I'm trying to install bcvi (under Cygwin), and there are apparently no directions that apply to this setup. The directions at http://sshmenu.sourceforge.net/articles/bcvi/#installation state that bcvi is a standalone script with no non-core dependencies, but when I copied that script from the github repo it gave me this error:
Can't locate Pod/Text.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/msys
usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/msys /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl.) at /c/Users/bzisad0/bin/bcvi line 1315.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /c/Users/bzisad0/bin/bcvi line 1315.
I'm not a Perl guy, but I understand that to suggest that there are unmet dependencies, and I'd rather not learn Perl and its ecosystem just to try to untangle this.
In case it's relevent, I first copied the script to the Linux server I intend to use it on, where I didn't get any such errors, but it seems to require you to run bcvi --install
from your local machine, so I had to install it on my Windows machine (using the Git Bash shell, which AFAIK is just running Cygwin under the hood). perl --version
returns
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for msys
Is it possible to get this working on Windows?
