42 | |
43 | Assuming you have met all the prerequisites, the module can now be built |
44 | using this sequence of commands: |
45 | |
46 | perl Makefile.PL |
47 | make |
48 | make test |
49 | |
50 | |
51 | |

77 | FEEDBACK |
78 | -------- |
79 | |
80 | How to report a problem with IO::Compress::Base. |
81 | |
82 | To help me help you, I need all of the following information: |
83 | |
84 | 1. The Versions of everything relevant. |
85 | This includes: |
86 | |
87 | a. The *complete* output from running this |
88 | |
89 | perl -V |
90 | |
91 | Do not edit the output in any way. |
92 | Note, I want you to run "perl -V" and NOT "perl -v". |
93 | |
94 | If your perl does not understand the "-V" option it is too |
95 | old. This module needs Perl version 5.004 or better. |
96 | |
97 | b. The version of IO::Compress::Base you have. |
98 | If you have successfully installed IO::Compress::Base, this one-liner |
99 | will tell you: |
100 | |
101 | perl -MIO::Compress::Base -e 'print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Base::VERSION\n]' |
102 | |
103 | If you areplete* output from running this |
104 | |
105 | perl -V |
106 | |
107 | Do not edit the output in any way. |
108 | Note, I want you to run "perl -V" and NOT "perl -v". |
109 | |
110 | If your perl does not understand the "-V" option it is too |
111 | old. This module needs Perl version 5.004 or better. |
112 | |
113 | b. The version of IO::Compress::Base you have. |
114 | If you have successfully installed IO::Compress::Base, this one-liner |
115 | will tell you: |
116 | |
117 | perl -MIO::Compress::Base -e 'print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Base::VERSION\n]' |
118 | |
119 | If you are running windows use this |
120 | |
121 | perl -MIO::Compress::Base -e "print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Base::VERSION\n]" |
122 | |
123 | If you haven't installed IO::Compress::Base then search IO::Compress::Base.pm |
124 | for a line like this: |
125 | |
126 | $VERSION = "1.05" ; |
127 | |
128 | |
129 | |
130 | 2. If you are having problems building IO::Compress::Base, send me a |
131 | complete log of what happened. Start by unpacking the IO::Compress::Base |
132 | module into a fresh directory and keep a log of all the steps |
133 | |
134 | [edit config.in, if necessary] |
135 | perl Makefile.PL |
136 | make |
137 | make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 |
