18 | PREREQUISITES |
| 19 | ------------- | |
| 20 | ||
| 80e5fcd6 | 21 | Before you can build IO-Compress-Base you need to have the following |
| 25f0751f PM |
22 | installed on your system: |
| 23 | ||
| 25f0751f PM |
24 | * Perl 5.004 or better. |
| 25 | ||
| 25f0751f PM |
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 PM |

| 48 | ||
| 80e5fcd6 | 49 | How to report a problem with IO-Compress-Base. |
| 25f0751f PM |
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 PM |
66 | b. The version of IO-Compress-Base you have. |
| 67 | If you have successfully installed IO-Compress-Base, this one-liner | |
| 25f0751f PM |
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 PM |
77 | for a line like this: |
| 78 | ||
| a1787f24 | 79 | $VERSION = "2.011" ; |
| 25f0751f | 80 | |
| 80e5fcd6 PM |
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 PM |
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 | |
