update: Solved in Re: Can't find 'boot_...' symbol when trying to use an installed XS module. /update

I'm working on my next Raspberry Pi project, and am having an issue using the XS module. I generated the XS using Inline::C, copied the file into the distribution directory, and compiled it successfully. However, I'm getting:

Can't find 'boot_RPi__ADC__MCP3008' symbol in /usr/local/lib/perl/5.18 +.2/auto/RPi/ADC/MCP3008/MCP3008.so at /usr/local/lib/perl/5.18.2/RPi/ADC/MCP3008.pm line 12.

I've gone through an hour's worth of search results, but none explain how I should fix this so I'm at a bit of a loss. All I know is that the error is being generated by XSLoader.

Can the XS Monks have a look to see what I may be missing? I'll happily provide more information/code/files if necessary.

My XS code:

#include "EXTERN.h" #include "perl.h" #include "XSUB.h" #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdint.h> #include <string.h> #include <errno.h> #include <wiringPi.h> #include <wiringPiSPI.h> static int fd; void load_spi_driver (){ if (system("gpio load spi") == -1){ fprintf (stderr, "Can't load the SPI driver: %s\n", strerror ( +errno)) ; exit (EXIT_FAILURE) ; } } void spi_setup (int spi_channel){ if ((fd = wiringPiSPISetup(spi_channel, 1000000)) < 0){ fprintf (stderr, "Can't open the SPI bus: %s\n", strerror (err +no)) ; exit (EXIT_FAILURE) ; } } int fetch (int load_spi, int spi, int mode, int input){ if(load_spi == TRUE){ loadSpiDriver(); } wiringPiSetup () ; spiSetup(spi); if(mode == 1){ // single-ended requires 0x08 mode = mode << 3; } if(input < 0 || input > 7){ return -1; } // start bit unsigned char buffer[3] = {1}; buffer[1] = (mode + input) << 4; wiringPiSPIDataRW(spi, buffer, 3); // get the last 10 bits return ((buffer[1] & 3) << 8) + buffer[2]; } MODULE = MCP3008 PACKAGE = MCP3008 PROTOTYPES: DISABLE void load_spi_driver () PREINIT: I32* temp; PPCODE: temp = PL_markstack_ptr++; load_spi_driver(); if (PL_markstack_ptr != temp) { /* truly void, because dXSARGS not invoked */ PL_markstack_ptr = temp; XSRETURN_EMPTY; /* return empty stack */ } /* must have used dXSARGS; list context implied */ return; /* assume stack size is correct */ void spi_setup (spi_channel) int spi_channel PREINIT: I32* temp; PPCODE: temp = PL_markstack_ptr++; spi_setup(spi_channel); if (PL_markstack_ptr != temp) { /* truly void, because dXSARGS not invoked */ PL_markstack_ptr = temp; XSRETURN_EMPTY; /* return empty stack */ } /* must have used dXSARGS; list context implied */ return; /* assume stack size is correct */ int fetch (load_spi, spi, mode, input) int load_spi int spi int mode int input

The relevant piece in the module:

require XSLoader; XSLoader::load('RPi::ADC::MCP3008', $VERSION);

...and just in case, my makefile:

use strict; use warnings FATAL => 'all'; use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; WriteMakefile( NAME => 'RPi::ADC::MCP3008', AUTHOR => q{Steve Bertrand <steveb@cpan.org>}, VERSION_FROM => 'lib/RPi/ADC/MCP3008.pm', ABSTRACT_FROM => 'lib/RPi/ADC/MCP3008.pm', LICENSE => 'Perl_5', PL_FILES => {}, LIBS => ['-lwiringPi', '-lpthread'], MIN_PERL_VERSION => 5.006, CONFIGURE_REQUIRES => { 'ExtUtils::MakeMaker' => 0, }, BUILD_REQUIRES => { 'Test::More' => 0, }, PREREQ_PM => { }, dist => { COMPRESS => 'gzip -9f', SUFFIX => 'gz', }, clean => { FILES => 'RPi-ADC-MCP3008-*' }, );
