Re^2: Devel::CheckLib problem

Between your suggested change to _findcc() and Chris Marshall's suggestion, I've arrived at:

sub _findcc {
    my @flags = @Config{qw(ccflags ldflags)};
    @flags = grep { length } map { quotewords('\s+', 1,$_) } @flags;

That works pretty well. There's now just the one failing test in the Devel::CheckLib test suite:

t/multi-word-compiler.........Subroutine STORE redefined at C:/_32/ap1
+005/lib/Config_heavy.pl line 1177.
Set up gcc environment - 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)
%Config::Config is read-only
# Looks like your test died before it could output anything.
t/multi-word-compiler.........dubious
        Test returned status 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00)
DIED. FAILED test 1
        Failed 1/1 tests, 0.00% okay
[download]

Looks like STORE gets redefined to a form that we don't want. I think the error is in response to the following line in t/multi-word-compiler.t:

$Config{cc} = "$^X $Config{cc}";
[download]

Needless to say, 'perl -Mblib t/multi-word-compiler.t' passes the test :-))))


C:\_32\comp\Devel-CheckLib-0.91>perl -Mblib t/multi-word-compiler.t
1..1
Set up gcc environment - 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)
ok 1 - Good multi-word compiler is OK

I'd try replacing `$Config{cc} = "$^X $Config{cc}";` with `$Config{cc} = $^X . ' ' . $Config{cc};`. That's based on nothing more than guesswork as I didn't actually download the whole package, just the .pm file. (You'd already said most of the tests failed:) I'm fascinated by the /blib thing. Does it work if you load some other inconsequential module; say bytes or less or maybe just strict? I've got this niggle in the back of my head. Something about adding coderefs to @INC or %INC, I forget the dtails. Maybe putting something (anything) in those stops some too-clever-by-half piece of code getting invoked? Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

I'd try replacing `$Config{cc} = "$^X $Config{cc}";` with `$Config{cc} = $^X . ' ' . $Config{cc};` Doesn't help, unfortunately. It was also suggested I try making $Config{cc} local to that test script, but that changes nothing. Does it work if you load some other inconsequential module; say bytes or less or maybe just strict? Nup - has to be 'blib'. The script already loads strict.pm, and I did try out 'less' and 'bytes' ... to no avail. (There may of course be some module other than 'blib' that has the same effect.) I probably ought to take a look at blib and see what it's doing. Perhaps, therein, lies the clue. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]
