INSTALLATION
To install this module type the following:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
Mac OSX Lion
Mac OSX does not have support natively for GNU's readline libraries. As such things like
perl's Term::ReadLine::Gnu will not install via CPAN or otherwise. I got this to work by
using Homebrew to install readline (
https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/installation) and
then linking to the readline libraries when I built the makefile in Perl. NOTE: Homebrew
installs core libraries and things like readline in a out-of-the-way directory so that other
things do not break. Here are the steps I followed:
1) Install Homebrew. Run the following from a terminal window/shell:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL
https://raw.github.com/gist/323731)"
2) Update Homebrew
brew update
3) Install readline
brew install readline
4) Download Term::ReadLine::Gnu from CPAN and untar
5) Make makefile, make, and install
perl Makefile.PL --includedir=/usr/local/Cellar/readline/6.2.1/include --libdir=/usr/local/Cellar/readline/6.2.1/lib
make
make install
DOXYGEN
Term::RouterCLI uses Doxygen for documentation. Here are some notes for getting Doxygen working
various platforms.
The dot tool is required for dependency graphs and you can get binary builds for OSX Lion at:
http://www.graphviz.org/
Mac OSX Lion
When you install Doxygen it will add the doxywizard application just called "Doxygen" in the
Applications directory. A symlink will need to be created to allow command line (terminal)
access to the command line doxygen program. This can be done with:
ln -s /Applications/Doxygen.app/Contents/Resources/doxygen /usr/local/bin/
