What version of tar
is in your path? I think on modern windows it is usually bsdtar
?
The command tar --help
gives the following output:
tar(bsdtar): manipulate archive files
First option must be a mode specifier:
-c Create -r Add/Replace -t List -u Update -x Extract
Common Options:
-b # Use # 512-byte records per I/O block
-f <filename> Location of archive (default \\.\tape0)
-v Verbose
-w Interactive
Create: tar -c [options] [<file> | <dir> | @<archive> | -C <dir> ]
<file>, <dir> add these items to archive
-z, -j, -J, --lzma Compress archive with gzip/bzip2/xz/lzma
--format {ustar|pax|cpio|shar} Select archive format
--exclude <pattern> Skip files that match pattern
-C <dir> Change to <dir> before processing remaining files
@<archive> Add entries from <archive> to output
List: tar -t [options] [<patterns>]
<patterns> If specified, list only entries that match
Extract: tar -x [options] [<patterns>]
<patterns> If specified, extract only entries that match
-k Keep (don't overwrite) existing files
-m Don't restore modification times
-O Write entries to stdout, don't restore to disk
-p Restore permissions (including ACLs, owner, file flags)
bsdtar 3.5.2 - libarchive 3.5.2 zlib/1.2.5.f-ipp
So it is indeed bsdtar version 3.5.2. To be complete, my Windows version is Windows 10 22H2 (OS build 19045.3086)
I don't have access to my Windows box right now, but should be able to look at this soon. I've transferred this issue to Alien-Build because it is not specific to Alien::Libxml2.
@MarcelVersteeg can you try this trail version of Alien::Build: https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/P/PL/PLICEASE/Alien-Build-2.81_01.tar.gz and then try reinstalling Alien::Libxml2? It should use the Archive::Tar instead of the command line BSD tar to extract the tarball.
@plicease I tried to install that version, but after installing/updating a lot of the required modules for that, I got stuck at installing Compress::Raw::Lzma:

Lzma.xs:18:18: fatal error: lzma.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
dmake: Error code 129, while making 'Lzma.o'
I cannot compile that one, so I can't install it in order to install the trial version.
This is a problem with AS Perl and/or Compress::Raw::Lzma
. (Compress::Raw::Lzma
and lzma.h
have come with Strawberry Perl for a while I think). If you have a support agreement with AS it might be worth opening a ticket with them. Unfortunately they do not provide downloads of older versions of AS Perl so I have no way of even reproducing this to see if there is a workaround to get the Lzma module installed.
Failing all of that here is a workaround that you can use to get it working for you:
Download the libxml2 package https://download.gnome.org/sources/libxml2/2.11/libxml2-2.11.4.tar.xz into a directory patch
in the Alien-Libxml2 dist. Decompress with xz (I believe it is already in your path, that is what is causing the hang with bsdtar).
mkdir patch
cd patch
curl -LO https://download.gnome.org/sources/libxml2/2.11/libxml2-2.11.4.tar.xz
xd -d libxml2-2.11.4.tar.xz
then apply this patch to use the local copy instead of trying to fetch it from gitlab:
diff --git a/alienfile b/alienfile
index dcfb4eb..56ce7f2 100644
--- a/alienfile
+++ b/alienfile

Then try installing as normal.
@plicease Sorry for the late reply, but something else came up inbetween.
I downloaded the file to the patch
directory and extracted it, resulting in a file named libxml2-2.11.4.tar
. The I applied the patch to the alienfile
that is located in the root of the package.
Then I executed dmake
again, but it still does not work:

It says "tried to call extract before download at D:/Perl64/site/lib/Alien/Build.pm line 742."
To make sure, the patch is applied correctly, lines 128-170 of alienfile are as follows now:

Did you re-use the same Alien-Libxml2 extract from before? if so can you try applying to a fresh copy of Alien-Libxml2?
@plicease I indeed used the same Alien-Libxml2 when I encountered the error. I unpacked the CPAN archive again, reapplied the patch and then dmake
worked.
What I am wondering though, is it correct that I only have a Libxml2.pm
and no binary dll after running dmake
? It seems that the only binary compilation is required for testing if I look at the dmake
output. I need to know this, because I am compiling/installing it locally and then need to transfer the files to the shared hosing server (running the same version of ActivePerl).

The libxml2 binaries are installed in a share directory. You can find the path for that share directory using the dist_dir
method:
perl -MAlien::Libxml2 -E 'say Alien::Libxml2->dist_dir'
I am trying to install Alient-Libxml2 on my Windows10 computer running ActivePerl 5.24.0 (due to a shared hosting service, I cannot use another version of Perl right now unfortunately), but the installation hangs on the extaction of the downloaded tar.xz.
