Subject: Automated testing failure
what is the best practice for dealing
with binary modules which depend on third party librarys? wget? die? exit
0?
Not sure what the best practice is, but the common practice is to have
Devel::CheckLib handle the checking for the presence of the 3rd party
library.
In the event that the 3rd party library cannot be located I think you want
the 'perl Makefile.pl' process to 'exit 0' - or you could perhaps set things
up so that the 3rd party lib is then fetched via Alien:: , in which case the
build can then go ahead.
Cheers,
Rob
