Re: Defining the C environment for "inline::c"

Have you installed Inline::C ?
Until recently Inline::C shipped with Inline, but that's no longer the case - so you now need to explicitly install Inline::C.
You can check that Inline::C is installed (and what version it is) by running:

perl -e "require Inline::C;print $Inline::C::VERSION;"

Update: I've just noticed that you're working in a directory that contains whitespace ("Perl Code"):
C:/Users/murrayn/Documents/codecvs/CodeCVS/Perl Code/TestCode/_Inline
I don't know if that's related to your problem, but it's the sort of thing that might cause you some grief with Inline::C.
IMO, it's a good policy to avoid working with Inline::C in directories that contain whitespace if you can.

Cheers,
Rob

Thanks Rob. Indeed there was a missing module and I was led astray by dated belief that the Inline package still included Inline::C - a belief reinforced by the absence of an Inline::C installable package in Activestate's PPM repository. There was also a requirement to install MinGW and Parse-RecDescent. I'm still investigating a build error but at least it's an error trying to build with C: `Set up gcc environment - 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! +!! ERROR: Cannot copy 'C:\Perl\html\Active.css' to '\Active.css': No such + file or directory !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! +!! at -e line 1.

ERROR: Cannot copy 'C:\Perl\html\Active.css' to '\Active.css': No such file or directory That's a pretty odd sort of error to be getting - though it's similar to an error Windows users can experience with Inline-C-0.62 towards the the end of 'dmake test' when t/27inline_maker.t is run. What version of Inline::C do you have ? Can you provide a simple script that generates the above (or some similar) error. Cheers,	[reply]

This appears to be an issue with the make process trying to copy things to the root directory of the c: drive in violation of security permissions. I forced the creation of "c:\Active.css" and tried again then failed on the next file dmake wanted to copy - this is Windows saying "I can't create the file so I'll tell the user it doesn't exist." Technically it's true but it's not the root cause. I suspect there's an installation error with Inline::C since I didn't use Activestate PPM. I just downloaded the Inline-C tar.gz file from CPAN and copied the "C" folder from there under my perl\site\lib\Inline folder. I'm generating C code in the temporary _Inline folders but something is not correct in some destination path somewhere. Still looking (and listening for someone to tell me where I've been silly!).

Active.css ... That's a pretty odd sort of error to be getting ... Probably ActivePerl::DocTools stuff :)	[reply]
