Correct. IIUC there are a lot of things not normally included in a
flatpak installation required to run cpan, so it's not really a
practical option. We build Finance::Quote and all of its dependencies
from source tarballs, see
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash-on-flatpak/blob/master/modules/finance-quote-sources.json.
Unfortunately F::Q has a lot of dependencies and the list isn't
stable, so keeping up with the latest often falls in the "too much
effort" category and doesn't get done.
If there's a better way, please share.
John,
Trust me, if I knew a better way I would share. But you answered my
unasked question as to whether or not including GCC is feasible or may
be included in the future.
From
https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/building-introduction.html#software-development-kits-sdks
etc. I would suspect, our users have to install org.gnome.sdk to have
the compiler inside the flatpaks available.
My concern is that the copy from GitHub ./lib/Finance to <flatpak path>,
while working for the AlphaVantage currency fix, may not necessarily
work for other modules that require those modules that need compiling to
install not included in the flatpak.
Being a somewhat recent addition to the F::Q maintainer team (and lately
the sole active member), I am unsure why there is a huge number of
additional module requirements between 1.49 and 1.52.
It seems cpan generates on each run a different order of building the
required modules. That makes it not really easy to find the diffs.
Thanks for the answer.
- Bruce S.
Regards
Frank
