Getting Closer

June 3, 2006

I been thinkering around with getting Catalyst to work under Cygwin this morning. I tried using it under Activestate’s Perl and well that has been nothing short of a disaster. This time around i’d figure i will use cygwin instead with the shadowcat installer, that way i will have all the tools i will need in order to get everything work.

After running the installer, everthing appeared to have been built correctly and i also was able to get sqlite built in cygwin as well. One hurdle I came across was when i issued a make install it is uses a tcl script to install sqlite. Is that it bitches about a variable not being set..

tclsh ./tclinstaller.tcl 3.3
can't read "env(DESTDIR)": no such variable
while executing
"set LIBDIR $env(DESTDIR)[lindex $auto_path 0]"
(file "./tclinstaller.tcl" line 10)
make: *** [tcl_install] Error 1

All i had to do was comment out the line in the makefile that says HAVE_TCL = 1, i found this out after a quick google search which revealed this blog entry .

Now that i have almost everything in place, I am going to try some of the tutorials and see if I can get them working
