Greetings,
The Makefile.PL in the Perl::X11::GUITest tarball does not properly
support 64-bit paths. It is hardcoded to always produce the following
in the derived Makefile:
# X11::GUITest might depend on some other libraries:
# See ExtUtils::Liblist for details
#
EXTRALIBS = -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXtst -lXext -lX11
LDLOADLIBS = -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXtst -lXext -lX11
BSLOADLIBS =
LD_RUN_PATH = /usr/X11R6/lib
For 64-bit Linux systems, this should instead be:
# X11::GUITest might depend on some other libraries:
# See ExtUtils::Liblist for details
#
EXTRALIBS = -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -lXtst -lXext -lX11
LDLOADLIBS = -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 -lXtst -lXext -lX11
BSLOADLIBS =
LD_RUN_PATH = /usr/X11R6/lib64
I have attached a modified Makefile.PL which shows a way to deal with
it. I have tested it on 32-bit and 64-bit Linux and also on MacOS
Leopard. Feel free to use or discard as you see fit.
