Subject:

Missing gmp.h (gmp-devel) dependency check?

I was trying to install Net-SSH-Perl, which needed Math-GMP. Math-GMP failed with the following (using cpanm): Searching Math::GMP on cpanmetadb ... --> Working on Math::GMP Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/T/TU/TURNSTEP/Math-GMP-2.07.tar.gz -> OK Unpacking Math-GMP-2.07.tar.gz Entering Math-GMP-2.07 Checking configure dependencies from META.yml Configuring Math-GMP-2.07 Running Makefile.PL Checking if your kit is complete...

The key bit was that I was missing gmp.h, which I found to be a part of the CentOS 6 'gmp-devel' package using 'yum whatprovides */gmp.h'. But, just wondering or suggesting - is there a way to have it fail out on a gmp.h check prior to trying to actually build? I would have found that more intuitive. Thanks, and thanks for the software!

This is possible using Devel::CheckLib (I do this in Math::Prime::Util::GMP). I can make the changes and add a pull request if desired.

Yes, that would be great, thank you.

Please do so indeed. Note that if Greg agrees, I'm going to convert the build system to Dist-Zilla, so you may wish to wait a little until the transition is complete.

The transition to Dist-Zilla is now complete in the Git repository's master branch. Please use that as the basis for the transition to Devel::CheckLib.

Already added in "git master" thanks to https://metacpan.org/pod/Dist::Zilla::Plugin::CheckLib . closing as "RESOLVED".
