How to install globally? #8

Closed fbrinker closed 6 years ago

fbrinker commented 6 years ago

Hello,

I would like to install efa globally / make it available for all users on my system. I am using a script for Conky and Polybar that shows me the next available trains for my route including a possible delay. Works fine if I start conky or polybar with my current user, I built the project with, because efa is installed in /home/fbrinker/perl5. But even using /home/fbrinker/perl5/bin/efa in my scripts didn't work for other users because they miss the libraries.

I've tried building the project with sth like this perl Build.PL --install_base /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl and other pathes "i could find", but I didn't get it to work. At the end efa was available but not the lib Travel/Routing...

What would be the right way to solve this?

My build script looks like this (building from a repo clone):

cd Travel-Routing-DE-VRR

cpan Module::Build
perl Build installdeps

perl Build.PL
#perl Build.PL --install_base /usr/share/perl5
#perl Build.PL --install_base /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
./Build
./Build manifest

sudo ./Build install

Many thanks in advance, Florian

On most systems that should work just fine, though depending on your umask Build install doesn't always get the permissions right. Try running sudo chmod -R a+rX /usr/local/share/perl (replace path as appropriate) after installation.

Hmm I've tried the following pathes

#perl Build.PL --install_base /usr/share/perl5
#perl Build.PL --install_base /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
#perl Build.PL --install_base /usr/share/perl5/site_perl

Even with the updated permissions i'didn't get it to work and got the following message

Can't locate Travel/Routing/DE/EFA.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Travel::Routing::DE::EFA module) (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.26/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.26/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.26/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/bin/efa line 14.

I've installed it as root user for now. That works fine, hm :) Don't know why i didn't think about that before...
