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 | |

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 | |
