Doesn't work for me :-( I have:
'installbin' => '/usr/bin',
'installsitebin' => '/usr/bin',
'installvendorbin' => '/usr/bin',
'installscript' => '/usr/bin/core_perl',
'installprivlib' => '/usr/share/perl5/core_perl',
'installsitescript' => '/usr/bin/site_perl',
$ ls /usr/bin/xsubpp
ls: cannot access /usr/bin/xsubpp: No such file or directory
$ ls /usr/bin/core_perl/xsubpp
/usr/bin/core_perl/xsubpp
The worst part is it tells me I need to configure with --with-perl.
Seems it complaining that it couldn't find xsubpp, I did configure
with perl!
Normally it uses the one in /usr/share/perl5/core_perl/ExtUtils/xsubpp.
Also it looks like it uses the wrong typemap file, still uses the one
from privlib.
So then I tried to install the newer ExtUtils::ParseXS to see where it
installed xsubpp for me. It reports:
...
Installing /usr/share/perl5/site_perl/ExtUtils/xsubpp
....
Installing /usr/bin/site_perl/xsubpp
Looking at its makefile looks like installs xsubpp into
installsitescript. Seems install(site|vendor)bin is quite right :-(.
ExtUtils searches @INC, privlibexp maybe we should do that?
ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm:
# line 3456
sub tool_xsubpp {
....
my @xsubpp_dirs = @INC;
# Make sure we pick up the new xsubpp if we're building perl.
unshift @xsubpp_dirs, $self->{PERL_LIB} if $self->{PERL_CORE};
foreach my $dir (@xsubpp_dirs) {
$xsdir = $self->catdir($dir, 'ExtUtils');
if( -r $self->catfile($xsdir, "xsubpp") ) {
last;
}
}
