I am using PAR Packer (1.012) to package perl scripts for distribution, like so:
pp -c -o script script.pl
When I move it to a machine without various libraries used the script installed it fails with the following error message:
Can't find 'boot_Compress__Raw__Zlib' symbol in
/tmp/par-root/cache-206d7ce41fbe60d4e890ae3ac7d39bfc7ce2d710/d6103eb0.so
at /usr/share/perl5/Archive/Zip.pm line 12 Compilation failed in
require at /usr/share/perl5/Archive/Zip.pm line 12. BEGIN
failed--compilation aborted at /usr/share/perl5/Archive/Zip.pm line
12. Compilation failed in require at -e line 358.
So, it appears to be missing the Zlib.so library that contains the symbol. Compiling with -vv to debug I can see that Zlib is included:
Written as "auto/Compress/Raw/Zlib/Zlib.so" Packing
"/tmp/par-jag/cache-044524c2d7fff164771e45125a48ca260a890c0c/5f10a097.so"...
and I have confirmed that it is the packaged archive. I've also checked the library that it is complaining it can't find the symbol in:
Written as "auto/IO/IO.so" Packing
"/tmp/par-jag/cache-044524c2d7fff164771e45125a48ca260a890c0c/d6103eb0.so"...
I have no idea how to resolve this issue. Additionally, if I install perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib on the target box I just immediately fails on another library.
Can't find 'boot_Term__ReadKey' symbol in
/tmp/par-jag/cache-206d7ce41fbe60d4e890ae3ac7d39bfc7ce2d710/d6103eb0.so
Which is also included in the package.
How can I resolve/debug this?
Maybe the two machine are so different that they are needing different lib? One is 32bit other is 64bit?
If it is possible try to use pure perl scripts only or you have to package your program in a same enviroment.
Use a virtual machine, install a same linux on it and create package there.
