Re: Need Help getting cl configured for making XS modules

I have no experience with Win32 programming, but I think what you're trying to do can be done much more easily with SWIG. The Introduction of the documentation is a good overview of what it can do. XS programming is tricky, to say the least, and SWIG takes a lot of work out of your hands. The examples in the introduction are on a Unix system, but it works with Windows (Visual Studio, Cygwin, etc) too.

Added bonus is that your C module can be compiled to work with other languages as well.

Thanks for your help... I tried Swig... it appears that the problem is the compiler configuration. swig created a xsc module with no problem but would not compile.... something is not set right for the commandline compiler. I am still looking for the info that will help me fix it.	[reply]
