in reply to Inline::C produces compilation errors

Hi holandes777,

use Inline C => Config => LIBS => '-libhasp_linux.a';
That should be: 
use Inline C => Config => LIBS => '-lhasp_linux';

[download]
and if it still can't find the library then you'll need to also provide the fully qualified location of libhasp_linux.a. 
use Inline C => Config => LIBS => '-L/full/path/to/library -lhasp_linu
+x';

However, your immediate problem seems to be that your compiler doesn't like the C file that xsubpp is creating.

Which version of perl are you running ? ... are you using the compiler that was used to build your perl ?

One thing you could do is to install ExtUtils::ParseXS and see if that helps. (That should mean that ExtUtils::ParseXS will write the C file, but I don't know whether that will make any difference.)

Update: I was just wondering whether Inline::C built and installed ok for you (passing all tests). Seems to me that, with errors like you're getting, make test should have produced numerous failures.

Cheers,
Rob

    I am running v5.8.6 and it comes straight off the FC4 CDs. I did not compile with this compiler so I am going to have to learn that skill.
     
    I guess using sledgehammers in perl does not work huh? (dang)
     
    Another weekend of fun with perl. Thanks for the tip. I should have thought of it.

      I did not compile with this compiler...

      I don't know if that's the problem - it's just something that strikes me as a possible cause of the errors you're getting.

      If, when building Inline, make test ran without reporting any failures, then I would venture to suggest it's *not* the problem. If you didn't actualy build Inline yourself from source (eg you installed an rpm), try building Inline from source and see what make test produces.

      Cheers,
      Rob

        I followed you suggestion downloading and installing perl 5.8.8. from source. I then tried to install Inline-0.44 and got the list of error messages shown below.
         
        I checked a few of the ".so" files it says it "Had problems bootstrapping Inline module" and they were there. Example:
        t/01syntax.....Uncaught exception from user code:
        Had problems bootstrapping Inline module '_01syntax_t_6b3a'

        [download]
        When I go to the directory and do a listing it is there:
        [root@FC4-Casinfo Inline-0.44]# ls -l /CASINFO/packages/Inline-0.44/C/

        There is precious little useful in google regarding this except for cpan tester results
         
        Any ideas??
