Hello. I have a set of functionality written in Perl that has been bound to Java. I had this setup working for Perl 5.8, but I have now upgraded and built from source Perl 5.10.0 and am trying to use that instead.

The problem is, I have a Makefile looking for DynaLoader.a but it doesn't exist in this distribution. What do I do when running the Configure script to make sure it is built?

Here is a snippet of the Makefile I am trying to make valid:
Makefile:
----------------
# The Perl documentation advises to obtain compiler and linker options
+ from using the commands
# "perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts" and "perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ld
+opts" respectively.  Of the
# resulting output, it seemed meaningful to use the linker options
#
# Wl,-E -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/perl5/lib/5.8.8/x86_64-linux/CORE
#
# This may need to be revised as our understanding of using Perl in th
+is way develops.
#

always:
        -rm -f $(TARGET_SO)
        $(JAVAH) -d . -classpath ../build com.dajeil.dais.webui.toolki
+t.DaisCliUtil
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c -shared -fpic -pthread -D _REENTRANT $(INCL
+UDES) $(SOURCES) XSInit.c
        $(LD) -r  XSInit.o /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i686-linux/auto/DynaL
+oader/DynaLoader.a -o XSInit_r.o
        $(CC) -Wl,-E -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i686-linux/CORE 
+-shared -fpic -pthread -D _REENTRANT $(LIBS) $(OBJECTS) XSInit_r.o -o
+ $(TARGET_SO)
        cp $(TARGET_SO) ../dist
