The .xsi is just something used by the .xs and does not need to be
converted into anything.
The following rules in your descrip.mms should take care of it:
# --- MakeMaker xs_c section:
.xs.c :
$(XSUBPP) $(XSPROTOARG) $(XSUBPPARGS) $(MMS$TARGET_NAME).xs
>$(MMS$TARGET)
# --- MakeMaker xs_o section:
.xs$(OBJ_EXT) :
$(XSUBPP) $(XSPROTOARG) $(XSUBPPARGS) $(MMS$TARGET_NAME).xs
>$(MMS$TARGET_NAME).c
$(CCCMD) $(CCCDLFLAGS) $(MMS$TARGET_NAME).c
My guess is that you are running into a case sensitivity problem.
You could try changing the rule from
.xs.c
to
.xs.C
Probably the easiest thing to do is wipe out the directory and unpack
the DBI archive again, forcing ODS-2 style (and uppercase) names like
so:
$ vmstar -xovf DBI-1_51.tar
I think there is an MMS bug here in that it can't preserve case but
is sometimes (when applying implicit rules) case sensitive. You
could also try MMK instead.
