FuzeV2 build problems

[Progweed]

Hi,

I'm receiving this error at the very beginning of the make process (using VMWare in Windows):

What do I need to do?

Are you using our vmware image or your own?  Is this a clean check out?  It sounds like something is screwed up with either the build tools or the source.

[Progweed]

Yes, I'm using your image, the one linked in the wiki. And I did a complete check out to see if that sorted out the problem. It has been surfacing since a couple of days now.

I was having this same issue before.  This is due to the changes in r30169.  It looks like you are using perl 5.8,  it appears you need 5.10 or later with this change. 

[bluebrother]

The commit message clearly states that you need at least Perl 5.10:

Perl 5.14 removed Switch which means that Rockbox will no longer build
with the current release of Perl. The patch replaces Switch
with given/when which was introduced in Perl 5.10.0.

Your Perl installation is too old (and the vmware image is rather outdated anyway).

[saratoga]

Well yes, but the problem is the vmware image wasn't updated.  At this point we should probably just start over with a fresh virtualbox image using a modern linux version.

[Progweed]

Thanks for your replies. Seems I'm not knowledgeable enough to update my Perl installation with the system included in the image. Isn't apt-get the right way to do this? But it's not important, I switched to a full-blown Linux installation anyway, which is probably much easier to maintain. Compiling was a piece of cake and compile times are much shorter now as well. Another happy convert.
