Problems installing inline-java package for perl

I am trying to install active perl and inline-java as per the steps mentioned in http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/DSS_from_Perl.

But the link that the wiki shows for inline-java does not work and tried even other repositories to get the ppd package of inline-java.

Can anybody provide their inputs on how to install inline-java on windows machine either through perl package manger (activePerl version 5.10.*) or via compilation.

I have tried compiling the inline-java module using nmake on windows but no luck.

It throws the following error

Can't find string terminator "}" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe' : return code '0xff'
Stop.

Any instructions on how to install the inline-java would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance,

Murali.

  • If the command line install is failing, try running the ppm GUI.

    Go to 'Edit->Preferences->Repositories' and add the path to the repository:

    Then you should see the Inline-Java package available:

  • Hi,

    My problem is when i try to download using PPM manager it gave a message  

    Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist ... failed 500 Can't connect to ppm4.activestate.com:80 (Bad hostname)

    when i tied to do the above mentioned step , there is a similar error message

    Downloading UWIN packlist ... failed 500 Can't connect to cpan.uwinnipeg.ca:80 (Bad hostname)

    I am not sure on what is the exact issue .

    Do some one having some idea ?

    Thanks in advance

  • Hi sasi,

    It could just be an issue of the server being down. You can try downloading the whole package manually and install it offline.

    Thanks

  • thanks ki,

    But when i tried to run the downloaded version and install using

    ppm install inline_java12\inline_java the error is  

    ppm install failed : The ppd does not provide code to install for the platform
