Install problems on Windows 10

[maximusfox]

Hi. I try to install your module using cpanminus, but have an error.
Is it posible to fix?

I am guessing it is crashing somewhere here:

https://github.com/Perl5-FFI/FFI-Platypus-Lang-Go/blob/master/inc/mymm-build.pl#L93-L99

Because if it was a compile error it should print the appropriate diagnostic. It looks like Perl and go have the same arch (amd64). I think a Go uintptr should be the same as a C size_t?

My Go version:
go version go1.14.3 windows/amd64
My Perl version:
This is perl 5, version 28, subversion 0 (v5.28.0) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread
As i am anderstand both have amd64 arch.

I am add debug print to inc/mymm-build.pl using Data::Dumper module:
print Dumper(\%types);
Then i am try to run gmake manualy, and have this error againe:

λ gmake

Interesting. I was able to get to my windows box this morning and reproduce this error. It seems to be creating the config.pl needed for runtime correctly, but something in unwinding the simple.so file is going sideways.

As a workaround you can add || (exit 0) to the call to inc/mymm-build.pl to get make to ignore the error. You can adjust the Makefile.PL like this:

    $postamble .=
      "pure_all :: mymm-build\n" .
      "mymm-build :\n" .
      "\t\$(FULLPERL) inc/mymm-build.pl || (exit 0)\n\n";

obviously this is a bug somewhere, so I'd like to figure out why it is exiting with an error.

[maximusfox]

I am adjust Makefile.PL like you say.
Then do this:

gmake
gmake test
gmake install

And module successfuly installed.
I think cpanm --force FFI::Platypus::Lang::Go should work fine too.
