Fail to install ABI
Closed this issue · 3 comments
Note that I can also notice the same issue using App::cpanminus reported as miyagawa/cpanminus#609
I'm not sure how to enable some extra debug output from cpm.
It seems that installing ABI using the -g option does not install the ABI.pm file
when installing it locally we can see that only one install.json is processed...
╰─> cpm --version

Installing locally shows that there is no ABI.pm installed

When running the traditional perl Makefile.PL && make && make install invocation it seems to do the right job

https://metacpan.org/release/ABI has both Build.PL and Makefile.PL.
cpm (and also cpanm) prefers Build.PL.
It seems that Build.PL in ABI is "broken".

thanks for your feedback, that explains the issue and this seems an ABI bug
I'm going to report it to ABI and we can probably close this case here
thanks
I reported it there https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=132409
but I doubt that any action is going to be taken regarding the fact that the last module upload was a few years old...
