MRC Windows module [Solved: rogue gcc compiler in PATH]

manobe199

I'm trying to use the MRC converter suite to convert my Keeper to 1Password. Unfortunately, my Windows 10 (and tried on 11) installation of the converter doesn't work. Both get stuck at the bit::Vector module installation and I can't find a way to force install it. The forum shows some solution for sudo, but haven't found one for Windows.

I believe this could be resolved by @MrC

@manobe199 ,

Which version of Win10 are you using - 32-bit or 64-bit? I presume 64 since you're also trying Win11.

And did you use the Latest Strawberry Perl installer version?

MrC

@manobe199

I just did a clean install of the latest Strawberry Perl 5.40.0.1 (2024-08-10) on Win10x64 and ran the modules installer and had no problems.

The articles you found re: requiring sudo would be for Linux; you don't need it in Windows. I'll await more info from you.

Hi MRC,

Thanks for the quick reply. The strawberry perl version is 5.40.0.1 also, downloaded from strawberryperl.com.

My windows version is Windows 10 Pro 22H2 on a 64-bit operating system.

I've removed Perl, restarted my computer and reinstalled the (same) latest version. Still having the same issue with the same modules

The mrc-converter-suite that I am using is 2024-10-18-1312

@manobe199

Any antivirus software interfering?

manobe199

Only MS Defender. I retried by turning off the "real-time protection"

Could I manually force the installation?

MrC

@manobe199

Would you be able to email me the error log mentioned in your screenshot for Bit::Vector ? It might hold the answer. I haven't seen failures building these modules in a long time, and never found a definitive answer why some users would encounter them.

My email address is at the top of any of the suite's files such as convert.pl .

MrC

Also, the only failures I see for that module in the bot-builds are for Cygwin. You wouldn't happen to have Cygwin installed also would you?

manobe199

Yup, just sent. Thanks

MrC

@manobe199 and I solved this offline.

There was another version of the gcc compiler found in the PATH, ahead of the Strawberry Perl included gcc. With a simple path re-ordering, the module builds succeeded.

Enjoy 1Password!
