15 | This module is the base class for all IO::Compress and IO::Uncompress |
25f0751f |
16 | modules. |
17 | |
25f0751f |
18 | PREREQUISITES |
19 | ------------- |
20 | |
80e5fcd6 |
21 | Before you can build IO-Compress-Base you need to have the following |
25f0751f |
22 | installed on your system: |
23 | |
25f0751f |
24 | * Perl 5.004 or better. |
25 | |

26 | BUILDING THE MODULE |
27 | ------------------- |
28 | |
29 | Assuming you have met all the prerequisites, the module can now be built |
30 | using this sequence of commands: |
31 | |
32 | perl Makefile.PL |
33 | make |
34 | make test |
35 | |
25f0751f |
36 | INSTALLATION |
37 | ------------ |
38 | |

39 | To install IO-Compress-Base, run the command below: |
25f0751f |
40 | |
41 | make install |
42 | |

49 | How to report a problem with IO-Compress-Base. |
25f0751f |
50 | |
51 | To help me help you, I need all of the following information: |
52 | |
53 | 1. The Versions of everything relevant. |
54 | This includes: |
55 | |
56 | a. The *complete* output from running this |
57 | |
58 | perl -V |
59 | |
60 | Do not edit the output in any way. |
61 | Note, I want you to run "perl -V" and NOT "perl -v". |
62 | |
63 | If your perl does not understand the "-V" option it is too |
64 | old. This module needs Perl version 5.004 or better. |
65 | |
80e5fcd6 |
66 | b. The version of IO-Compress-Base you have. |
67 | If you have successfully installed IO-Compress-Base, this one-liner |
25f0751f |
68 | will tell you: |
69 | |
70 | perl -MIO::Compress::Base -e 'print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Base::VERSION\n]' |
71 | |
72 | If you are running windows use this |
73 | |
74 | perl -MIO::Compress::Base -e "print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Base::VERSION\n]" |
75 | |
80e5fcd6 |
76 | If you haven't installed IO-Compress-Base then search IO::Compress::Base.pm |
25f0751f |
77 | for a line like this: |
78 | |
9253672d |
79 | $VERSION = "2.015" ; |
25f0751f |
80 | |
80e5fcd6 |
81 | 2. If you are having problems building IO-Compress-Base, send me a |
82 | complete log of what happened. Start by unpacking the IO-Compress-Base |
25f0751f |
83 | module into a fresh directory and keep a log of all the steps |
84 | |
85 | [edit config.in, if necessary] |
86 | perl Makefile.PL |
87 | make |
88 | make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 |
