Does not install in Windows 11 because of Crypt::Random #83

Closed hjxkyw closed 1 month ago

Hi

Thanks for your work.

Unfortunately this module does not install in Windows 11, because zef fails to install the Crypt::Random dependency. I looked at the code for Crypt::Random, and it's very old, and it seems it's not maintained anymore.

Windows build: 22000.2538

$ raku --version Welcome to Rakudo™ v2024.09. Implementing the Raku® Programming Language v6.d. Built on MoarVM version 2024.09.

$ zef --version 0.22.2

I don't really need this module, but it would be cool to play with it.

Regards

Crypt::Random is required by UUID::v4 (which Humming-Bird uses). It is said to work on Windows as well.

Can you please post an error log, thanks.

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

Below is the output of "zef install Crypt::Random.

Just use zef install --force-test Crypt::Random for now. That module and it's parent aren't used in any Core Humming-Bird features, unless you use sessions.

Hi

There was an error in JSON::Unmarshal, then I installed with --force-test. Other errors showed up, in the end I installed Humming-Bird:::Core with --force-test also.

It's passing the "hello world" test. For me that's good at the moment.

Thanks for the attention

No worries. Humming-Bird is only tested for Linux and MacOS, so there may be issues running on Windows. We usually accept patches for Windows however, so if you find any issues open another one on GitHub. Thanks!
