[Po4a-Devel] installing po4a from scratch
In my attempt to check what's necessary to install po4a on Windows I tried to first
install it from scratch on my Mac.
I guess Windows users would use something like Strawberry Perl, and probably have direct
access to cpanm.
That seemed to be an issue on Mac.
I could install it with cpan:
➜ cpan App::cpanminus
Loading internal logger. Log::Log4perl recommended for better logging
Reading '/Users/suzume/.cpan/Metadata'

App::cpanminus is up to date (1.7044).
But then the shell could not find it:
po4a on master
➜ cpanm Module::Build
zsh: command not found: cpanm
I guess it's a path issue, but I'd expect cpan to get that right at install.
So I installed cpanminus from Brew instead and it worked...
After running Build installdeps, I end up stuck at SGMLS:
po4a on master
➜ perl Build installdeps
Checking optional dependencies:
Install SGMLS? [y ]y

Text::Levenshtein::Damerau::XS, Text::Levenshtein, and Text::Levenshtein::Damerau::PP

po4a on master took 6s
➜ cpanm SGMLS
! Finding SGMLS on cpanmetadb failed.
! Finding SGMLS () on metacpan failed.
! Finding SGMLS () on mirror http://www.cpan.org failed.
! Couldn't find module or a distribution SGMLS
So, what is that SGMLS thing that's required but can't be found ?
