So I can build XS libraries using MPW & MrC and they'll work with your released binary build of MacPerl 5.6.1? I ask this because I've built some (very simple) XS with MPW and a lot of cutting and pasting from http://www.macperl.com/depts/Tutorials/XS/mpxstut.html (which looks like about the best resource I can find) and I'd like to keep doing so. 2 questions: 1) Is there a more up-to-date 'how to do XS with MacPerl5.6.1' resource, and 2) Has anyone compiled GD for 5.6.1 yet? I looked on cpan and the macperl porters page but I can only see 5.004 builds, which doesn't work with 5.6.1 AIUI.[1] I've built GD on Unixish systems a fair few times, but I think building it (and libgd) on MacOS might be beyond me for now. I mean, I'm happy to have an attempt but I don't know how successful I'd be. P [1] Or rather, I understand the API changed, so that things need to be rebuilt for 5.6.1, and indeed GD 1.19 from macperl porters gave this error: # Can't load 'Programs:Programming:Perl5.6.1:site_perl:MacPPC:auto:GD:GD' for module GD: DynaLoader error [-2807, Perl--Perl_markstack_max]. File 'Programs:Programming:Perl5.6.1:lib:DynaLoader.pm'; Line 206 # Compilation failed in require. File 'Untitled'; Line 4 # BEGIN failed--compilation aborted. File 'Untitled'; Line 4 which is to be expected.
