Incorrect? behavior of native dependencies

antoniogamiz commented 4 years ago

Context

I have described this issue here. I am trying to specify native dependencies for Documentable (node, perl, etc).

Expected Behavior

zef should be able to recognize these dependencies (because they are indeed installed)

Actual Behavior

zef install . fails due to unmet dependencies.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a simple module and add

  "depends": [
    "node:from<native>",
    "perl:from<native>",
  ],

to the META6.json file.

Your Environment

perl6 -v

This is Rakudo version 2020.06 built on MoarVM version 2020.06
implementing Raku 6.d.

zef list --installed

Does Documentable really need a libnode.so? Is there even such a thing? I can understand zef not finding libperl.so, as that's usually installed into a non-standard location. Or did you actually mean "node:from<bin>"? It's possible, that zef doesn't understand this stringified form yet. But then it does support {"name": "node", "from": "bin"}

Oh, I think bin is the solution. I will try it and comment.

Yep, it was that. Thanks a lot, docs does not cover these arguments well enough I think...
