PARROT VM: Could not load bytecode
Could not load oplib `nqp_ops’

Could someone please advise me if there is a soultion to this…. Pleeeeeease I don’t how much longer I can take not having a working copy of Perl 6. Thank you for any help provided.

The Windows compiler chokes on a file with any special character in a comment (“Malformed UTF-8 string”), even if the source file is Unicode text. I’ve tried all available formats (DOS text, Unix text, Unicode, Unicode big endian), but no sir, you can’t have an accented letter in a comment. Looks like string encoding handling is not very mature yet.

Anyway, all in all it’s an exciting product, and I will wait for these issues to get resolved. It’s well worth.

I don’t know if they can also create a .msi file though. I recently used these to add a Linux-to-Windows cross-build capability to a project I’m responsible for. This project’s build system was designed for simultaneous cross-building of multiple platforms, so it was actually very easy to do with the MinGW cross-compiler tools; the Parrot and Rakudo build system(s) might be a different matter though.

I’m still learning how to do .msi releases properly — so there may be some issues, but at least we have one and the tools in place to improve it over time.

Thanks again!

Currently we don’t know what’s going on, just that it’s created to the garbage collector.
