YAML::Parser::LibYAML

[AlexDaniel]

Module YAML::Parser::LibYAML is failing its tests and/or does not install.

• Please close this issue only if the module passes its tests and is installable. One way to test it is to run zef install MODULENAME.
• If you can install the module without any problems, label this ticket with works for me and close the issue.
• If it needs a native library, put native dependency label, describe what you did to install it and ensure that same instructions are present in the README file of the module (otherwise submit a pull request). If everything is green you can close the issue.
• If the module is broken, try to fix it and send a PR. Add PR sent label and close the issue.
• If there is a problem in one of the dependencies, add failing dependency label and write a comment explaining the situation. Leave this ticket open and feel free to work on the corresponding ticket for the failing dependency.
• It is a good idea to assign yourself to this ticket if you're working on it (to make sure two or more people are not working on the same ticket at the same time).

If you can't self-assign, attach a label, or close the ticket, please let us know on #perl6 channel on freenode or just leave a comment here. We will try to give you privileges as fast as possible.

It's failing because it needs an additional zef install . step, which is not normally needed. Added to the instructions, but the module is basically OK. PR: /tony-o/perl6-libyaml#3

Module is failing its install for me. I am on the latest Kubuntu. Error message is as follows:

$ src/build.sh
gcc: error: libyaml_wrap.c: No such file or directory
gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
gcc: error: libyaml_wrap.o: No such file or directory
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-W1,-soname,libyaml_wrap.so.1’
If you're running locally you may need to add this dir to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  to do that, run: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/cbwood/Projects/unbitrot/perl6-libyaml"

The problem here is that the file to be compiled is called "yamlwrap.c", not "libyaml_wrap.c" as referenced in src/build.sh:

gcc -c -fPIC libyaml_wrap.c -o libyaml_wrap.o

Also, this line fails on Debian systems:

gcc -shared -W1,-soname,libyaml_wrap.so.1 -lyaml -o libyaml_wrap.so.1.0.0 libyaml_wrap.o
