Storable not installed under windows

[zdm]

Hi, I post this issue here, because of:

Storable was written by Raphael Manfredi <Raphael_Manfredi@pobox.com> Maintenance is now done by cperl http://perl11.org/cperl

and I didn't found any other ways to report this bug.

So, Storable v3.09 not build under strawberry perl 5.26.2

Checking dependencies from MYMETA.json ...
Checking if you have XSLoader 0 ... Yes (0.27)
Checking if you have ExtUtils::MakeMaker 0 ... Yes (7.34)
Building and testing Storable-3.09 ... "D:\devel\perl\perl\bin\perl.exe" Storable.pm.PL
gmake: *** No rule to make target 'lib/Storable/Limit.pm', needed by 'pm_to_blib'.  Stop.

Although I don't have any special knowledge of either cperl, Storage, or Strawberry Perl, l just tried building under GNU/Linux and see that it has some funky code for determining MAX_DEPTH, the recursion limit.

If you look at the Perl stacksize script in the distribution, indeed, it has some MSWin32-specific code, so I guess it is not surprising it would fail there and not on GNU/Linux.

Let me close with one pro tip in bug reporting - if your expectation is that someone else (probably volunteering his/her time) will look at and fix a problem you encountered, you can increase the chance that this will happen or happen sooner the more you do make it easier for that would-be investigator. The error message you report above indicates a log file where there is more detail. My suggestion is to take that log and create a github gist for it and link it to your issue.

Nope, not me.

That’s the p5p version: XSAWYERX/Storable-3.09 p5p took over maintenance again.

I’m still working on the fixes, in my 3.06 branch.

This version is missing a lib/Storable/Limit.pm rule in the Makefile. cperl had that fixed, but they changed the stack sizes from an hardcoded internal header file to be user-editable in Storable::Limit.

@zdm looks like, yes, stacksize failed. On my system this was automatically created in the Makefile running make lib/Storable/Limit.pm (and its output was shown to me in building). You could try running that to see what's up by running that by hand.

However a workaround is to use the file I got on GNU/Linux for my specific setup and use or modify that:

$Storable::recursion_limit = 16296
  unless defined $Storable::recursion_limit;

$Storable::recursion_limit_hash = 9771
  unless defined $Storable::recursion_limit_hash;
1;
