This is a development release of the 5.36 portable edition.

There are more modules packaged in this version than the last, but several remain missing due to test failures or build issues. See https://github.com/StrawberryPerl/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aperl5.36

There are many more files in the c folder than are needed for the final distribution.

To run the system call portableshell.bat in the top of the distribution.

Please report any issues as you find them.

~Edit - it seems some modules only install when the distribution is located under c:\strawberry. The list so far is (Inline::C) but there are probably others. ~
Edit 2 - The Inline::C failures are an issue with long paths and should not manifest when using typical installation locations. See discussion in #95 .

This is an extract of the 5.36 build for experimentation. It is not a proper release.

The portableshell.bat file can be used to set the path and other env vars, but note that this is not a properly portable edition. The top level needs to be c:\strawberry for many of the components to work (so you should have c:\strawberry\perl, c:\strawberry\c etc ) (although this might not be a strict requirement - please test).

Many of the component libs are missing due to test failures. See https://github.com/StrawberryPerl/Perl-Dist-Strawberry/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aperl5.36

It also contains many more files in the c folder than are needed for the final distribution.

The main changes from the previous dev release are that ExtUtils::Depends is set to 0.8000 (see #80) and that BUILTIN_EXPECT is disabled and we build with -Os (#85). Due to this, more of the CPAN deps now build.

UPDATE 20230320: There is an error in the portableshell.bat file where the perl\site\bin dir is mis-specified. The path should be set to

set PATH=%SP%\perl\site\bin;%SP%\perl\bin;%SP%\c\bin;%PATH%

You should also be able to copy across a portableshell.bat file from another strawberry perl instance.
