in reply to inline c

The problem appears to me to be related to the spaces in your path: the path gets broken off after "C:\Documents" when the full path to the config file is "C:\Documents and Settings\Angel\Desktop\inline\_Inline". (Your script probably resides in "C:\Documents and Settings\Angel\Desktop", hence, the desktop.)

As a first test, try moving the script file to a location that doesn't have a space in its path, such as "c:\temp". That'll probably work (no guarantees from me), and if it does, we can still figure out a way to make it behave well in you current case. Just make sure first there's no problem anywhere else.

    thanks, as a first test that worked. It then complained that lack of MSVCR80.dll; so put one in it path and now it complains in this way. Runtime Error! Program C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorreclty. Please contact the applications support team for more information. I have spent about 20 minutes googling that error without umderstand much of what I find. angel

      If you're using ActivePerl, you need to use the compiler that came with VC++/VS version 6. I think MSVCR80.dll is used by newer versions of that compiler (The one from VS2005?) and I think the compiler and the library is not compatible with perl binaries created using VS6.

        Hi, Your are quite correct in that I am using VS2005. I will check to see if I have a VS6 lying around and I will install it. Will I be able to make an .exe file with my ActiveState PDK that has the inline code incorporated? angel

        Hi

        Well I installed a VB6 on a different computer and
        install the ActiveState Perl and Komodo etc and ran the
        simple "hello world" expamle.

        this is what I get at the end of "out.make" :L

        link: invalid option -- o
        Try `link --help' for more information.
        NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'link' : return code '0x1'
        Stop.

        I spent the better part of this afternoon trying to get
        around this. I have read most of the doc without coming
        to clar understanding of where or how I can get around this.

        All hints welcome.

        Angel

    Hi,

    I also needed to add that I get this complaint at the command line.

    Had problems bootstrapping Inline module 'test_inline_pl_48d2'

    Can't load 'C:\inline\_Inline\lib/auto/test_inline_pl_48d2/test_inline_pl_48d2.dll' for
    module test_inline_pl_48d2: load_file:A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 230.
    at C:/Perl/site/lib/Inline.pm line 500

    at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 0 INIT failed--call queue aborted.

    and that going to the dyanloader.pm line 230 gives this:

    # Many dynamic extension loading problems will appear to come from
    # this section of code: XYZ failed at line 123 of DynaLoader.pm.
    # Often these errors are actually occurring in the initialisation
    # C code of the extension XS file. Perl reports the error as being
    # in this perl code simply because this was the last perl code
    # it executed.
    my $libref = dl_load_file($file, $module->dl_load_flags) or
    croak("Can't load '$file' for module $module: ".dl_error());

    I have only read a bit about XS and most of what i read said to avoid it and use the Inline::C

    Hey! I can be trained!!
