CPAN installation failed

[naltun]

The exit code was 1 and the last error message was:

make: *** No rule to make target 'script/Executioner.pl', needed by 'blib/script/Executioner.pl'.  Stop.
  SAIFTYNET/GUIDeFATE-0.05.tar.gz
  /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK

[saiftynet]

Should probably get rid of Executioner.pl. Just an application to launch other apps for user to test install has worked. Will remove it.

[saiftynet]

I have removed the example scripts and uploaded v0.052 (which now therefore much smaller) . Had uploaded version 0.051 which contained a Makefile.PL error, quickly followed by 0.052 which hoepfully fixed it. The example scripts are at the GUIDeFATE master , and can be used to develop other scripts or test the install.

[naltun]

Installation was successful when installing as root but failed with the same errors when installed as my normal user. I may have to re-setup CPAN configs. I'll have to test if the GUIDeFATE works.

[naltun]

When running Example/rpsls.pl as both normal and root:

Can't locate GUIDeFATE.pm in @INC (you may need to install the GUIDeFATE module) (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.26/site_perl /usr/share/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.26/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.26/core_perl /usr/share/perl5/core_perl) at rpsls.pl line 7.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at rpsls.pl line 7.

[saiftynet]

Thanks for feedback. Do you have Wx and Wx::Perl::Imagick installed?
Does GUIDeFATE work if in a local lib folder?

[saiftynet]

Looks like this is still version 0.05 on CPAN...please wait a bit longer for the updates to appear on the system. v0.052 is the latest.

[saiftynet]

Have created a archive of the module and some test scripts to test before installation for version 0.06 (will do this from now onwards). There Have been some API changes. This now supports Tk as well as Wx

This part looks interesting to me:

[saiftynet]

Hi Noah. IMagick:--That is because the makefile specifies the path in Windows format...edit it to use forward slashes (Unix/linux) instead of backward slashes (windows).

Shouldn't have Executioner.pl in the makefile...sorry will check again tonight

[saiftynet]

Really sorry about the difficulties with installation...The Executioner.pl crept back into my Makefile.PL. This has again been removed.

[naltun]

No problem Saif, I am happy to help troubleshoot issues. I'll try installing the module tomorrow, and I'll report back with the result.

Hmmm... I haven't used Perl much so I'll have to tinker.

[saiftynet]

Hi Noah, to install Wx::Perl::Imagick, in Unix | Linux | (Macs)? download the archive from (MetaCPAN)[https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/J/JO/JOUKE/Wx-Perl-Imagick-0.02.tar.gz] etxract it and edit the Makefile.PL so that back slashes are forward slashes. Then in that folder run

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test 
make install

[saiftynet]

If you do finally get to install v 0.062, then note the scripts related to old versions may not work (not sure how syncing works in github)
