Re: git-forest on msysgit

Hi,

Note: this is pretty much obviously the wrong mailing list for 
msysGit-related issues.

I downloaded git-forest, and when I run it I get:

Can't locate loadable object for module Encode in @INC (@INC contains:

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/msys/encoding.pm
line 5

The line 5 in encoding.pm reads "use Encode;" and there is an Encode.pm
on the path, and in Encode.pm it uses XSLoader.  However, in the XS
subdirectory in the same directory as Encode.pm, I see only 2 files and
neither of them has to do with encoding.  So I'm guessing I'm missing a
file.

You can try recompiling git-svn.  Maybe I forgot to commit a file.

I wonder if I can just copy it from somewhere, like someone's Linux 
build?

How do you expect a Linux-specific binary object to be usable on Windows?

Hth,
