Can the latest Catalyst version from CPAN be installed under Windows?

Hi,

I have tried to install Catalyst with CPAN, but it gave an error telling that it has a missing dependency in Plack::Test::ExternalServer.

That module couldn't install because of a test error (something like a missing empty port or something like that)

So I force installed Plack::Test::ExternalServer, but after this step, when I tried to install again Catalyst, it gave more errors:

Failed 107/141 test programs. 15/385 subtests failed.

If you are on OS X, you can use MacPorts to install Catalyst. I had tried using CPAN, but got seemingly circular errors as well.

Re: Can the latest Catalyst version from CPAN be installed under Windows? [In reply to]

I'd really love to see some logs of this problem. I am on MacOSX and don't have problems of this magnitude when installing Catalyst. However I don't use the built in system Perl, I use Perlbrew + local::lib + cpanm as my primary build toolchain. If I use a modern Perl (5.12+) the only things that give me trouble is the bit of extra work it takes to install DBD::mysql (need to make sure you set the ENV var to point to the mysql_config utility if that is not in $PATH).

I know Catalyst does have quite a few dependencies, but I round tripped installing Catalyst and Task::Catalyst many times as part of the testing I did prior to the latest release, so I know that it can work (abet a bit time consuming to run all the tests for all the dependencies). If you follow the generally promoted process:

1) Setup a local Perl with perlbrew and a modern Perl.
2) Create and activate a local::lib where you dependencies will go (in other words never install stuff into the perlbrew managed Perl)
3) use cpanm

You should have little trouble. Again, I'd love to see the logs. I know the temptation to use some sort of port system here is quite high, but my experience is that this is not a great path for developers and the port/deb/rpm etc. almost always get something wrong that causes you pain in the end.

Just my experience. Hope this helps.

Re: Can the latest Catalyst version from CPAN be installed under Windows? [In reply to]

I just did a clean reinstall when I upgraded to Lion... I used MacPorts Perl (5.12.3) and loaded Catalyst through CPAN without any major issues that I recall.

What is the reason for not installing into perlbrew managed
libs? I've got perlbrew setup almost exclusively for Catalyst,
so why do the extra modules need to be installed elsewhere?

Erm... Anyone saw the subject line of this thread? It's about Windows ... not Mac OS X.

Sorry Octavian, I don't have any clue of what's going on there on Windows.

If you install all your cpan dependencies into your perlbrew managed perl you'd have to reinstall perlbrew from scratch if you want to truly test your build system. Â For me, I like to test my build by building everything from the start and I can do that by either just deleting my local lib directory or creating a new local lib. Â Also if you work on multiple projects, or support several different cpan modules, I find it prudent to have one local lib per project Â for everything to be cleanly separated. Â I realize that leads to a lot of possible duplication, but hard drive space is pretty cheap nowadays.

I also tend to test my cpan dists into a clean, new local lib before pushing to cpan, just to make sure I didn't mess anything up.

I just find separating the two to be clean and productive, but your results may vary. Â I install Perl with perlbrew and then try to forget about it, keep it pristine. Â I just suggest it if you are having trouble because my method is a way that I know works well. Â Following this has lead me to be able to install my applications very successfully. Â If you change the process I can be certain it will work as well, although it might.

LOL, I guess I just noticed stuff about macports etc and just responding to that. Sorry, I also can't say much about windows expect you can always using a virtual machine :)

I'm glad that worked for you then, although I'd still recommend local lib to manage your post installed Perl dependencies. Having all your deps in a global area does often cause trouble. Good luck!

Thanks for all that. I can understand all those benefits but not
sure they apply in my case. I'm treating perlbrew as a
heavy-handed local::lib and since it's working for me I'll leave
it as-is.

Thanks again,
Charlie
