Bug #21385 for ExtUtils-FakeConfig: $Config{ld}

Thu Sep 07 20:34:46 2006 sisyphus1 [...] optusnet.com.au - Ticket created

Subject:	$Config{ld}
Date:	Fri, 8 Sep 2006 10:30:26 +1000

From:	"Sisyphus" <sisyphus1 [...] optusnet.com.au>

On MinGW-built perl $Config{ld} is set to 'g++'. This has always worked fine for me - I have never found a need to alter it to 'gcc'. However, EU::FC sets $Config{ld} to 'gcc'. This works most of the time but, to build Inline::CPP (and probably some other modules as well), I have to change $Config{ld} to 'g++'. My suggestion is that EU::FC simply follows the lead set by MinGW and assigns 'g++' to $Config{ld}. Cheers, Rob

Agreed and done in 0.08 (it was 'gcc' because Perl used it back in 2000...). Regards Mattia
