Slic3r build problem!

Hey
I have tried to get the newest version 0.8.5 DEV to build on my machine, but after I have installed Citrusperl (same problem for strawberry perl)
I come to the part where I need to do the following:

Quote
https://github.com/alexrj/Slic3r/wiki/Running-Slic3r-from-git-on-Windows
cpan JSON App::cpanminus
cpanm [github.com]
(The above is to install a custom Math::Libm build, because one of the function is undefined in the MinGW math libarary)
cpanm Moo Math::Clipper Math::Geometry::Voronoi Boost::Geometry::Utils Class:SAccessor Math::ConvexHull Math:lanePath

The second line dosnt work, I get the following output in the terminal:

Quote

C:\Users\B4Me\Documents\GitHub\Slic3r>cpanm [github.com]
tarball/master
--> Working on [github.com]
Fetching [github.com] ... OK
/usr/bin/tar: pax_global_header: Unknown file type 'g', extracted as normal file

! Bad archive: master
! Failed to unpack master: no directory
! Failed to fetch distribution

How can I fix this ?

Did you download MinGW and set GCC properly?

Yes, yes I did, for citrusPerl I ran the utility and downloaded MinGW
installed it as C:/mingw32
pointed then to that folder..

But thats NOT the issue is it ?

I got this error as mentioned in main post:
/usr/bin/tar: pax_global_header: Unknown file type 'g', extracted as normal file
When I add the custom library
