Looks like you planned 305 tests but only ran 145. # Looks like your test died just after 145. All other tests seem to work ok

That's weird, since I think Mac::Carbon is included with Leopard, and is built for it. I'll look into it. At 17:57 -0400 2007.10.30, Mark Anderson via RT wrote: Show quoted text

Just as an update to this ticket, I'm seeing the same problem trying to install Mac::Carbon under the shiny new perl5.10.0. It would be great to see this fixed so that 5.10.0 is fully usable on Leopard. Just sorry I have no idea how to fix it. Simon.

For what it's worth, the commented out $fmt on line 159 of AppleEvents/t/event.t works fine. The diff is attached. $ prove -b AppleEvents/t/event.t AppleEvents/t/event....ok 33/305 skipped: various reasons All tests successful, 33 subtests skipped.

Just confirming that Jeff's patch / workaround worked for me as well. Uncommenting line 159 makes all the tests successful and makes it build properly on MacOS X 10.5.6, Intel, perl 5.10.0. I hit this issue while trying to install an updated Bundle::CPAN, which required File::HomeDir (more specifically File::HomeDir::Darwin), which required Mac::Files which required Mac::Carbon. It would be great to see this patched and released to CPAN so others won't have any issues building this module on MacOS X 10.5.

Yeah, I need to do that, and hope to do it soon. Thanks for the ping. On Dec 23, 2008, at 12:29, Mason Brown via RT wrote: Show quoted text

Jeff's workaround makes the test happy in Leopard/Intel/5.8.8 as well.

Just in case you were wondering what would happen under a *ahem* more mature version of Mac OS: Under Mac OS 10.3.9 (Panther) PPC, AppleEvents/t/events.t passes both _with_ and _without_ the suggested modification, under Perls 5.10.0 and 5.8.1 RC3 (which Apple shipped with this OS). Is there enough interest in results under 10.2 (Jaguar) that I should load a machine and try? I can't go farther back than that, and if you want 10.4 (Tiger) say so, because that's what I would wipe to try Jaguar. Tom Wyant

This being broken with default cpan settings results in a cpan that won't even start without manually removing stuff that requires it from the library directory. Why has this not been fixed in such a long time even though the fix is so simple?
