Hello List,
I recently took over maintenance of Crypt-SSLeay. Today I downloaded
Strawberry Perl to see whether it could build the module or not. Turns
out there are a couple of problems, and I need some advice.
Thanks for taking this on. My compiler-fu is weak, but I'll answer
what I can. (Scary that I'm the packager, isn't it!)
Thanks for the pronpt reply!
I assume I want MinGW. In the Makefile.PL, what is the orthodox way to
determine whether I'm running under Strawberry Perl from within a Perl
script (e.g. Makefile.PL)? I had a look through config_sh, but nothing
leaps out at me. The idea to be that under SP, I'll look for libraries
in c:\openssl\lib\mingw.
I think you want to use Config and check $Config{cc}. For
Vanilla/Strawberry and other MinGW builds, that should be "gcc".
So,
$^O eq 'Win32' and $Config{cc} eq 'gcc'
would be a suitable conditional?
Mainly because it has appears to attempt to link against the AS Perl
that is also installed on the machine. And in any event, I don't see the
ssleay32.a library referenced in the build of libraries.
What order are they in $ENV{PATH}?
Bingo! AS is listed before SP. I assume this would occur quite
frequently out in the wild. What should I do?
Regards,
David
