[solved] Compile error related to missing Perl module?
« on: June 10, 2014, 02:00:04 PM »
I'm trying to compile NetSurf on Core 5.3.

The web seems to tell me it's something related to Perl but I have really no idea about that.
perl5.tcz  and  perl_xml_parser.tcz  are loaded.

I get the following error:
Code: [Select]
...
Can't locate HTML/Entities.pm in @INC (...
...
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at utils/split-messages.pl line 235.
/tmp/netsurf-all-3.1/netsurf/utils/split-messages.pl -- line 235:
Code: [Select]
        use HTML::Entities qw(encode_entities);


Thank you.

Even though I didn't install  HTML::Tagset  as recommended in the readme, compilation succeeded.

Question answered.
Thanks, bmarkus!
