I'm trying to compile chap6\6.8.1 on win32 ActivePerl 5.6.1.
I modify Makefile.PL to have CCFLAGS => '-TP', and I remove the LD/CC options.
Here's how it goes


E:\dev\XS\ExtEmbPerlSrc_v0_90\chap6\6.8.1>perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

-TP means treat all files as c++ files. If I try -Tp Coordinate.c it will treat Coordinate.c as a c++ file. So I try the following manually

cl -c -nologo -O1 -MD -DNDEBUG -DWIN32 -D_CONSOLE -DNO_STRICT -DHAVE_D
+ES_FCRYPT -DPERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT -DPERL_IMPLICIT_SYS -DPERL_MSVCRT_R

What do I do now? (ps: the book is back at the library ;()
Adding #include <math.h> and compiling manually (nomake) I get rid of the math.h related error, but the rest remain.
keep in mind this do compile on linux(debian).

btw, with perl5.8.0 the story is

On a side note (relating to perlxs and c++) I have written an extension for wxperl (all c++, Wx-DialUpManager-0.01.tar.gz -- compiles fine, but not the final version DialUpManager), but it doesn't use iostream (and usually, neither does wxwindows).

MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!
I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6x+5.8x. I take requests.
