Subject: Re: Trying to build (perl) Inline::CPP-0.25.
I ran into a similar problem recently - the standard sort of c++ references
were not being found. It turns out that the linker I was calling was ld2,
a script that called another script perlld (in /usr/bin), where I found
this:
# these are pretty mandatory
my $CC = 'gcc';
my $EXPORT_ALL = 1;
I edited this script and replaced gcc with g++. I don't know if this was a
good idea or not, but it seemed to fix the problem.
I personally think this was an *excellent* idea. It certainly works for me,
too.
I had run:
-------------------------
Rob@desktop2 ~/comp/Inline-CPP-0.25
$ perl -V:ld
ld='ld2';
-------------------------
and wondered about that. You're suggested amendment (apart from fixing the
problem) is also in keeping with my "native" (MinGW) build of Windows perl
5.8 which reports:
--------------------------
C:\>perl -V:ld
ld='g++';
--------------------------
Dammit ... I should've known ... I've struck similar problems with MinGW
builds of perl that want to set 'ld' to 'gcc' instead of 'g++'.
So ... it *is* a Cygwin Perl bug after all ? (That's a question, not an
assertion :-)
Thanks Paul.
Cheers,
Rob
