Subject:

MakeMaker installdirectories NOT OK for Win32

I'm trying to build an ActivePerl like install of bleadperl on Win32. Apart from the fact that two (for Win32) important extensions don't build (libwin32-0.18 and Compress::Zlib), the part of libwin32 that does build and tests OK isn't installed in the right place. This is what my Config.pm says: installarchlib='c:\opt\perl573\lib' installprivlib='c:\opt\perl573\lib' installbin='c:\opt\perl573\bin' installhtmldir='c:\opt\perl573\html' installhtmlhelpdir='c:\opt\perl573\htmlhelp' installman1dir='c:\opt\perl573\man\man1' installman3dir='c:\opt\perl573\man\man3' installprefix='c:\opt\perl573' installprefixexp='c:\opt\perl573' installscript='c:\opt\perl573\bin' installsitearch='c:\opt\perl573\site\lib' installsitebin='c:\opt\perl573\bin' installsitelib='c:\opt\perl573\site\lib' installstyle='lib' and this is what the makefile says: INST_BIN = blib\bin INST_LIB = blib\lib INST_ARCHLIB = blib\arch INST_SCRIPT = blib\script INSTALLDIRS = site PREFIX = c:\opt\perl573 SITEPREFIX = c:\opt\perl573\site VENDORPREFIX = c:\opt\perl573 INSTALLPRIVLIB = $(PREFIX)\lib\perl5 INSTALLSITELIB = $(SITEPREFIX)\lib\perl5\site_perl INSTALLVENDORLIB = $(VENDORPREFIX)\lib\perl5 INSTALLARCHLIB = $(PREFIX)\lib\perl5\5.7.3\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread INSTALLSITEARCH = $(SITEPREFIX)\lib\perl5\site_perl\5.7.3\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread INSTALLVENDORARCH = $(VENDORPREFIX)\lib\perl5\5.7.3\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread INSTALLBIN = $(PREFIX)\bin INSTALLSITEBIN = $(SITEPREFIX)\bin INSTALLVENDORBIN = $(VENDORPREFIX)\bin INSTALLSCRIPT = $(PREFIX)\bin PERL_LIB = c:\opt\perl573\lib PERL_ARCHLIB = c:\opt\perl573\lib SITELIBEXP = c:\opt\perl573\site\lib SITEARCHEXP = c:\opt\perl573\site\lib C:\usr\local\src\.cpan>perl -MV=ExtUtils::MakeMaker ExtUtils::MakeMaker C:\opt\perl573\lib\ExtUtils\MakeMaker.pm: 5.90_01

For some reason it's not prefixifying these and you're getting the default layout. Could you run: "perl -w Makefile.PL verbose verbose" and show me the first two pages (ie. all the stuff about prefixing).

Latest snapshot on www.makemaker.org should fix this problem. Let me know.

Got it. prefixify() had a hard wired / in it. Fixed. Will be in 5.91_01. -- Michael G.

Most distributions won't have the *vendor* Config stuff set (though they should). Debian is about the only one currently using it. It's just giving you a default layout. So it looks right.
