How to build XMLTV.EXE
Previously, xmltv.exe was built using Activestate's Perl Development Kit. (about $300). That has been discontinued, and I was able to build xmltv.exe using the free PAR::Packer module!
- Follow instructions in XMLTVWindowsBuild to get a working xmltv under windows.
- Install these modules
- cpan PAR::Packer
- cpan App::PP::Autolink
- execute "gmake xmltv.exe" from your xmltv directory.
That's it!
The first time XMLTV.EXE is executed, it will take a long time. For my XMLTV.EXE I add modified Par::Packer to add a warning
- CPAN
- look PAR::Packer
- edit myldr/boot.c
- boot.c:188
- rc = my_mkdir(stmpdir, 0700);
- // 2021-01-18 rmeden hack to print a message on first run
- if ( rc == 0 ) fprintf(stderr,"Note: This will take a while on first run\n");
- // rmeden
- if ( rc == -1 && errno != EEXIST) {
- perl Makefile.PL (PAR::Packer directory)
- gmake install
- now after build a new xmltv.exe it will print a warning on the first run.
