Install Sqitch Perl CPAN module on Windows


I'm trying to install sqitch on Windows 10 after installing it with CPAN using latest Strawberry Perl.

cat NEWS >ReleaseNotes
'cat' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
dmake.exe:  Error code 129, while making 'ReleaseNotes'
GUIDO/libintl-perl-1.26.tar.gz
C:\Projects\STRAWB~1\c\bin\dmake.exe -- NOT OK
Stopping: 'install' failed for 'Locale::Messages'.

Unfortunately dependency Locale::Messages fails to install. Is it trying to invoke linux "cat" command on Windows? Is there a workaround?


Solution

  • I have just installed App::Sqitch on my copy of Strawberry Perl

    It has created this file

    C:\Strawberry\perl\site\bin\sqitch.bat
    

    If you don't have that file then it sounds like your installation didn't work properly

    If you do have that file, but you cannot run it without providing the full path, then C:\Strawberry\perl\site\bin isn't in your PATH
