in thread How To Link -lperl to Extensions During Build

Well, I believe I've finally managed to link libperl with the module that is throwing the error

readelf output for PL_re.so

Dynamic section at offset 0x600c4 contains 23 entries:
  Tag        Type                         Name/Value

Unfortunately, the original error still persists

Should I just post this to the perl-porters maillist

    Make a small build script (from configure to install), run it after distclean >& LOG; dump that on some pastebin site.

    Script and link -> cyd's scratchpad.

      Here's where I apologize for my lack of knowledge

      And here's where I ask, when you say 'build script' what do you mean? Isn't the ./Configure and make that I;m doing to build perl a script. Or do just want a log of the build?

      NOTE: Went ahead and added the ./Configure && other commands to a shell script and am running it now as build.sh >&1 | tee log

      Also, to clarify, make fails before finishing with the error I posted earlier. I never get to the point where I can run make install

        There's also the README.android - have you looked at those suggestions?

        Try a plain 

        Configure -des -Dprefix=... -Dsysroot=... -Alibpth=... -Duseshrplib
        with appropriate values filled in, if you haven't already. Pastebin the make output.
