Re^3: XS build error

Your comment are very plausible. Sorry for my late answer but I had flu the last 2 days and was in my bed :/

Normaly I use perl on my FreeBSD computers, windows are also virgin territory for me. Here is the output of your commands:

I'll test a work around with manual change the Makefile, but this is only temporary. Can I install the VC and MakeMaker try to use it without any config changes?

Using ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.56, I get the same results as you.

You have EU-MM-6.56, which is not the version of EU::MM that shipped with your ActivePerl. Sure enough, if I update EU::MM to version 6.56 on AS build 1006 (which is the same build of perl as you have) I get the same error as you. Simplest way to fix this would be to resort to the original version of EU::MM that shipped with build 1006 - and the easiest way to do that would be to just re-install ActivePerl "on top of" the existing perl installation. Then check that the version you have is reported as "6.55_02" (which, I think, might be different to the version 6.55_02 that's on CPAN). If it still reports 6.56, then we have to try and work out where that version 6.56 is located, and why it is being found instead of the version that ships with ActivePerl. Cheers, Rob	[reply]

Yes, that works fine. But now I've the first error. Is it link error while it use the false linker from VC?

Re^6: XS build error by syphilis (Archbishop) on Jan 07, 2010 at 12:13 UTC
undefined reference to `boot_Device__Modem__Protocol__Zmodem' What does (the generated) Zmodem.def contain ? It should contain something like: `EXPORTS boot_Device__Modem__Protocol__Zmodem _boot_Device__Modem__Protocol__Zmodem = boot_Device__Modem__Protocol +__Zmodem` [download] I think it's the Zmodem.xs file that determines the contents of the def file, so if the def file is wrong, it's probably a mistake in Zmodem.xs. (This stuff is case-sensitive, so pay attention to that aspect.) Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]
