Re^2: Inline::C with multiple *.c

Thanks, your syntax does seem much cleaner and more intuitive.

However, I just stumbled across another odd problem. I just changed my b.c so that it calls a function from a.c. Since a.c is built first, it generates a DLL (I'm doing this on Windows under Strawberry Perl). Next, when building b.c, it has to be linked against the first DLL. But I can't specify that in the config section above because it's common to all Inline::C files and clearly that DLL does not yet exist when compiling/linking a.c.

Any suggestions?

Any suggestions? You can use http://perldoc.perl.org/perlapi.html#Callback-Functions like call_pv to call the perl version of a function It helps if you skip the script concept and create modules (namespace other than main ) -- see Inline#Writing Modules with Inline Otherwise I think you'll have to create commonlib and link both a.c and b.c against it IIRC it is possible to manually manipulate modname.def so that you can link with -lmodname and call the c versions, but not without modifying Inline::C -- this might help (never used it) Module::CAPIMaker - Provide a C API for your XS modules Also curious Re: How to use C Libraries in Perl Script?, ExtUtils::Depends - Easily build XS extensions that depend on XS extensions, InlineX::XS - Auto-convert Inline::C based modules to XS, InlineX::C2XS	[reply]

IIRC it is possible to manually manipulate modname.def so that you can link with -lmodname and call the c versions, but not without modifying Inline::C -- this might help (never used it) Module::CAPIMaker - Provide a C API for your XS modules
