git-cal failed on locating JSON/PP.pm - OS X 10.8.5

[ngocphamm]

After updating the binary of git-cal to latest commit, it no loger work.

Can't locate JSON/PP.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.12 /Network/Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.12 /Library/Perl/Updates/5.12.4 /System/Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.12 /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.12 .) at /usr/local/bin/git-cal line 11.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/git-cal line 11.

I'm not a Perl programmer so don't know where to go then. Please help. Thank you!

It now has a dependency on json parser, so updating the binary will no longer work. Please install it via Makefile according to the instructions, it should download the dependencies by itself.

Hi,

Tried installing via Makefile, but it writes out

$ perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/.local
Warning: prerequisite JSON::PP 0 not found.
Writing Makefile for git-cal

when it compiles. And it complains

$ git-cal

when I try to run it.

Cheers,

Please try

curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - --sudo App::cpanminus
cpanm install JSON::PP
followed by perl Makefile.PL etc
( i am sure there must be an easier way to do this )

If that doesn't work, pull the latest code, I created a branch where i removed all dependencies on external libraries.

git checkout -b no-deps origin/no-deps
then install normally with perl Makefile.PL ..

Will the binary standalone works again? I guess line 11 still call the JSON library.

[k4rthik]

Oops, fixed now. Standalone should work now (the one in no-deps branch)

[ngocphamm]

Thanks for that! 👍
