Let me describe my first naïve attempt at dealing with this problem. Looking at my top-level directory:
> [rakudo-star-2010.08] 502 $ ll > total 14452 > -rw-r--r-- 1 jimk jimk 6633 Aug 25 09:17 Configure.pl > -rw-r--r-- 1 jimk jimk 8902 Aug 25 09:17 LICENSE > -rw-r--r-- 1 jimk jimk 103652 Aug 26 08:45 MANIFEST > -rw-r--r-- 1 jimk jimk 6309 Aug 26 18:47 Makefile > -rw-r--r-- 1 jimk jimk 6607 Aug 25 13:37 README > drwxr-xr-x 2 jimk jimk 1024 Aug 26 18:43 build > drwxr-xr-x 3 jimk jimk 1024 Aug 26 18:43 docs > drwxr-xr-x 8 jimk jimk 1024 Aug 26 18:57 install > drwxr-xr-x 22 jimk jimk 1024 Aug 26 18:43 modules > drwxr-xr-x 15 jimk jimk 2048 Aug 26 18:47 parrot-2.7.0 > -rwxr-xr-x 1 jimk jimk 14596343 Aug 26 18:57 perl6 > drwxr-xr-x 8 jimk jimk 1024 Aug 26 18:56 rakudo > ... I see 4 plain-text files, 6 directories and 1 perl6 executable. Inspection of build/, docs/ and modules/ suggests that (a) the size of their files is small, or (b) that's where useful libraries live. Which leaves the parrot-2.7.0/ and rakudo/ directories as places to trim. Acting on the belief that "what I really need is install/", I tried moving the rakudo/ directory out of the way. But when I then re-ran 'make rakudo-test', I got: [rakudo-star-2010.08] 514 $ make rakudo-test cd rakudo && /usr/local/bin/perl Configure.pl --parrot-config=/home/jimk/work/rstar/rakudo-star-2010.08/install/bin/parrot_config && make /bin/sh: line 0: cd: rakudo: No such file or directory make: *** [rakudo/perl6] Error 1 Which was not encouraging. But, then again, I'm just stumbling around here. kid51
