Bug #119286 for Math-GSL: Compile problem with GNU GSL in non-standard location

Dear maintainers, There seems to be a problem with compiling Math::GSL 0.39 when GNU GSL is installed in a non-standard location. I have the current GNU GSL in an NFS mount in a location outside the /usr tree. When configuring (perl Build.PL), gsl-config is found. However the information about include paths is later lost by Build.PL. If I change "$ldflags" to "$ccflags" at the end of line 352 of Build.PL, compilation works and all tests pass. Best regards, Bernt Guldbrandtsen

I am lost. Can you please point the line you are changing at https://metacpan.org/source/LETO/Math-GSL-0.39/Build.PL because line 359 doesn't make much sense :-) Thanks

Sorry, neither 352 nor 359. The change is to line 73, which should (I think) be: $ccflags = $Config{cccdlflags} . ' ' . $ccflags; Show quoted text

Yep, it looks like a bug to me. Will prepare a patch and wait for Leto to validate the change. Thanks Show quoted text
