Re: Trouble with SDL-Perl 2.1.3 Build process

Could you send me a list of your OS, the full error message text, and 
the locations you've installed all the libs `locate SDL`?

It looks like it is failing to initialize the list of directories for 
the various libraries on your system.

Hi there,

I am having trouble building SDL Perl 2.1.3.

When I run:

[ 408 ] SDL_Perl-2.1.3 -: perl Build.PL
Checking whether your kit is complete...
Looks good

Checking prerequisites...
Looks good

Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at 
make/lib/SDL/Build.pm
line 154.



I am not sure what is wrong...  here is the offending section of code 
from
make/lib/SDL/Build.pm :

# save this all in a format process_xs() can understand
sub set_flags
{
      my ($self, $subsystems, $build, $defines, $includes, $links,
          $sdl_compile, $sdl_link) = @_;

      my %file_flags;

      while (my ($subsystem, $buildable) = each %$build)
      {
              my $sub_file     = $subsystems->{$subsystem}{file}{to};
              my $sub_includes = join(' ', @{ $includes->{$subsystem} 
} );

              $file_flags{ $sub_file } =
              {
                      extra_compiler_flags =>
                      [
                              @{ $includes->{$subsystem} },
                              split(' ',$sdl_compile),
                              @{ $defines->{$subsystem} },
                              ( defined $Config{usethreads} ?
('-DUSE_THREADS', '-fPIC') : '-fPIC' ),
                      ],
                      extra_linker_flags =>
                      [
                              @{ $links->{$subsystem}{paths} },
                              split(' ',$sdl_link),
### LINE 154 HERE: ####         @{ $links->{$subsystem}{libs} },
                      ],
              },
      }

      $self->notes( 'file_flags' => \%file_flags );
}

I am a novice at Perl and would appreciate any help.. what is wrong?

Thanks alot!
