Hi all. I got to write some little explanation on how use Net::SSH::Perl modules on win32 (cygwin). I'm not a C guru so these explanations are destinated to people like me that don't want to spend days to make a simple thing works. First) to help future use of this modules and second) to help other people that want to build the Math::Pari modules which is require for that. Some stranges things does not allow the command 'perl -MCPAN -e "install Net::SSH::Perl"' to build all the modules dependencies. So the best way is to install manually the requires modules that make some difficulties. To install Math::GMP you need the libgmp, so obtain it from <http://www.swox.com/gmp/> it may compile "out of the box" check that the required libraries are in place after make install. after that the 'perl -MCPAN -e "install Math::GMP"' is ok. To install Math::Pari - Download fron CPAN and get Math-Pari-2.001804 or from the autor ftp-site ftp://ftp.math.ohio-state.edu/pub/users/ilya/perl/modules/ and get Math-Pari-2.010005.tar.gz which is newer. and expand it 'tar xzf Math-Pari*tar.gz' 'cd Math-Pari*tar.gz' DO NOT RUN 'perl Makefile.PL' at this time. that will automatiquely get pari-2.1.1 sources and expand it But it gona execute some other scripts to configure your system and may not does the desired things. so you'd better get: ftp://www.gn-50uma.de/gn/gn-50uma.de/pari-2.1/pari-2.1.1.tar.gz expand it 'tar xzf pari-2.1.1.tar.gz' then 'cp pari-2.1.1/Odos/paricfg.h libPARI' so you got a "working" paricfg.h so far... so good. now edit the Makefile.PL and remove all the "-lgnuplot" around, cause the build does not require gnuplot and I've lost so long time to find on the net a F....g libgnuplot that fit ! then type 'perl Makefile.PL' to generate the 2 Makefiles. for Pari and libPari. then change to libPARI I don't know why but this part of the libPARI/Makefile.PL does not produce the expected output. ----- @cfiles = <$main_paridir/src/*/*.c>; @cfiles = grep !/\/(plot|ix86|version|mpin|dummy|gp_rl|gp\.)/, @cfiles; map s/^\Q$main_paridir/\$(PARI_DIR)/, @cfiles; %cfiles = map {m,/([^/.]*)\.c$,i; ($1,$_)} @cfiles; ----- it may generate a list of all the desired '.c' files of the source tree but it miss "src/gp/gp.c"... is that a mistyped script or a bug in the cygwin perl interpreter ? Anyway at this time edit the generated Makefile and add the missing gp.c reference in four place first here in the OBJECT section OBJECT = alglin2$(OBJ_EXT) ... gp_init$(OBJ_EXT) gp$(OBJ_EXT) buch2$(OBJ_EXT) ^^^^^^^^^^^^ then here C_FILES = $(PARI_DIR)/src/basemath/alglin1.c \ $(PARI_DIR)/src/basemath/alglin2.c \ ... $(PARI_DIR)/src/gp/gp_init.c \ $(PARI_DIR)/src/gp/gp.c \ <<<<< add this line $(PARI_DIR)/src/gp/highlvl.c \ then here O_FILES = $(PARI_DIR)/src/basemath/alglin1.o \ $(PARI_DIR)/src/basemath/alglin2.o \ ... $(PARI_DIR)/src/gp/gp_init.o \ $(PARI_DIR)/src/gp/gp.o \ <<<<< add this line $(PARI_DIR)/src/gp/highlvl.o \ and here gp_init$(OBJ_EXT): $(PARI_DIR)/src/gp/gp_init.c pariinl.h paricfg.h $(CCCMD) $(CCCDLFLAGS) $(DEFINE) -o $@ $(PARI_DIR)/src/gp/gp_init.c >>>>> add the next two lines gp$(OBJ_EXT): $(PARI_DIR)/src/gp/gp.c pariinl.h paricfg.h $(CCCMD) $(CCCDLFLAGS) $(DEFINE) -o $@ $(PARI_DIR)/src/gp/gp.c after that make; make test; make install then 'perl -MCPAN -e "install Net::SSH::Perl"' will just install automaticly good luck to all. -- DominiX -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
