Subject: Inline::Structs Configuration of LIB and INC are ignored when using structs
Config for Inline C of LIB or INC parameters are ignored if the STRUCT config parameter is stated afterwards. If STRUCT is specified before then the STRUCT parameter is ignored. If stated in the same configuration section then LIB and INC are ignored. OS: HP-UX B.11.11 U 9000/800 Perl: v5.6.1 built for PA-RISC1.1-thread-multi (32bit build) Inline version: Inline-0.44 Inline::Struct version: Inline-Struct-0.06 gcc version: 3.4.3 EXAMPLE 1: The STRUCT configuration is ignored when the following configuration is used. use Inline C => (Config => STRUCTS => ['Cstruct'] ); use Inline C => (Config => BUILD_NOISY => 1, LIBS => '-L/src/libdir1 -L/src/libdir2 -L/src/libdir3 -llib1 -llib2 -llib3', INC => '-I/include/dir1 \ -I/include/dir2 \ -I/include/dir3' ); EXAMPLE 2: The STRUCT is used and the structure methods are properly created, but the LIBS and INC configuration is ignored. use Inline C => (Config => BUILD_NOISY => 1, LIBS => '-L/src/libdir1 -L/src/libdir2 -L/src/libdir3 -llib1 -llib2 -llib3', INC => '-I/include/dir1 \ -I/include/dir2 \ -I/include/dir3' ); use Inline C => (Config => STRUCTS => ['Cstruct'] ); EXAMPLE 3: The STRUCT is used and the structure methods are properly created, but the LIBS and INC configuration is ignored. use Inline C => (Config => BUILD_NOISY => 1, STRUCTS => ['Cstruct'], LIBS => '-L/src/libdir1 -L/src/libdir2 -L/src/libdir3 -llib1 -llib2 -llib3', INC => '-I/include/dir1 \ -I/include/dir2 \ -I/include/dir3' );

***** Actually it is just INC that is ignored and not LIB.

Are you sure about Example 3 ? I can see that Examples 1 and 2 will behave as you say because the second 'use Inline C => Config' overwrites the first - even though (by my reading of 'perldoc Inline') the docs say that won't happen. This can be demonstrated with just: use Inline C => Config => BUILD_NOISY => 1; use Inline C => Config => CLEAN_AFTER_BUILD => 1; A script containing that will not BUILD_NOISY, but a script containing the following will BUILD_NOISY: use Inline C => Config => BUILD_NOISY => 1, CLEAN_AFTER_BUILD => 1; However, Example 3 contains only the one 'use Inline C => Config =>', and I would have expected it to work. Could it be that the backslashes in the INC entry are screwing things up ?

Thanks for the response. I tried far more combinaitions than the 3 that I posted and that includes use Inline C => (Config => BUILD_NOISY => 1, STRUCTS => ['Cstruct'], LIBS => '-L/src/libdir1 -L/src/libdir2 -L/src/libdir3 -llib1 -llib2 -llib3', INC => '-I/include/dir1 -I/include/dir2 -I/include/dir3' ); I did note that to list Libraries on different lines I should not include the '\'. If I do I get... Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored: '\' But if omit the '\' from the INC parameter I get an error. Regardless the example above does not work. But if I remove the STRUCTS config then the INC parameter is used. However, what does work is the following... use Inline C => (Config => BUILD_NOISY => 1, STRUCTS => ['Cstruct'], LIBS => '-L/src/libdir1 -L/src/libdir2 -L/src/libdir3 -llib1 -llib2 -llib3', CCFLAGS => '-I/include/dir1 \ -I/include/dir2 \ -I/include/dir3' );

Since Inline::Struct is very buggy and has not been updated since 2001 (see http://grokbase.com/t/perl/inline/06ac69a1mx/how-to-use-inline-structs ), is there any reason to leave this ticket open anymore?

Inline::Structs is old, buggy and not used - currently irrelevant
