INSTALLATION
To install this module type the following:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
RPM BUILD
To build a RedHat package file for installing RiveScript, use the rpmbuild Perl script provided in the subversion repository.
Usage: perl rpmbuild
This results in a slightly different RPM than what you'd get via cpan2rpm or
cpan2dist... along with installing the module in its proper place in your Perl
libs, it will also install the rivescript utility from the bin/ folder into
your /usr/bin directory.
BUILDING RIVESCRIPT.EXE
The bin/rivescript script can be compiled into a stand-alone executable file
for distribution and inclusion in other projects. The module PAR::Packer can
produce this executable. Here is an example on how to create it, from the root
folder of the project:
$ pp -o rivescript.exe -I lib -M MIME::Base64 -M utf8_heavy.pl \
-M unicore/Heavy.pl bin/rivescript
$ rivescript.exe lib/RiveScript/demo
The inclusion of MIME::Base64 is to support the example Perl object in
demo/perl.rive and would otherwise be optional. The utf8_heavy.pl and
unicore/Heavy.pl may be needed if you otherwise were getting errors in
utf8.pm after entering a question for the bot.
