Update: The remaining perl module count is down to ~3. I was able to successfully install XML::Dumper and XML::RSS tonight. For details see the following wiki page: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:installation:win32:koha_3_win32_installe...

Hi all, Some time back in December I started toying with installing Koha 3 on Windows XP using the Koha installer and Strawberry Perl 5.8.8. Several have asked about it so here is the latest. The attached Open Office document gives more grueling details. I made some modifications to Makefile.PL to detect the Win32 platform and went to work installing the required Perl modules. The larger part of them installed fine via cpan, but a half dozen or so did not. With Galen Charlton's help, I have made some progress. There are five (six w/Schedule::AT) modules which are yet to be compiled/installed on Win32 using Strawberry (versions may be bad due to an old copy of Makefile.PL):
[Wed Jan 23 06:58:50 2008] Makefile.PL: Warning: prerequisite DBD::mysql 3.0008 not found. [Wed Jan 23 06:58:56 2008] Makefile.PL: Warning: prerequisite MARC::File::XML 0.88 not found. [Wed Jan 23 06:59:11 2008] Makefile.PL: Warning: prerequisite XML::Dumper 0.81 not found. [Wed Jan 23 06:59:11 2008] Makefile.PL: Warning: prerequisite XML::LibXSLT 1.63 not found. [Wed Jan 23 06:59:11 2008] Makefile.PL: Warning: prerequisite XML::RSS 1.31 not found.
I *think* that XML::Dumper and XML::RSS will install once XML::LibXSLT is installed.
Zebra remains to be installed and tested.
The attachements to this email include:
1. A document detailing what I have accomplished so far. 2. Two files references in the document.
This is very much a side project for me as I really have no interest in running Koha 3 on Win32 except to say I did it. :-) Any help would be greatly appriciated. Maybe someone out there with a lot of C++ experience can get libxslt working as this is the real blocker right now. Comments and criticisms welcome.
Regards, Chris
PS. I plan on adding the included summary to the wiki so that anyone can update it as work progresses.
