doc/bugs/Problems_using_cygwin.mdwn



I'd like to run ikiwiki under cygwin.  I'm new to ikiwiki and have tried to follow the setup tutorial as best I could.  I got all the way up to step 7, but I can't get the CGI to run successfully (step 8).

Moved the formbuilder bug to [[formbuilder_3.0401_broken]] --[[Joey]]


A different problem has reared its ugly head.  When I click on "RecentChanges", the CGI complains about an undefined subroutine:

Indeed there is no such routine IkiWiki::XMLin().  I don't understand how this can possibly work -- as it manifestly does on linux.

XMLin is supposed to be exported by XML::Simple. My guess is that, due to a missing error check, XML::Simple is failing to load, and it's not aborting then. You probably need to install that module; in the meantime, I've fixed the missing error check in svn. --[[Joey]]
