Inline-Support - Support Information for Inline.pm and related modules.
This document contains all of the latest support information for Inline.pm
and the recognized Inline Language Support Modules (ILSMs) available on CPAN.
The most important language that Inline supports is C
. That is because Perl
itself is written in C
. By giving a your Perl scripts access to C
, you
in effect give them access to the entire glorious internals of Perl. (Caveat
scriptor :-)
As of this writing, Inline also supports:
Projects that I would most like to see happen in the year 2001 are:
Inline::C
should work anywhere that CPAN extension modules (those that use
XS) can be installed, using the typical install format of:
perl Makefile.PL make make test make install
It has been tested on many Unix and Windows variants.
NOTE: Inline::C
requires Perl 5.005 or higher because
Parse::RecDescent
requires it. (Something to do with the qr
operator)
Inline has been successfully tested at one time or another on the following platforms:
The Microsoft tests deserve a little more explanation. I used the following:
Inline::C
pulls all of its base configuration (including which make
utility to use) from Config.pm
. Since your MSWin32 version of Perl probably
came from ActiveState (as a binary distribution) the Config.pm
will
indicate that nmake
is the system's make
utility. That is because
ActiveState uses Visual C++ to compile Perl.
To install Inline.pm
(or any other CPAN module) on MSWin32 w/ Visual C++,
use these:
perl Makefile.PL nmake nmake test nmake install
Inline has also been made to work with Mingw32/gcc on all Windows platforms. This is a free compiler for Windows. You must also use a perl built with that compiler.
The ``Cygwin'' test was done on a Windows 98 machine using the Cygwin Unix/Win32
porting layer software from Cygnus. The perl
binary on this machine was
also compiled using the Cygwin tool set (gcc
). This software is freely
available from http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
If you get Inline to work on a new platform, please send me email email. If it doesn't work, let me know as well and I'll see what can be done.
