Install fails on windows #4
Comments
Appears to be a precompilation failure of some sort? The key lines seem to be:
I'm not sure how to diagnose this on Windows ... any ideas? |
I'm pretty sure that's the long paths issue again. Note that |
Oh for pity's sake ... thanks @patrickbkr ! @coke Can you try doing the install with a Rakudo built from Moar HEAD? |
No, because I cannot build rakudo on windows at the moment due to other issues, I'm using a prebuilt rakubrew. - @patrickbkr can you? (or if there is a prebuilt one that matches, tell me how to get to it?) |
I can. Maybe I can give it a shot tonight. |

Installs successfully for me on latest main. (Actually before that fix I was barely able to install any distribution without disabling the tests.) |
Glad to hear it's working now, @patrickbkr . What version range of Rakudo was affected by this problem? |
I think it's never not been an issue. Maybe there have been supporting factors that worsened the effect. But nothing comes to mind that could have caused such a worsening (i.e. something that caused filepaths to become longer in general.) It's going to be fixed in 2024.12. |
@patrickbkr OK, gotcha. FWIW, Back In The Day ™️ Jonathan did his development on a Windows box, and I remember a few years ago having some of my modules do CI on Windows (though I haven't in years), so at some point it all worked there. Clearly some change in precomp or in Windows default path locations broke it at some point (I mention the latter since you found a path just over 256 characters, but it's a path Windows didn't use back in the previous century). |
The good old days... (Sigh) I do hope we'll be able to get back to the glory of old again. I am actually working on getting Rakudo on Windows back in shape. In the beginning I only wanted to get the PTY implementation I'm working on ported to Windows, then noticed more patches were needed in the |
Clearly @patrickbkr you are a gentleman and a scholar. 😉 |
@coke I believe this issue is fixed in 2025.01. Can you verify and close this issue? |
No error using raku 2025.01, powershell, same module version. |
