I am running through the h2xs tutorial, example 4
(www.perl.com/pub/doc/manual/html/pod/perlxstut.html) which shows how
to write an XSUB to interact with a user-generated library.
However, it fails when nmake tries to build the library.
Due to a previous issue (see my last posting), and thanks to Ian's analysis
and suggestions, I ended up modifying Config.pm (with backup in place of
original) to change all occurences of "Program Files" to "Progra~1". I
also specified where to find Perl directly in the Makefile, namely adding
this info as the first line in the file:
PERL => "$^X"
These actions corrected the problem. I mention this because now it seems
that it might be related to what's occuring now.
When I ran Makefile.PL, here's a warning message that followed:
Using PERL=C:\Progra~1\Perl\bin\perl

[...and so on ]
It did finish, however, so I ran nmake. The library I'm trying to build is
located in the subdirectory mylib. When I typed "nmake", I got the
following error when it tried to build the library:
mkdir blib
[and so on down the tree...]
mkdir blib\lib\auto
mkdir \blib\lib\auto\Mytest2
cp Mytest2.pm blib\lib\Mytest2.pm
Autosplitting blib\lib\Mytest2\.pm (blib\lib\auto/Mytest2)
mylib\libmylib.lib: .. mylib\Makefile
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
NMAKE: fatal error U1077: 'mylib\libmylib.lib:' : return code '0x1'
Stop.
Here's the Mytest2/Makefile.PL:
Perl => "$^X";
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
$Verbose = 3;
# See lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm for details of how to influence
# the contents of the Makefile that is written.
WriteMakefile(
'NAME' => 'Mytest2',
'VERSION_FROM' => 'Mytest2.pm', # finds $VERSION
'PREREQ_PM' => {}, # e.g., Module::Name => 1.1
'LIBS' => [''], # e.g., '-lm'
'DEFINE' => '', # e.g., '-DHAVE_SOMETHING'
'INC' => '', # e.g., '-I/usr/include/other'
'MYEXTLIB' => 'mylib\libmylib$(LIB_EXT)',
);
sub MY::postamble {
'
$(MYEXTLIB): mylib/Makefile
cd mylib && $(MAKE) $(PASTHRU)
';
}
When I run the same sequence on UNIX, I get past this point so the issue is
definitely ActivePerl/NT etc. related. Any suggestions would be
appreciated. I did play around with specifying the path to the library
directory directly (C:\...) but that got the same message, just with the
full path specified. I also checked docs on MakeMaker and Make but
everything seems to be correct.
Thanks,
Judy
