Hi all! I'm absolutely new at extending perl, so please be patient
with my question.
I have some absolutely great C code whose functionality (hardware
control) I'd love to bring to Perl. It has its own very elaborate
Makefile, which I use to produce a C library. For my module, I
wrote its Makefile.PL as:
WriteMakefile(
# the stuff that h2xs normally puts in
'MYEXTLIB' => 'src/my_lib$(LIB_EXT)'
);
sub MY::postamble {
'
$(MYEXTLIB): src/Makefile
cd src && make my_lib$(LIB_EXT)
';
}
would work. But when I test my new spiffy module, it complains
that the method call I made is an unresolved symbol.
So in summary, how does one link a .a file that's not made by
Makefile.PL for the C code?
I apologize for the vagueness of the question, but I'm think
that more details would only obscure the nature of the problem.
