Sorry for the necroposting, but I found out a new way to build a native code library to be used by a Raku module. Using Distribution::Builder::MakeFromJSON one can configure the native library building by adding some sections to the META6.json file, without using LibraryMake and its Build.pm

It seems that the problem I was having with prove6 was due to zef not realizing there is a new version of the module. On Mon, Dec 23, 2019 at 4:51 PM Fernando Santagata < nando.santag...@gmail.com> wrote: > I hope that zef tests a distribution using both .t and .rakutest > extensions, because

I hope that zef tests a distribution using both .t and .rakutest extensions, because there is no --verbose option to let one see what's happening. BTW I raised one issue on App::Mi6, because its dist.ini file doesn't allow a module to end with .rakumod, and one on App:prove6, because the prove6

With the name change to Raku, has anyone considered a naming suffix policy for modules? I don't have a problem with .pm6, and I don't want to cause an outbreak of bikeshedding, but some might consider it inconsistent. As an aside, I deplore the practice of identifying the language of a directly

Hi David, Thank you for replying! LibraryMake looked ancient to me for its use of a .pm file, instead of a .pm6, so I asked if there was anything newer. The quantity of Raku modules is not remotely comparable to Perl's, yet there's something new each week and I may have failed to notice something

Hi Fernando, I'm still in the habit of using LibraryMake. E.g. for https://github.com/p6-xml/LibXML-raku released in this last few months. Regards, David On Sun, Dec 22, 2019 at 7:47 AM Fernando Santagata < nando.santag...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > What can I use to help building native

Hello, What can I use to help building native code for a Raku module? Is LibraryMake still the preferred method or there's something else to use nowadays? Thanks! -- Fernando Santagata
