comment on

I just built a Perl 5.10 with the link flags added to makefile.mk, but that didn't solve the problem with Devel::Cover.

What did work was to add the following symbols to global.sym (two more than mentioned above):

Perl_pp_nextstate
Perl_pp_nextstate
Perl_pp_setstate
Perl_pp_setstate
Perl_pp_dbstate
Perl_pp_dbstate
Perl_pp_entersub
Perl_pp_entersub
Perl_pp_cond_expr
Perl_pp_and
Perl_pp_andassign
Perl_pp_or
Perl_pp_orassign
Perl_pp_xor
Perl_pp_require
Perl_pp_exec
Perl_pp_dor
Perl_pp_dorassign

This may be wrong way to do this since the comment at the top of global.sym says it's auto generated by "make regen_headers". However there doesn't seem to be a make target for that, so I don't know. It's a workaround for this particular module anyway.

Now, whether this is a good idea or not, I can't tell you. I have no clue about those issues.

I do know, however, that I would very, very much like Devel::Cover to build on Windows.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
