Re^4: PerlIO::Layers 0.011 fails to build in macOS 10.13.3

Rats! I am now running Perl 5.26.1 in Homebrew and building PerlIO::Layers is still broken, only at this point my work-around of editing version => '0.011' expressions and making them "0.011" (three places, *.yml files and ./_build/build_params) and then doing perl ./Build.PL, ./Build and Build test does not yield a shared object. Indeed, Layers.o in this latest build is a file size = 5048 bytes while the one I built using that work-around with Perl 5.18.2 is size = 92676 bytes. The 00.compile.t test fails even though there is a Layers.o file in ../lib. That test uses -Mblib to find the shared object, which obviously isn't a loadable object. And as was noted, XS_VERSION_BOOTCHECK does not appear to be invoked, which means now there is some other reason why the module will not build. Back to the drawing board...

And as was noted, XS_VERSION_BOOTCHECK does not appear to be invoked But if XS_VERSION is being defined in the command line (and I gather that is still happening here), then XS_VERSION_BOOTCHECK should be invoked. It's just that STR_WITH_LEN no longer gets called directly by XS_VERSION_BOOTCHECK. Cheers, Rob	[reply]
