To build Crypt::Idea we need to add: #define sv_undef PL_sv_undef
to the top of IDEA.xs before trying to compile. from: http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-authors/Lincoln_D_Stein/Crypt-CBC-2.01.readme we get: This is Crypt::CBC, a Perl-only implementation of the cryptographic cipher block chaining mode (CBC). In combination with a block cipher such as Crypt::DES or Crypt::IDEA, you can encrypt and decrypt messages of arbitrarily long length. The encrypted messages are compatible with the encryption format used by B<SSLeay>. Prerequisites ------------- In addition to this module you will need to install the MD5 module, and one or more of the Crypt::DES, Crypt::IDEA, or Crypt::Blowfish modules. 1. MD5 Required for key and iteration vector generation. 2. Crypt::DES Required for the DES encryption algorithm. 3. Crypt::IDEA Required for the IDEA encryption algorithm. 4. Crypt::Blowfish Required for the Blowfish encryption algorithm. You can MD5, Crypt::DES, and Crypt::IDEA on a CPAN near you. Crypt::Blowfish can be found on the Cryptix web site at http://www.cryptix.org/. The Cryptix site also has versions of Crypt::DES and Crypt::IDEA that are slightly different from the CPAN versions. Since these seem to be later versions, I suggest that you download and install the entire Cryptix Perl distribution. In order to get the Crypt:: modules to compile under Perl 5.005 or later, you must add the following line to the DES.xs, IDEA.xs and Blowfish.xs files: #define sv_undef PL_sv_undef For your convenience, a patch file which will bring the Cryptix directory up to date is included in this distribution. It is named cryptix-5.005.patch. Use it like this: % cd Cryptix-1.16 % patch -p1 < ../Crypt-CBC/cryptix-5.005.patch patching file Crypt-Blowfish/Blowfish.xs patching file Crypt-DES/DES.xs patching file Crypt-IDEA/IDEA.xs Then install the Cryptix modules using "perl Makefile.PL; make; make install".
