Could anyone of you help me in solving an issue I am facing while linking C++ lib and headers with Perl using H2xs?
I have done the following:
1. First I write a C source file and its header file.
2. Create the new module using “c:/perl/bin/h2xs -n Remote::Connection
3. I adjust the Makefile.pl by adding the following line:
$CC = 'cl';
CC => $CC,
LD => '$(CC)',
DEFINE => '', # e.g., '-DHAVE_SOMETHING'
INC => ' -I/C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\atlmfc\include -I/C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include', # e.g., '-I. -I/usr/include/other'
'OBJECT' => '$(O_FILES)',
4. Do some changes in default Connection.pm file (Added the function which I need to perform).
5. Create test.pl file
6. Add C++ code in Connection.xs
7. I have placed the project C++ Source file n header file in c: /perl/bin/Remote::Connection
8. In the cmd prompt I say c:/perl/bin/
Remote::Connection /perl makefile.pl
9. When I run nmake on the cmd prompt I get the following error msg:

Stop.
Is there any thing that I am missing while specifying the path of the lib.
Please let me know your comments.
How do I link all the MFC apps (Vc++ Header files, lib and Dll) with h2xs (Command line).

In reply to Any help on Perl h2xs would appreciate by anupama
