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.
