Difficulty configuring Defects4J on Windows machine #560

Closed aiyaya50 closed 1 month ago

aiyaya50 commented 2 months ago

Hello, I have been receving an error prompt while trying to configure defects4J on windows PC. I installed the following requirements. Java 22 git version 2.44.0.windows.1 perl 5, version 38, subversion 2 (v5.38.2) SVN - TortoiseSVN 1.14.6.29673

I tried to run this command 'cpanm --installdeps . ' Error prompt- psxai4@LUIN79575 MINGW64 ~/datasets/defects4j (master) $ cpanm --installdeps . --> Working on .

This looks more like a question for how to configure and run cpanm (or install Perl dependencies) in this particular environment. (Note that some packages require build tools such as make/gcc etc. being available; hard to tell whether this error is caused by missing tools or some package version incompatibility.)

If possible, you may want to run D4J under WSL or in a VM -- these options have reliably worked for other Windows users.

I run D4J in VM as suggested and work perfectly.

Thank you for the feedback.

Glad it's working!
