Marvin Humphrey commented on LUCY-215:
--------------------------------------
So, zapping Lucy::Build::CBuilder would have the effect of requiring
ExtUtils::CBuilder 0.26_04 for MSVC builds on Windows. This definitely
doesn't seem like a reason to bump the minimum required version of either Perl
or ExtUtils::CBuilder for everyone.
IMO this is OK so long as we throw a sensible error informing affected users
that they need to upgrade.
{noformat}
use ExtUtils::CBuilder;
# ExtUtils::CBuilder#link_executable not implemented for Windows until
# version 0.26_04.
if ( $ExtUtils::CBuilder::Version < 0.2604 and $^O =~ /mswin/i ) {
confess("Version 0.26_04 of ExtUtils::CBuilder is required for "
. "your system." );
}

> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Clownfish
> Reporter: Nick Wellnhofer
> Assignee: Nick Wellnhofer

>
> Currently, all Lucy extensions that contain C code must be shipped with the
> Lucy source tree. In order to support external C-based extensions, Clownfish
> must be able to compile .cfh files that extend classes from a separate source
> tree. As discussed on the mailing list, a solution could look like this:
> * Install the .cfh files together with Lucy.
> * When building the extension, rebuild the complete Clownfish hierarchy
> together with the new classes.
> * Generate C headers, regenerating the headers for Lucy's core classes.
> * Compile the extension.
