Ok. Sorry to get back so late on this. I tried yesterday but got
frustrated with Cygwin trying to install PostgreSQL and stuff...
Postgresql on Cygwin is a snap. Jason Tishler put together the
Postgresql package and here is his install instructions:
http://www.tishler.net/jason/software/postgresql/
And I have a little script that does it for me:
~/bin/psql $ cat START_PG
#!/bin/sh -x
rm /usr/share/postgresql/data/postmaster.pid
ipc-daemon2 &
postmaster -i -D /usr/share/postgresql/data &
~/bin/psql $
Anyway, I trace this to Alzabo-0.80/inc/Alzabo/Build.PL which does a
'use Cwd' which apparently conflicts with M::B's override of cwd. Can
you comment out that use declaration and post your results.
a different use Cwd must be commented out. I did a recursive search for
all such uses:
cd /home/metaperl/.cpan/build/Alzabo-0.80/
find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -e grep -n Cwd
./Build.PL:5:#use Cwd;
./inc/Alzabo/Build.pm:10:#use Cwd;
./Makefile.PL:11:# require Cwd;
./Makefile.PL:16: my $cwd = Cwd::cwd();
./t/lib/Alzabo/Test/Utils.pm:6:#use Cwd ();
./t/lib/Alzabo/Test/Utils.pm:58: my $cwd = Cwd::cwd();
and commented them all out. Now the test suite passes and I am
installing Alzabo-0.80. I am a happy man.
Many thanks to Randy for his help.
When I do this it goes a little further listing a bunch of
prerequisites I'm not going to install unless there are further
problems because Cygwin is extremely slow. I can run linux inside a VM
Ware virtual machine faster than Cygwin (no exageration).
hmm, you have me licking my lips. A real Linux installation but with the
tcp/ip ease-of-installation of Windows???
and no quirky compile problems because everybody develops and tests on
Linux??? hmm....
