Re: Camelbox: A build of Gtk2-Perl for Windows

I got four instances of errors being reported whilst decompressing .lzma files., but as it deletes them afterwards, its not possible to check whether they were completely unpacked or not without downloading the files again.

I'll send you full log if you tell me where? (It's not in the FAQ.)

It subsequently fails the C:\camelbox\bin>perl5.10.0.exe -V test with:

Probably missing something that failed to unpack?

I got four instances of errors being reported whilst decompressing .lzma files., but as it deletes them afterwards, its not possible to check whether they were completely unpacked or not without downloading the files again. Yes, I'm working on allowing you to save the downloaded files, and I've thought about letting the installer give you the option of installing from the web or installing from the files stored on your hard drive already. Todo list very long. No need to send me a log, you're the only person who has had this problem so far out of 20+ installs, so for now all I can suggest is that you check your internet connection. Are you downloading from the code.google.com site, or from a local server? The downloader chokes on local sites for some reason, I'm looking into it now. It subsequently fails the C:\camelbox\bin>perl5.10.0.exe -V test with: (snippage of error output) I have not seen that one before. Usually if you're missing libraries of any kind, a dialog pops up telling you what .dll file was missing. This sounds like files got corrupted. Again, you're the only person who has had these issues so far. I also posted a new release yesterday. You can try that if you wish.	[reply]

I've downloaded hundreds of GBs using wget, curl, ftp, various browsers, and whilst downloads get interupted quite frequently for one reason or another, mosts site allow me to resume, and the final results are never corrupted. And checking my modem logs during those transfers, there is no sign of any retrys or checksum errors. And the code you are using for the transfers and unpacking it how well tested? I was using the code.google.com site. I will try once more, ~~and this time I'll pause the installer after each file arrives and copy them to another directory~~ Update: I see the new installer has the don't delete option/update. Do you publish crcs or md5s for these files anywhere? Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

I haven't tested it extensively, however, the download and unpack plugins are plugins to NSIS, an open-source installer for Windows with a lot of development and field testing behind it. Does the new installer still give you the same errors? I was using the code.google.com site. Update: I see the new installer has the don't delete option/update. Too bad that 'feature' doesn't work right yet :( Do you publish crcs or md5s for these files anywhere? No, but I will now, it just didn't occur to me to do that until you mentioned it. There may be a NSIS plugin that will do file checksums as well.	[reply]
