Bug #6887 for PersistentPerl: PersistentPerl compile error on MacOS X

Wed Jul 07 23:27:44 2004 VKHERA [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

PersistentPerl compile error on MacOS X

When compiling PersistentPerl on MacOS X (with gcc 3.3), the loader reports multiple definitions for the my_perl variable. The fix is to declare it as "extern" in the perperl_perl.h file.

Here is a patch to do this. I'd love to see this and the 2 patches for rt 16419 applied to source and published. Applying those allows it to build flawlessly! I'd be happy to be co maintainer and do this for you Mr. Horrocks.

Yes, in fact there is some interest from my employer as well which would contribute to the possibility of success :)
