...and that works very nicely too. In both cases they create an _Inline directory in the current working directory and the compiled c is written to that directory.

Um, you're only supposed to compile dlls once, when you install the module, not every time you run it -- extract the XS file Inline generates and get rid of Inline when uploading to CPAN

Thank you, Anonymous, for your comments. My target is Linux so I think the point about compiling dlls is moot although please correct me if I am mistaken. Thanks, though, for the links to the XS converters. I will try them out and reply again if and when I have something working. At first glance it looks like the original Device::WH1091 module is in the wrong format to use without modification so I might as well try to work out what it does and see if I can re-write it to libusb 1.0 instead of the now deprecated libusb 0.1, which is the version it currently uses. ...I may be some time.

... I might as well try to work out what it does and see if I can re-write it to libusb 1.0 instead of the now deprecated libusb 0.1 Not sure if it applies to your usage case, but there is a compatibility libusb library at: http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/files/libusb-compat-0.1/libusb-compat-0.1.4/libusb-compat-0.1.4.tar.bz2 It allows access to libusb-1.0 for code that has been written for the deprecated libusb-0.1. I used it with libusb-1.0.9 for the purpose of building Device::USB on Windows - Device::USB being another module that has not been updated for libusb-1.0. I now see that there are much more recent versions than 1.0.9 available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/files/libusb-1.0/ I (sisyphus) mentioned this in a post to this bug report. Have a quick read of that post and see if you think this approach might be of use to you. Cheers, Rob	[reply]

My target is Linux so I think the point about compiling dlls is moot although please correct me if I am mistaken. Moot how? Why is it desireable that each CWD gets a copy of the module built for the occasion? Why is acceptable that "installing" a module isn't the end of the installation process? Oh look, maybe https://metacpan.org/pod/Inline#WRITING-MODULES-WITH-INLINE is ~~slightly better than~~ more appealing than my advice ... its certainly better than recompiling the module after installation ... but it adds a dependency for end users on Inline which isn't always easy to install (only author needs Inline to generate the XS, everybody after author doesn't need it)	[reply]
