Re: Strawberry Perl PDQ Install

[Paul Puglia]

You’re not using the perl source distribution.  Download that tarball from here,http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdq-qnm-pkg/files/PDQ-PERL%20Source/6.1.1/pdq-6.1.1.tar.gz/download, and, then, follow the instructions on the website.    This tarball compiles fine on Windows 7 and 8 with the latest version of strawberry Perl.

I wanted to keep it simple so I opted for the Strawberry Perl PDQ installation.  I downloaded Strawberry Perl then loaded it on my windows 7 64-bit laptop.  It installed without issue.  I then downloaded and unpacked PDQ.  I believe it did that without issue as well.  However, when I open a cmd window and start the makefile process, Here is what I get:

 C:\Users\Dad\PDQ-6\pdq\pdq-6.1.1\perl5>perl makefile.pl

If I missed something, please let me know.  Why would these files be missing? 

Thanks

Paul,

I am not exactly sure what is going on but I am absoukutely sure I downloaded the Perl source distribution you provide the link for.  There may be a path statement not working correctly or maybe I am executing in the wrong directory.  I open the cmd window, get over to the pdq-6.1.1 directory and enter 'perl makefile.pl'   at which point I get "Can't open perl script "makefile.pl".  No such file or directory".  It is when I get to a directory having makefile.pl  that I get the results mentioned earlier. I find makefile.pl only in the perl5 directory (sub to perl-6.1.1).

Thanks for any support on what to do next here.

Stephen,

               If the directory created as a results of un-taring the tar.gz has a sub-directory called “perl5” in it, you’re downloading the wrong source tar.  You should be seeing the following if you’ve un-tared the right one:

 

pdq-6.1.1:

./

../

debug.h*

Makefile.old

Makefile.PL*

MANIFEST

MANIFEST.SKIP

META.yml

MVA_Approx.c*

MVA_Canon.c*

MVA_Solve.c*

PDQ_Build.c

PDQ_Exact.c*

PDQ_Global.h

PDQ_Globals.c

PDQ_Lib.h

PDQ_MServer.c

pdq.pm*

PDQ_Report.c

PDQ_Utils.c

pdq_wrap.c

q

README

test.pl*

 

Finding anything other than the above contents about means you’re probably grabbing and unpacking the full distribution, and my instructions for Strawberry Perl won’t work.

 

If the link I sent you isn’t working, then you can grab the Perl distribution manually from Sourceforge by doing the following:

 

1.       Go tohttp://sourceforge.net/projects/pdq-qnm-pkg/

2.       Click on “Files”

3.       Click on the “PDQ-Perl Source” folder

4.       Click on the “6.1.1” folder

5.       Click on  “pdq-6.1.1.tar.gz”

 

This definitely gets you the right tarball.

Paul,

I must have installed the file incorrectly.  The second download (same file) works fine.  Thanks for your help.
