Hello,
I'm looking for some help, I've been struggling along for a while trying to get the Perl MQSeries package installed on Windows XP. I've been reading the info on here regarding previous issues and have got through to the point where the nmake seems to be working. The nmake test is now failing and I'm at a bit of a loss.
The results I'm seeing are:-
C:\Perl\MQSeries-1.23>nmake test TEST_VERBOSE=1
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 8.00.50727.42

I've installed ActivePerl version 5.8.7.813
The MQ series package version is 1.23
I'm running Windows XP Prof SP2
I've installed Microsoft Platform SDK for W2003 and
Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition
Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers

Skip the tests.
Try nmake install and see what happens.

Hello Jeff.
I got a popup window saying
perl.exe - Unable to Locate Component
This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix the problem
and then the following in the command window
C:\Documents and Settings\Otisfly\My Documents\Perl\Code>perl inquireq.pl WEB_O
UT WBRK_QM
Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/MQServer/MQSeries/MQSeries.dll' for module MQS
erver::MQSeries: load_file:The specified module could not be found at C:/Perl/li
b/DynaLoader.pm line 230.
at C:/Perl/site/lib/MQSeries.pm line 77
Compilation failed in require at C:/Perl/site/lib/MQSeries.pm line 77.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Perl/site/lib/MQSeries.pm line 89.
Compilation failed in require at inquireq.pl line 19.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at inquireq.pl line 19.
Earlier, I was having problems with the nmake, getting an error saying that the entry point could not be found in MSVCR80.dll. I checked on the Microsoft website to check what the problem was and apparently there is a nmake.exe with the SDK which is not the correct one and one with Visual C++ which is the correct one. Anyway, I changed my environment variables accordingly and the nmake completed. I then reinstalled perl and the MQ series Package and re-ran makefile.pl and nmake, and this seemed to work... and I thus moved onto the nmake test... which failed.
I guess there is still a problem with the nmake, but I'm not sure how to see where the problem is.
Any ideas?
Many Thanks
Otis |

Well.
There's a note in the ActivePerl documentation about MSVCRT.DLL, but that doesn't apply to Windows XP.
This is what I did, and I didn't have any problems.
Maybe you don't have the compiler environment fully installed or your paths and include and libs properly set up or properly on the command line when you are trying to build the module.
Also your path "C:\Perl\MQSeries-1.23\" looks pretty bad. I woudln't have extracted the module there...
Try opening up a command shell that includes your C compiler enviornment variables, and then use CPAN to fetch the module. CPAN does work on Windows. Just type "cpan", and then once you've gone through the configuration process (if necessary), type "install MQSeries".
That will redownload the module, unpack it properly, and put it in a location probably like .cpan/build/MQSeries-1.23/...

Just for Info,
Looks like my problems were caused by the fact that I was using visual c++ 2005. I'm not a c/c++ programmer, but having dug around, apparently microsoft have made changes regarding the msvcrt.dll file=>
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/abx4dbyh.aspx
This basically meant that whenever the mq package was invoked it bombed out.
The solution I found was to compile and link to the multithreaded static link library libcmt.lib, rather than msvcrt.lib.
Having run the makefile step, I changed all references of msvcrt to libcmt and changed the compile options from -MD to -MT in all of the generated makefiles. I ran the nmake, nmake test and install steps without a problem. Tested with inquireq.pl which worked fine.
Another solution (I think) would have been to get a version of msvcrt.lib from before microsoft introduced the new msvcrt80.dll.
The easiest solution would have been to install visual c++ 6! |
