| Subject: | wrong guess for -lperl if it is not libperl.so on UNIX |
| CC: | mschwern [...] cpan.org |
I have perl-5.8.2 on Solaris 7 (Sparc), compiled with gcc-3.2.3 and
ithreads and a shared libperl with non-standard name (mine is
libperlifx.so).
I noticed ExtUtils::Embed does not use the correct name. The patch
below works fine here, and should be generic enough to works
elsewhere. Pity that lib_ext and dlext are not consistent: the first
includes the dot, the second not.
Best regards,
Marek
