Compiling modules for Windows?
|
|
|
I need to create a Perl module for use under Windows (I think I know
how to do it for linux). Are there any tutorials? Can I use Openwatcom
as the C compiler? Can I use Cygwin as the C compiler (I think I need
to create a dll) ?
Any pointers would be great, thanks.

Same process for both Windows and linux:
perl Makefile.PL
make test
make install
However, you generally need to replace "make" (in the above commands) with
whatever 'perl -V:make' reports.

Cygwin's compiler (gcc) will be quite satisfactory iff you're using Cygwin
perl.
Generally, you need to use the compiler that 'perl -V:cc' reports.
However, if 'perl -V:cc' reports 'cl' and you don't have Microsoft's Visual
Studio, you could install (in order) 'dmake' (from
http://search.cpan.org/dist/dmake/ ), MinGW (from
http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml ), and ExtUtils::FakeConfig (from
http://search.cpan.org/~mbarbon/ExtUtils-FakeConfig-0.06/ ) and build the
module with:
perl -MConfig_m Makefile.PL
dmake test
dmake install
Or, if you have ActiveState perl build 815 or 817 (or later), there's
probably no need for ExtUtils::FakeConfig. Just install MinGW and dmake, and
run:
perl Makefile.PL
dmake test
dmake install
If you have ActiveState build 816, replace it with build 817. You can check
by running:
perl -e "print $ActivePerl::VERSION"
If you need to reply, could you please provide the output of 'perl -V' so
that we can see the details of your perl.
(Yet another alternative ... if you want to use 'cl' but don't have it, you
can download a free command line version of Visual Studio from Microsoft.
Not sure of how much milage you get, and I don't have details at hand -
though someone else may well provide them. In any case you should be able to
Google up something ... or check the Readme.win32 in the perl source. Imho,
the 'dmake/MinGW' path is preferable - easier installation and uses the same
runtime as ActiveState's compiler.)
Cheers,
Rob |
