Hello,
following the recent discussions I gave GD.pm another try. The build
environment is the following:
Perl 5.8.0 (including patch to allow extension building)
OpenVMS 7.3
Compaqc C 6.5
Libgd 2.0.1
Libpng 1.2.2
Zlib 1.1.4
Freetype 2.1.0
Jpeglib 6B
and GD.pm 2.0.1
Following the discussions here I came up with the following patch to
Makefile.PL to add at least some level of support for OpenVMS from the
start (you still need to define the lib_root and pubbin logicals to
carter for the local environment, but at least you should have an idea
were to start with this patch...). I do want to propose this change to
Lincoln Stein, but wanted to get feedback from the group first it this
looks sensible at all.
Also with the versions noted above still the problem with a corrupt
descrip.mms created does persist. What happens is that as soon as you
have @INC defined the /include for CC gets garbled, i.e. of the normal
contents of @INC only perl_root:[lib.vms_axp.5_8_0] survives followed by
two comas and the the contents of @INC as set in Makefile.PL. Does anybody
have a fix for this already?
Greetings, Martin
