27 | PREREQUISITES |
28 | ------------- |
29 | |
80e5fcd6 |
30 | Before you can build IO-Compress-Base you need to have the following |
25f0751f |
31 | installed on your system: |
32 | |
33 | |
34 | * Perl 5.004 or better. |
35 | |

40 | BUILDING THE MODULE |
41 | ------------------- |
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 | |
52 | INSTALLATION |
53 | ------------ |
54 | |

55 | To install IO-Compress-Base, run the command below: |
25f0751f |
56 | |
57 | make install |

80 | How to report a problem with IO-Compress-Base. |
25f0751f |
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 | |
80e5fcd6 |
97 | b. The version of IO-Compress-Base you have. |
98 | If you have successfully installed IO-Compress-Base, this one-liner |
25f0751f |
99 | will tell you: |
100 | |
101 | perl -MIO::Compress::Base -e 'print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Base::VERSION\n]' |
102 | |
103 | If you are running windows use this |
104 | |
105 | perl -MIO::Compress::Base -e "print qq[ver $IO::Compress::Base::VERSION\n]" |
106 | |
80e5fcd6 |
107 | If you haven't installed IO-Compress-Base then search IO::Compress::Base.pm |
25f0751f |
108 | for a line like this: |
109 | |
80e5fcd6 |
110 | $VERSION = "2.008" ; |
25f0751f |
111 | |
112 | |
113 | |
80e5fcd6 |
114 | 2. If you are having problems building IO-Compress-Base, send me a |
115 | complete log of what happened. Start by unpacking the IO-Compress-Base |
25f0751f |
116 | module into a fresh directory and keep a log of all the steps |
117 | |
118 | [edit config.in, if necessary] |
119 | perl Makefile.PL |
120 | make |
121 | make test TEST_VERBOSE=1 |
