Slic3r dev and perl Build

Whenever I try to >perl Build.pl the dev from github I get more errors than I used to. Is there anyone who can confirm this? Or what have I not updated that needs to be?

Slic3r still assembles and then runs, but I'm just not sure it is properly done.

I've tried many iteratoins without success so I thought I'd post my results here. I've asked on #reprap but I still couldn't get the dev to build. If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate it. We are dead in the water until I can get slic3r dev back up and running.

From what I can see, the problem is after if fetches the ExtUtils. The Typemaps is 3.18 and the install requires 3.18_03 so it bails on the install. Then the Boost::Geometry:Utils tries to install and the it needs the ExtUtils so it bails as well. What I can't figure out is how to fix this.

If Anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

I had the same problem.

Fixed it by going to http://search.cpan.org/~smueller/ExtUtils-ParseXS/ and downloading the latest version of ExtUtils-ParseXS-3.18 (which is 3.18_03).

I then used the cpanm command with the pathname to the file I downloaded to install it into Perl .e.g cpanm c:\ExtUtils-ParseXS-3.18_03.tar.gz

It then installs the latest, required version.

I tried your suggestion Dean and that installed. Then I got new errors and got frustrated again. Instead of chasing down all these frustrations, I installed Strawberry Perl in a single shot and everything works great now. I even dare to say that my prints look better than ever, if these are even related.

Space.... out

Hi
How do I manage that my installed slic3r installation will use strawberry pearl also installed on my win 7 computer ?Do i just have to delete some dlls in the slic3r installation so it will find equivalents in the strawberry installation? Sorry but I am not a pearl programmer ...

@HanspeterH: are you using the slic3r from Precompiled Slic3r? or are you getting it from Github?

@spaceman: I use the precompiled version under 32bit and 64bit win7 home premium

If you are using the precompiled version then you don't need to worry about perl at all.

Not true, I do have to worry about Perl because slic3r 0.9.9 is crashing on whatever object I want to slice with an error message pointing to the Perl interpreter (see attached file).

And because you wrote in your earlier Post

... Instead of chasing down all these frustrations, I installed Strawberry Perl in a single shot and everything works great now

I thought I might do the same as you did... use strawberry perl hoping that this would solve the problems...

The reason I am using Strawberry perl is because I am using the non-compiled developement version from Github.

Hi

I am trying to open an .exe file from the slic3r`s option "post script process". i don`t know to program on pearl, so i make an c++ program which change parameters of this gcode. I would like to open this program, when slic3r finishes the exportation of the gcode. can i open this .exe file directly? there is no much info about this on internet....

i need to install pearl on my pc? i am trying this but doesnt work

import subprocess
subprocess.call[("directory.......myprogram.exe")]

thank you and sorry for my english!...

Those builds are made from the dev version of Alex

It should be possible to use any language you want for the post processing script.
Check the arguments given to your program, you should have the path to the file there, which you can then process.

I have no personal experience, but I have read in other posts that people who have had problems getting a post-processing program to launch from Slic3r have used a workaround by having Slic3r call a batch (.bat) file, and then that batch file calls the program they want.
