Installing cpanminus in Slic3r Perl on 64-bit Windows 10

calesh commented 7 years ago

Version

Master (pulled 2017 Aug 14)

Windows 10 Home + 1607 (64-bit)

Behavior

I am trying to set up an environment to compile Slic3r on a 64-bit Windows 10 machine with the hopes of improving support material. I have downloaded the custom Slic3r Perl https://github.com/alexrj/Slic3r/wiki/Running-Slic3r-from-git-on-Windows#slic3r-perl, but when I try to build, I receive an error message saying cpanminus needs to be installed. I tried all of the methods to install cpanm that were listed in the error log. What can I do to install cpanminus with my set up?

C:\Users\David\Documents\3D_Printer\Slic3r>perl Build.PL
cpanm was not found. Please install it before running this script.

There are several ways to install cpanm, try one of these:

    apt-get install cpanminus
    curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - --sudo App::cpanminus
    cpan App::cpanminus

If it is installed in a non-standard location you can do:

    CPANM=/path/to/cpanm perl Build.PL

C:\Users\David\Documents\3D_Printer\Slic3r>

I tried cpan App:cpanminus (call this method 3)

'curl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

In method 3, I noticed that it is trying to install in \c\Users\... which creates a directory called 'c' off the root of drive C: (i.e. C:\c\Users...etc.). Thus, I see a Unix/DOS naming problem.

How can I install cpanm?

cangelis commented 7 years ago

Try Strawberry Perl.

Download this: http://strawberryperl.com/download/5.24.1.1/strawberry-perl-5.24.1.1-32bit-portable.zip

Unzip it & run portableshell.bat

lordofhyphens commented 7 years ago

Original poster was using 64bit, not 32.

I suspect that the PATH variable is not set up properly.

You can extract the other archive mentioned in the wiki.

@cangelis the Slic3r perl is a version of the Strawberry perl distribution (I was the one who made the modifications).

@calesh Ensure that your PATH variable has the correct items in it

https://github.com/alexrj/Slic3r/blob/master/package/win/appveyor_preinstall.ps1 is what the build server uses to get most of the env set up right.

https://github.com/alexrj/Slic3r/blob/master/appveyor.yml is what the build server runs when it starts.

apt-get is a Debian/Ubuntu specific command (it's their package manager).

cangelis commented 7 years ago

@lordofhyphens good to know that. 👍

Btw, runningportableshell.bat instead of cmd must solve the problems.

calesh commented 7 years ago

@lordofhyphens Thank you for your prompt response.

My PATH variable and cpan configuration are attached below. Sorry, I don't know what the "correct items" in the PATH should be. The cpan utility appears to search in Unix-like paths (/usr/bin/tar) i.e. no drive letter. I think that this is incompatible with the Windows-style notation (C:\Users...). I don't understand how adding things to the PATH variable will enable cpan to work. How can I resolve this problem?
When you say "extract the other archive", which archive are you referring to?
Just to confirm, I was under the impression that I must use only your custom Slicer Perl if I am on a 64-bit machine (issue #3815) and I want the 3D Preview capability (cannot use Citrus Perl). Is this correct?

Sorry for being so dense; I'm new to GitHub and perl. Thanks for your help.

lordofhyphens commented 7 years ago

It looks like to me that your PATH is probably set up right.

You must use Slic3r Perl if you want 64-bit Slic3r.. Otherwise you can't compile Slic3r because the compiler is too old (minimum compiler is gcc 4.9 and Strawberry Perl's gcc-4.9 uses an exception model that causes application freezes).

If you are fine with 32bit Slic3r you can use the normal Strawberry Perl build.

If you set the environment variable $ARCH=64bit, rename the references to c:\users\appveyor to somewhere else, and trim out the dangerous bits from https://github.com/alexrj/Slic3r/blob/master/package/win/appveyor_preinstall.ps1 you can run it to set up your system.

these other environment variables may be of use to you.

  LDLOADLIBS: -lstdc++
  SLIC3R_STATIC: 1
  SLIC3R_VERSION: 1.3.0
  BOOST_DIR: C:\dev\boost_1_63_0
  WXDIR: C:\dev\wxwidgets
  WXSHARED: SHARED=0
  FORCE_WX_BUILD: 0
  FORCE_BOOST_REINSTALL: 0

calesh commented 6 years ago

Thank you for your help.

I have set the environment variables ARCH, FORCE_WX_BUILD, and FORCE_BOOST_REINSTALL, as they are all used in the PowerShell script which you provided.
I deleted the "dangerous bits" presumably the "rm" commands near line 32.
I changed the references to c:\users\appveyor to a new work directory which I created. I also had to specify an absolute path to the "7z" utility as it was not in the current PATH.

The PS script is failing around line 57 with the call to "cpanm". This leaves me with the same obstacle of needing cpanminus to complete the installation of the build environment.

My understanding is that Slic3r Perl does not come packaged with cpanminus.

What else do I need to do to install cpanminus?

Here is my modified PS script: appveyor_preinstall.ps1.txt

Here is the log file when trying to run that script. Slic3r_cpanminus_GitHub_3_20171010_log.txt

This is my path within PowerShell: mypath.txt

mikko70 commented 6 years ago

You need copy dmake in C:\wperl64\bin http://search.cpan.org/~pczerkas/dmake-4.12-cvs-20090821-PCZERKAS/

if you run files as administrator, install happen.

N4rki commented 6 years ago

I have the exact same issue, tried all those things but still couldn't get it to work. @calesh Did you find a solution in the meantime?

I get this this error with all methods: "Loading internal null logger.

Any other suggestions? And how CAN I build it manually? Buildung tar.gz files on Windows is new to me. All help is much appreciated.

calesh commented 6 years ago

@N4rki No, I have not yet found a solution. (I have not yet tried the suggestion from mikko70 on 2017 Nov 15.)

@mikko70 Thanks for your suggestion. I have been away from this project and have not tried yet.

lordofhyphens commented 6 years ago

@calesh by the way Strawberry Perl 5.26 shouldn't have the exception bug, but I haven't tried building on that yet.

Building cpanm manually would involve downloading it (see source link at http://search.cpan.org/~miyagawa/App-cpanminus-1.7043/lib/App/cpanminus.pm), extracting it to a directory, and then running perl Makefile.PL.

That should detect your system and generate an appropriate makefile.

You'd then either run mingw-32-make or dmake (depending on which is available) with the "install" target.

robbycandra commented 6 years ago

I use Strawberry Perl 5.24 32 bit and meet same problem.

FInally. I can build it using @cangelis workaround.

When I run "perl Build.PL" i have another problem

Installing ./xs failed.

issue 1690

But after running

perl -MCPAN -e shell
CPAN> o conf make /usr/bin/make

and re run perl Build.PL, everything is OK now.
