There is no such thing :) http://search.cpan.org/~mbarbon/ExtUtils-XSpp-0.1602/lib/ExtUtils/XSpp.pod#OVERVIEW says XS++ is just a thin layer over plain XS, hence to use it you are supposed to know, at the very least, C++ and XS. So read the perlxstut, whatever c++ tuts, then follow the examples, that come with http://search.cpan.org/dist/ExtUtils-XSpp/MANIFEST, and the other ones	[reply]

A tutorial would be nice. Here is what I've done. `h2xs -A -n Bitcoin::Address added #include <bitcoin/address.hpp> to Address.xs building the project blows up spectacularly, cc can't handle hpp files.` [download] Running xspp does nothing, there are no files for it to work with. We are cpp novices, but proficient in c and xs.	[reply] [d/l]

What part of "blows up spectacularly" are you having trouble with? cc can't parse headers meant to be pares by cpp, it's plain wrong to even try. Knowing that I've the wrong tutorial(for C using h2xs) is only half the battle. We are asking for the XSpp tutorial for novice, given that there is no hpp2xs. Looking for a fill in the blanks boilerplate, the example with animals and dogs is too beefed up. It's not explained what can and can't be purged or what to do to get started with your own project. One note is that it does not interface with any library.	[reply]

Need ExtUtils::Typemap as argument ExtUtils::Typemap is a wrapper around ExtUtils::Typemaps which a part of ExtUtils::ParseXS. The name was changed to prevent collisions on case-insensitive systems. In order to use ExtUtils::Typemap, there are a few non-core dependencies that need to be installed: `#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use CPAN; use CPAN::Shell->install(qw( install Spiffy ExtUtils::Typemap ExtUtils::Typemaps::Default));` [download] Try that, then give it another shot.

In order to use ExtUtils::Typemap, there are a few non-core dependencies that need to be installed: And Spiffy isn't one of them -- cpan does a bangup job of figuring out dependencies on its own, it doesn't really need any help	[reply]

No. I suggest that you do some more research. You undershot the runway:). Spiffy is a dependency of ExtUtils::XSpp.	[reply]

No. I suggest that you do some more research. You undershot the runway:). Spiffy is a dependency of ExtUtils::XSpp. What more research? Shall I quote your own words for you again? Ok, you said In order to use ExtUtils::Typemap, there are a few non-core dependencies that need to be installed: ExtUtils::XSpp is not ExtUtils::Typemap, and Spiffy is not a dependency of ExtUtils::Typemap cpan doesn't need help figuring out dependencies, core or otherwise -- this is what the utility is all about All your spiffy program does is make folks think perl/cpan must be really FUBARed that you need to write a program to install some module when you don't, since `cpan ExtUtils::Typemap` installs everything required Btw, 1297 nodes and you're still replying to yourself?
