"make pbc_to_c" fails

[Ovid]

I'm having trouble with the initial Configure.pl and with the pbc_to_c
target on my Intel Macbook. I have rough notes below about the steps
I've taken. If anyone needs more information, just ask and I'd be
happy to send anything I can.

Following the instructions in chromatic's post at use.perl about
building a Perl 6 binary:

http://use.perl.org/article.pl?sid=07/12/30/0912211

I got this error on the latest version from svn:

parrot $ perl Configure.pl
Base class package "Parrot::Configure::Compiler" is empty.
(Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package
first.)
at lib/Parrot/Configure.pm line 44

chromatic recommended that I check out r24278, which I did with a clean
install (blew everything away and started over), and I tried again.
Here's a summary:

Checked out revision 24278.
code $ cd parrot/

without everything here. Please try to find the above
files and then try running Configure again.

I have the same problem, on an Intel Macbook and Ubuntu i686. The file
lib/Parrot/Configure/Compiler.pm was apparently not merged correctly
from the explicitconf branch (r24294).

Configure.pl kept running yet the message implies that it can't. Is
assume this is a bug? If so, it seems that
&Parrot::Configure::runsteps should include init::manifest in
%steps_to_die_for, regardless of options passed in.

Ovid et al.: I apologize for the confusion. Barney diagnosed the
problem and corrected it in r24298 and r24303. I had failed to copy
lib/Parrot/Configure/Compiler.pm from branch to trunk. Lacking that,
nothing else made sense.

If you do an 'svn update', you should get a correct distribution. I
have successfully configured on i386-linux and am now doing so on
ppc-darwin.

Although it is not required for running chromatic's process, you might
wish to begin with:

perl Configure.pl --test

... to see that the configuration and build tools all work properly
before you say 'make'.

The tests were renumbered subsequent to 24278.

Since configuration did not complete successfully, there was no way that
any 'make' target could be run.

I haven't tried this new thing; will have to do so myself.

Thanks for that tip. I assume from other comments that you've made
that if there are Configure test failures, that trying to continue is
useless.

svn co https://svn.perl.org/parrot/trunk parrot \
&& cd parrot \
&& perl Configure.pl --test

4/1089 tests failed. Test below. As usual, if there is anything else
I can do, please let me know.

Try a 'make realclean' and then re-run the above commands.
