Win XP problems
Christian Lott
In the new POW version of Parrot there is no Configure.pl so I can't
compile. Since all I get are "Can't find MSVC" errors I can't follow
Leo's advice on CPAN.
Nmake has done nothing for me either on the CVS tar.zip I attempted to make.
As you can see, I'm not a Unix guy. I'd love to experiment with Parrot
though since I love assembly language.
I'm pretty competent reporting errors but I've never been able to get
this to work (about 4 months ago).
If someone could walk me through this it'd be great. I've searched for
quite some time and am very tired of trying a bunch of things that I
can't get to work.
Help,
Christian Lott

What's the POW version of Parrot? This some source for parrot which isn't
cvs.perl.org, or a release on CPAN?

but that seems to have precompiled for windows parrot binaries
with no source.
The website mentions Jonathan Worthington as the maintainer.

The most important thing you need to do is use the .NET command line,
rather than the regular cmd.exe shell. The .NET shell sets up all the
environment variables needed to do a compile of Parrot.

"Do you hvae msvc (cl.exe) in the path?"
No. I thought I did but looks like I don't...
It's at c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ 2003\bin\cl.exe
How would I set the path without overwriting my previous settings?
set PATH=%PATH%;c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual C++ 2003\bin\
"Possily he means http://www.jwcs.net/developers/perl/pow/ but that

Yes. That's the one.

What's that?
You mean the MSVC prompt?

OK. Path set.
Now what?

Assuming you got the full source, follow the instructions in README.win32.
(I hope we are not still talking about the POW stuff...)

I think the problem is that imc.vim.in needs to go through ops2vim.
C:\parrot\editor>perl ops2vim.pl imc.vim.in imc.vim
Can't open imc.vim: No such file or directory at ops2vim.pl line 8, <>
line 85.
syn keyword imcOp
C:\parrot\editor>perl ops2vim.pl imc.vim imc.vim.in
Can't open imc.vim: No such file or directory at ops2vim.pl line 7.
syn keyword imcOp
C:\parrot\editor>perl ops2vim.pl imc.vim.in
syn keyword imcOp
This is in the .NET window (MSVC).
I'm placing these files into the /vimfiles directory which is adjacent
to the vim63 directory both of which are under the VIM directory.

So this is what I get:
--
[x] This application has failed to start because MSVCRTD.dll was not
found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Ok. Just downloaded it at -
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcrtd
placed it in the MSVC \bin directory and typed "perl t\harness"
At the end this is what I got:

Sound right?
Thanks Johnathan.
I get frustrated and side tracked really easy when I have no idea what
I'm doing. My fault.

From editor/Makefile:
imc.vim: imc.vim.in ../ops/*.ops
cp -f imc.vim.in imc.vim
perl ops2vim.pl ../ops/*.ops >> imc.vim
so basically you want to feed all the 'ops' files into ops2vim.pl and then
tack the output onto the end of imc.vim.in to make imc.vim.
There are a bunch of other editor-relevant files there, check
editor/README.pod for info; just replace ~/.vim with wherever\vimfiles, and
~/.vimrc with wherever\_vimrc.
Cheers

The only ops directory I have is under the docs directory. I assume
ops2vim will parse it:
#! perl -w
my $cline = my $prefix = 'syn keyword imcOp';
my %seen;
while (<>) {
if (/\bop \s+ (\w+) \s* \(/x) {
next if $seen{$1}++;
if (length($1) + length($cline) > 72) {
print "$cline\n";
$cline = $prefix;
}
$cline .= " $1";
}
}
print "$cline\n";
---
Would I be better served on the Active State Command Line Interpreter or
stick to the .NET prompt?

No. It's in the sources.
