Re^2: How to make an XS module with a different C compiler?

in thread How to make an XS module with a different C compiler?

Regarding the monkeys, I haven't played with this much but I'm wondering: if this is true, should it not also be true that one can only safely compile XS modules using the same compiler and settings that Perl itself was built with on one's machine?

It's not that you have to use the same compiler, it's just more likely that you're going to have problems if you don't. Just be sure to have bribes handy for your local C guru and/or sysadmin to get them to lay hands on things when they break.	[reply]
