Windows support

[noisegul]

I was unsure whether the bug label is the most appropriate. Feel free to change as you see fit.

[antoniogamiz]

Bug label is set automatically by the issue template. As I told, windows support is not a feature currently. So this issue should have been made as a feature request, using the proper template.

Windows support for Pod::To::Cached has been fixed so I will close this for now.

[noisegul]

I'm taking another look myself, but it appears that Pod::To::Cached still fails, I'll have to run a few
more scenarios on Windows before I can confirm it and open another issue there (maybe have
somebody else confirm it to rule out that my windows setup is the cause).

I any way as I said I suspect there are other factors preventing Windows support in place.

Should it persist, do you prefer opening a new issue or should I update here in case you want
to reopen it?

Please persist as much as you need. And while you're at it, there's a number of issues in perl6/doc that need someone who works with Windows. If you can fix a certain amount of them, we'd appreciate it El mar., 23 jul. 2019 a las 20:52, Joel (<[email protected]>) escribió:

@JJ I will gladly take a look at them and see if I can provide some input if possible :)
(especially given that I had to fight Windows for quite a few hours these past few days, hope
at least some of that work can provide useful on a larger scale).

I have to add however that I am not a Windows user primarily so I'm not best suited in most cases
to offer the most advanced problem analysis.

[antoniogamiz]

Windows support is not longer a planned feature for this project, because of the numerous problems in the paths, so I will close this.

[JJ]

We can't simply close this. As much as I don't use Windows, this is an essential module so we need Windows support for it. If the problem is in Pod::To::Cached, let's fix that.

[noisegul]

After Pod::To::Cached becomes installable on Windows, we will then probably have to take a look at the way paths are handled, as indicated above.
