Interesting problems on Mac OS X 10.3

[Christian Renz]

Hi all,
has anybody tried to install SDL on Mac OS X lately? I'm running into a 
lot of problems...

I have SDL version 1.2.7 installed as well as the newest version of 
Module::Build (I upgraded that as soon as I encountered problems).

Here's what is going on:
$ perl Build.PL
Checking whether your kit is complete...
Looks good
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at 
make/lib/SDL/Build.pm line 154.

Turns out that in set_flags in that file, $links looks like this:
$links = {
          'SDL' => {
                     'paths' => []
                   },
          'SFont' => {
                       'paths' => []
                     },
          'OpenGL' => {
                        'paths' => [
                                     
'-L/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/Libraries'
                                   ],
                        'libs' => [
                                    '-lGLU',
                                    '-lGL'
                                  ]
                      }
        };

So I added the following code before the while loop:
        $links->{SDL}{libs} = [];
        $links->{SFont}{libs} = [];
        $defines->{SDL} = [];
        $defines->{SFont} = [];
Now, Build.PL runs fine. Of course, this is just a rather dirty 
workaround…

Next step:
$ ./Build
(...)
cc -I/System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE 
-I/opt/local/include/SDL -D_THREAD_SAFE -DUSE_THREADS -fPIC -c -g -pipe 
-pipe -fno-common -DPERL_DARWIN -no-cpp-precomp -fno-strict-aliasing 
-I/usr/local/include -Os -o src/SDL/SFont.o src/SDL/SFont.c
src/SDL/SFont.xs:18:17: SDL.h: No such file or directory
In file included from src/SDL/SFont.xs:27:
src/SFont.h:11:17: SDL.h: No such file or directory
In file included from src/SDL/SFont.xs:27:
src/SFont.h:21: error: parse error before "SDL_Surface"
(...)

Just for fun, I run cc directly (copy+paste):
$ cc -I/System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE 
-I/opt/local/include/SDL -D_THREAD_SAFE -DUSE_THREADS -fPIC -c -g -pipe 
-pipe -fno-common -DPERL_DARWIN -no-cpp-precomp -fno-strict-aliasing 
-I/usr/local/include -Os -o src/SDL/SFont.o src/SDL/SFont.c

No problems here.
Next try:
$ ./Build
ExtUtils::Mkbootstrap::Mkbootstrap('src/SDL/SFont')
env 
LD_RUN_PATH=/System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE 
env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 cc -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup 
-L/usr/local/lib -o blib/arch/auto/SDL/SFont/SFont.bundle 
src/SDL/SFont.o -L/opt/local/lib -lSDLmain -lSDL -framework Cocoa 
-framework OpenGL
ld: warning -L: directory name (/opt/local/lib -lSDLmain -lSDL 
-framework Cocoa -framework OpenGL) does not exist
(...)

Huh? Probably some quoting issue makes ld think that everything after 
the last "-L" is one directory name. Again, copy+paste+return, thus 
running ld by hand, works. Same goes on for a few times, until Build 
does nothing anymore. Build test then fails because of undefined 
library files.

What's going on here?
Thanks for your help,
   Christian
