Subject: Inline::C doesn't find c compiler with decimal point in name
Date: Thu, 9 Sep 2010 14:12:05 -0600
To: bug-Inline [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Derek Lamb <derek [...] boulder.swri.edu>
On a Mac running OS X 10.6.4, trying to install Inline::C. This is using perl 5.8.9 (from MacPorts). $Config{cc} gives '/usr/bin/gcc-4.2', which exists. However, Inline::C says it cannot find the compiler. I believe this is because the $comp string in Inline::C/Makefile.PL strips off anything after the '.', believing it to be a filename extension. The following command prints "found": perl -e 'use Config; unless(-e $Config{cc}){print "not ";} print "found\n";' telling it to ignore that warning allows it to pass make test and install just fine (I think so far).

That seems to be a fairly sane approach to determining whether $Config {cc} is executable :-) Show quoted text

Yes, the fact that the C/Makefile.PL can't find the compiler shouldn't matter in the least, so long as Inline::C can find it. (I don't really know why all that probing done by the C/Makefile.PL is necessary ... or even if it *is* necessary.) Does your compiler get found with Inline-0.46_01 ? If (as I expect) it's still not being found, try inserting the following line at the very beginning of the find_executable subroutine (which you'll find at the bottom of the 0.46_01 C/Makefile.PL): return 1 if -e $_[0]; If that fixes it, then that's what I'll do in 0.47. Cheers, Rob

Sorry about the long turnaround on this. See below. On Sep 9, 2010, at 6:32 PM, Sisyphus via RT wrote: Show quoted text

No, it does not. Show quoted text
