Re^4: How To Link -lperl to Extensions During Build

Here's how the extensions build fails. WARNING: lengthy output follows

Here's how the build fails with -Aldflags

se which C compiler? [gcc --sysroot=/usr/gcc-4.9.2/sysroot]
/usr/gcc-4.9.2/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Uh-oh, the C compiler 'gcc --sysroot=/usr/gcc-4.9.2/sysroot' doesn't s
+eem to be working.
/usr/gcc-4.9.2/bin/ld: cannot find -lperl
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Uh-oh, the C compiler 'gcc --sysroot=/usr/gcc-4.9.2/sysroot' doesn't s

You need to find a working C compiler.
Either (purchase and) install the C compiler supplied by your OS vendo
+r,
or for a free C compiler try http://gcc.gnu.org/
I cannot continue any further, aborting.

And if I copy -lperl to $SYSROOT

Use which C compiler? [gcc --sysroot=/usr/gcc-4.9.2/sysroot]

Hmm - it now slowly dawns on me that adding `-lperl` should only happen when compiling extensions instead of being a compiler flag when compiling Perl itself. Surprisingly, the INSTALL document for Perl doesn't mention any appropriate linker flags that would apply only to after `perl.o` has been built. As I've successfully built Perl (5.21.11, soon also 5.22.0-RC0) using cctools, my first suggestion would be to try the build using cctools instead of your compiler kit, just to see whether it is a problem with your build of Android or with the package or the environment. Slide 24 of this talk shows the command line I've used to compile Perl. Maybe that is already sufficient to make your compiler kit work with how Perl configures itself: `sh ./Configure -Dprefix=/storage/sdcard0/perl -des -Dusedevel -Dprefix=/data/local/perl-5.21.11/ -Dsysroot=/data/data/com.pdaxrom.cctools/root/cctools -Alibpth="/system/lib /vendor/lib" -Dman1dir=none -Dman3dir=none -Dsite1man=none -Dsite3man=none -Dvendorman1=none -Dvendorman3=none -DNO_LOCALE` [download] Most likely, you will need to edit the `-Dsysroot` variable and likely you will want to set the `prefix` to something supported on your device.
