in reply to ExtUtils::XSpp usage for a novice

A tutorial would be nice. Here is what I've done.

h2xs -A -n Bitcoin::Address
added #include <bitcoin/address.hpp> to Address.xs
building the project blows up spectacularly,
cc can't handle hpp files.

[download]

Running xspp does nothing, there are no files for it to work with.

We are cpp novices, but proficient in c and xs.

      What part of "blows up spectacularly" are you having trouble with?

      cc can't parse headers meant to be pares by cpp, it's plain wrong to even try. Knowing that I've the wrong tutorial(for C using h2xs) is only half the battle.

      We are asking for the XSpp tutorial for novice, given that there is no hpp2xs. Looking for a fill in the blanks boilerplate, the example with animals and dogs is too beefed up. It's not explained what can and can't be purged or what to do to get started with your own project. One note is that it does not interface with any library.

        Yes, you tried something, it didn't work ... so what happened next?

        Why do you keep saying "we"?

        xspp
