Details:

= Loosing LocalData with uninstalled version =

Currently to run texi2any on MSWindows I am using an ``uninstalled'' SVN
version. That is to say I have a wrapper that just calls the texi2any
script from the SVN work area using the activestate perl.

FYI, the source of this wrapper is attached as makeinfo-dos.cpp.

Please note that I need the activestate perl because if I use the MSYS
perl in the wrapper, then I get the following error message when
compiling latex2e-fr.texi from latexrefman GNA! project:


Use of uninitialized value in lc at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8/utf8_heavy.pl line
123.


Now the problem I have is that using this non-installed version lacks
the LocalData. The implication is that compiling latex2e-fr.texi from
latexrefman GNA! project this way will make ``Table of contents''
instead of ``Table des matières''.

Please note that lacking the LocalData is is true whether I use the
activestate of the MSYS perl with my wrapper, the root cause seems that
I am using an uninstalled version.

Please also note that I get this error message on any compilation:


Locales dir for document strings not found
(C:\Programmes\installation\texinfo-install\trunk\tp\LocaleData LocaleData
..\..\..\tp\LocaleData ..\..\tp\LocaleData)


Here is the command line which I use:


C:\Programmes\Perl64\bin\perl.exe
-IC:/Programmes/installation/texinfo-install/trunk/tp/maintain/lib/libintl-perl/sample/simplecal/lib/LocaleData
-IC:/Programmes/installation/texinfo-install/trunk/tp/maintain/lib/libintl-perl/tests/LocaleData
c:\Programmes\installation\texinfo-install\trunk\tp\texi2any.pl
"c:/Nos_Programmes/MinGW/local/projects/latexrefman/latexrefman/latex2e-fr.texi"
-o "c:/Nos_Programmes/MinGW/msys/share/info/latex2e-fr.info"



= Unable to install texi2any =

So, why using an ``uninstalled'' version. Well, the thing is that trying
as much as I could, I never could install texi2any.

When trying to install texi2any on MSWindows with MSYS and with MSYS
configured to use the MSYS perl (eg by having the fstab file having /perl
directory pointing that the MSYS perl), then I get the following error
message:


WARNING: BUILD_REQUIRES is not a known parameter.
'BUILD_REQUIRES' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.
ERROR from evaluation of
/c/Programmes/installation/texinfo-install/trunk/tp/Texinfo/Convert/XSParagraph/Makefile.PL:
Perl v5.18.1 required--this is only v5.8.8, stopped at ./Makefile.PL line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./Makefile.PL line 1.



Now, if I change the MSYS fstab file so that the perl is activestate
perl, then installation of texi2any will make this error:


ERROR from evaluation of
C:\Programmes\installation\texinfo-install\trunk\tp\Texinfo\Convert\XSParagraph/Makefile.PL:
Could not open 'XSParagraph.pm': No such file or directory at
c:/Programmes/Perl64/lib/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm line 2781, <$fh> line 90.


Please note that configure was called as follows:


./configure --disable-perl-xs


Please note also that automake utility does not work when activestate
perl is used instead of MSYS perl, I get this error:


Can't locate Automake/Config.pm in @INC (you may need to install the
Automake::Config module) (@INC contains: /usr/local/share/automake-1.15
c:/Programmes/Perl64/site/lib c:/Programmes/Perl64/lib .) at
c:/Nos_Programmes/MinGW/local/bin/automake line 48.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
c:/Nos_Programmes/MinGW/local/bin/automake line 48.


I have tried to hack this by giving the MSWindows path of automake to
activestate perl, ie I did:


export PERL5LIB=c:/Nos_Programmes/MinGW/local/share/automake-1.15


and then I tried automake again, and here is the error it makes (well it
is not really surprising that the MSYS automake does not work with
activestate...):
