Re^3: IO::Pty with Cygwin - can't install

[azredwing]

Actually, no worries. I just installed manually instead of from the command line and skipped the make test. I ran my script that uses IO::Pty on Cygwin and it works perfectly. Not sure why it couldn't do make test.

Cygwin can be a bit funny about what it lets you do from certain locations. Maybe this is just one of its quirks.

Good that it's working for you.

A better option for this particular case would be to install by running:

cpan -T IO::Tty

The -T switch ensures that the tests are not run.
Not sure if that was an option back in 2010.

To install manually:
1) Download http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/T/TO/TODDR/IO-Tty-1.12.tar.gz (or http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/T/TO/TODDR/IO-Tty-1.13_01.tar.gz if you want to install the development version).
2) Run tar zxvf IO-Tty-1.12.tar.gz
3) cd to the IO-Tty-1.12 folder
4) Run perl Makefile.PL
5) Run  make test
6) Run  make install

You can skip step 5 (not recommended) - which is what azredwing did, as that process was hanging.
