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. -- Chris Nighswonger Faculty Member Network & Systems Director Foundations Bible College & Seminary www.foundations.edu www.fbcradio.org
Update: The remaining perl module count is down to ~3. I was able to successfully install XML::Dumper and XML::RSS tonight.

Sorry for the repeated posts... Down to 2 now: XML::LibXSLT DBD::mysql alone remain. On Jan 23, 2008 9:53 PM, Chris Nighswonger <cnighswonger@foundations.edu> wrote:

Update: DBD::mysql is installed (see wiki page for details on how) only XML::LibXSLT remains and is the most difficult challenge afaics... any help will be greatly appriciated. Regards, Chris On Jan 23, 2008 10:08 PM, Chris Nighswonger <cnighswonger@foundations.edu> wrote:
