[Note: I'm not on this list, and will most likely forget all about this in
the next week or so.]
My Linux system is a bit strange in that I try to put all
libraries/applications that use X under /usr/X11R6 (I'm strange).
This caused SDL_Perl-2.1.2 to give me that annoying bug:
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at make/lib/SDL/Build.pm
line 154.
This is the patch that I use locally.
It serves two parts:
1) Shows how to add new paths when you too have libraries in strange places
(the adding of the SDL directory)
2) Exposes a bug in GL and smpeg handling within SDL_Perl:
* GL headers are supposed to be included as <GL/foo.h>, not <foo.h> (so
no need to look for an include/GL directory)
* smpeg.h is included as smpeg.h in Build.PL, but smpeg/smpeg.h in the .xs
(so no need to look for an include/smpeg directory)
Cheers,
mrc
