Re: Inline::C query

Hello Monks,

I am trying to test the functionality of Inline::c with small examples. For one shown below, I seem to get the result alright when I execute test.pl, still I want to take suggestions from you all. Please guide if I am doing it properly.

One more thing, suppose if I have a .dlls/c-libraries instead of the c-source code, will the approach remain the same? Any alternative ways? Basically, I want to keep perl code and .dlls/c-libraries in separate folders.

Hail Monks!

Raj

test.pl
--------------------
use hello qw(addint);

my $a=addint(9, 16);
print "$a\n";
exit;


hello.pm
------------
package hello;
use strict;
require Exporter;
@ISA=qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT_OK=qw(addint);

use Inline (C => 'cfunction/addint.c');
1;


addint.c
-----------------------------
int addint(int x, int y) {
  return x + y;
}

If you want to link an external library and/or use its include files you need to specify these in the `use Inline` statement: `use Inline ( C => Config => LIBS => '-lyourlib', AUTO_INCLUDE => '#include "yourlib.h";' );` [download] This is discussed in more detail in the Inline::C manpage. /J\	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`use Inline ( C => Config => LIBS => '-lyourlib', AUTO_INCLUDE => '#include "header.h";' ); function1 (NULL);` [download] Hi, when I try to run the above program I get the error: `Undefined subroutine &main::function1 called at ..\..\test.pl line 8 .` [download] 1. From the error it appears that the program is not reading the function "function1" from the header file "header1.h" which it should or from the libraries library1.lib/library1.dll (in the current directory). Kindly suggest what mistake I am making. 2. In the syntax above, is "-lyourlib" a special switch or does it need to be replaced by the actual library name, ie, "library1.lib". Still, when I replace I get the same error as above. 3. I also have a .dll file but am not sure if and how I need to use it. Thanks very much.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
