@rmeden https://github.com/rmeden Yes, I've used these instructions. But I found a few tripping hazards in it:

1. In http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/XMLTVWindowsBuild it says that one could use version xmltv-0.5.65.tar.bz2 for example. But the makefile does not use PAR::Packer as stated here: http://wiki.xmltv.org/index.php/XMLTVexeBuild . With version 1.1.1 of the source code I works.
2. Quite a few directory names in the makefile have to be changed (at least for the windows build), for example: $(DESTDIR)/./$(PREFIX)/share/doc/xmltv-1.1.1 -> $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/share/doc/xmltv-1.1.1. $(DESTDIR) is empty so the directories start with "/./" what makes them invalid.
3. The packer module is "PAR::Packer" not "Par::Packer". So it has to be installed with "cpan PAR::Packer".
4. "gmake xmltv.exe" also requires Params::Validate which has to be installed by "cpan Params::Validate".

Par::Packer shouldn't be needed for "XMLTVWindowsBuild" only the EXE build.  (just don't do a "gmake xmltv.exe"  "gmake install" should install all the grabbers in native perl.

I didn't need to make any file changes, but my directories don't have spaces or version numbers in them ( C:\xmltv )

I haven't tried it from a tar distribution, just from a git pull... I'll have a new work laptop, I'll try to follow the instructions there and see if it needs updating.

I just ran though the install and made a few teaks.

• updated the instructions to pull from github, not sourceforge (the instructions said that .tar.gz file was an example, not current)
• I didn't have a problem putting the zip file contents in c:\xmltv as I suggested (not xmltv-1.1.0)
• I updated the PAR::Packer name to be correct.
• My install didn't need Params::Validate. It was probably added by a WindowsBUild prerequsite. I'll add it to the notes.
