In attempting to build Parrot (to run Rakudo) on Win32,in a Dos box, from
the root dir of Parrot,
perl Configure.pl
fails because NONE of the required files of the manifest are present
(according to Configure.pl's output). But ALL of the files are present in
their appointed places. This seems to be a problem with backslash as a
separator for filenames. Is there a workaround or flag?

(I am NOT using mingw or cygwind, just plain XP SP1. I expect to use gcc
with nmake v1.8 when I get by this problem.)

Thank you Peter Schwenn

Should I be using 5.10 for Parrot building?

Thank you, Peter Schwenn

I tried it with version 5.10.0 (build 1004), and under Cygwin. Same
result. Am I right in assuming that virtually none of the parrot/rakudo
developers is using Windows or Cygwin -- if someone WERE using Windows, he
or she might have encountered this.

It seems like such a simple, and "early in the build process" error that it
would affect anyone building with Windows.

Thank you

You can drop this thread if you like. This is a waste of your time. What I
need to do is to find someone who is building parrot with XP, Cygwin or
mingw -- who has been through most of what I'm going to encounter.

Thank you

I often build with Strawberry Perl's toolkit on windows with no
problem, and we have several active windows developers; I tend to
build right out of the repository, though, and not off the releases.

At first blush it sounds like the filenames got case-mangled when the
package was unzipped. How did you unpack the file?

As a data point, I just grabbed parrot-0.8.1-tar.gz from CPAN and was
able to run Configure.pl with no issues using a recent Strawberry
perl. I'm not seeing the case mangled filenames; they match up with
what's in the MANIFEST for me.

Regards.

I second Will's examination. trunk and the 0.8.1 release tarball
Configure just fine for me as well. That's Windows XP SP3, Perl 5.10
and VC++ 9.

Will Coleda,

1. To correct myself and be more precise, out of the approx 3700 files in
the MANIFEST, my running of Perl Configure.pl only shows those (~126) below
as missing (but they aren't missing):

[and 2. It looks like the files "not found" in the manifest check don't have
the same upper/lower case spelling as the ones that are actually the
released parrot-0.8.1...gz. For example in the MANIFEST it's
...hq9plus... while in the released files its HQ9Plus and similarly in the
MANIFEST ...lib/Parrot... while the files are ...lib/parrot ]

quoting from the Configure.pl run:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C:\parrot-0.8.0>perl Configure.pl

Hello, I'm Configure. My job is to poke and prod your system to figure out
how to build Parrot. The process is completely automated, unless you passed
in
the `--ask' flag on the command line, in which case I'll prompt you for a
few
pieces of info.

Since you're running this program, you obviously have Perl 5--I'll be
pulling
some defaults from its configuration.

Ack, some files were missing! I can't continue running
without everything here. Please try to find the above
files and then try running Configure again.
