Re^4: Errors While Installing Image::Magick

[syphilis]

But I wonder if there's a compiler switch (maybe -std=c++11) that would fix that for you.

Not that I can find.
Having upgraded the ImageMagick executable from release 19 to release 28, I hit the same issue.
To fix, I did a cd to the .cpan build directory and started by removing the failed cpan -fi Image::Magick attempt:

C:\> cd \Users\Owner\.cpan\build\Image-Magick-7.1.1-18
then
C:\Users\Owner\.cpan\build\Image-Magick-7.1.1-18>gmake realclean
then
C:\Users\Owner\.cpan\build\Image-Magick-7.1.1-18>perl Makefile.PL CC=g
+++
then
C:\Users\Owner\.cpan\build\Image-Magick-7.1.1-18>gmake test
then
C:\Users\Owner\.cpan\build\Image-Magick-7.1.1-18>gmake install

That worked fine for me, though the single test still failed:

t/blob.t .......... ok
t/composite.t ..... ok
t/filter.t ........ Failed 1/58 subtests
t/getattribute.t .. ok
t/montage.t ....... ok
t/ping.t .......... ok
t/read.t .......... ok
t/setattribute.t .. ok
t/write.t ......... ok

Test Summary Report
-------------------
t/filter.t      (Wstat: 0 Tests: 58 Failed: 1)
  Failed test:  2
Files=9, Tests=273,  1 wallclock secs ( 0.01 usr +  0.00 sys =  0.01 C
+PU)
Result: FAIL
Failed 1/9 test programs. 1/273 subtests failed.
gmake: *** [makefile:1048: test_dynamic] Error 255

Update: Looks like that one test fails for me because the font "Generic.ttf" can't be found:

Annotate(text=>'Magick',geometry=>'+0+20',font=>'Generic.ttf',fill=>'g
+old',gravity=>'North',pointsize=>14) ...
  Annotate (text=>'Magick',geometry=>'+0+20',font=>'Generic.ttf',fill=
+>'gold',gravity=>'North',pointsize=>14):
  Exception 305: unable to read font `Generic.ttf' @ warning/annotate.
+c/RenderType/1024
not ok 2

Update 2: In the previous versions of Image::Magick that I've built, "Generic.tiff" has been provided in both the "demo" and the "t" folders - though the MANIFEST file listed only "demo/Generic.tiff"..
Now, however, "Generic.tiff" is to be found only in the "demo" folder.
Copying "demo/Generic.tiff" to "t/Generic.tiff" allows all tests to pass.

Cheers,

Thanks for the helpful suggestions syphilis. Here is a summary of the latest things I have tried, per your suggestions. I still haven't been able isolate the source of "ccflags".

I'm closer, thanks to you, but still no cigar. :-)

Update: I believe the basic question comes down to whether the gcc compiler in Strawberry Perl 5.24.1 is capable of compiling the code for Image::Magick, and if not, is there a viable alternative that does not involve upgrading to a more recent version of Perl? For now, I must remain at 5.24.1 for a number of reasons.


I did the "Clean and rerun install" -- got the following errors with gmake test:

I tried editing the following files and found this:
----------------------------------------------------------
C:\Strawberry\perl\lib\Config.pm -- No "ccflags" entries in this file.
C:\Strawberry\perl\lib\Config_heavy.pl -- I found: cc='$cc', ccflags ='$ccflags', but $ccflags is set somewhere else (this is the only reference).


I ran the following to display the contents of $Config{ccflags}:

I fixed the missing "Generic.tiff" file:

fileparse(): need a valid pathname at C:/Strawberry/perl/site/lib/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 1187.

I've installed SP-5.24.1.1 - same version as yours, but I can't reproduce the problem.
I've grabbed the "portable" version, not the "msi installer" - but that should make no difference.
I do see the "scoped enums only available with -std=c++11 or -std=gnu++11" warning, but the build succeeds anyway.

So I think we're looking at a problem with ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
What version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker do you have ?
Strawberry 5.24.1 shipped with version 7.24, and that's the version I've used.
On Strawberry 5.24.4 (which I already had), version 7.34 is installed - and there was no problem with it, either.

Also, what does line 1187 of Install.pm state ? (We might be able to fix your issue by patching that file.)

Update:
C:\Strawberry\perl\lib\Config.pm -- No "ccflags" entries in this file.
C:\Strawberry\perl\lib\Config_heavy.pl -- I found: cc='$cc', ccflags ='$ccflags', but $ccflags is set somewhere else (this is the only reference).

Sorry - skimmed past that.
Yes - wrt altering of $Config{ccflags}, it's only Config_heavy.pl that needs patching.
If you keep searching further through that file you'll come to the line that needs to be altered. Search for ccflags=
I think you can also temporarily override ccflags the same way as I did for cc:

perl Makefile.PL CC=g++ CCFLAGS="full space-delimited list of all the 
+flags that you want"

Cheers,
Rob

• I have ExtUtils::MakeMaker (version 7.24).

• The temporary override "perl Makefile.PL CC=g++" works ok.

• I researched the error message "fileparse(): need a valid pathname" at line 1187 and found that it is issued by module "File::Basename qw(dirname)".

  This is as far as I've gotten trying to track down the source of the error in C:\Strawberry\perl\site\lib\ExtUtils\Install.pm.

  7 use File::Basename qw(dirname);
  1165 while(my($from, $to) = each %$fromto) {
  1187 my $dirname = dirname($to);

  It appears the "$to" variable in line 1187 which comes from the "%$fromto" hash in line 1165 is empty, but I feel like I'm on the verge of descending into a rabbit hole here. :-)
