Re: Perl - trying to install libwin32

[Charles Owens]

Howdy,

I'm also seeing the same problem as Paul when trying to compile 
libwin32-0.191 (patched) on cygwin.  This is with both gcc 3.3.1 and gcc 
3.2 20020927 (prerelease) .

Any suggestions?  Here's what "make" is giving me (with gcc 3.2):

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/owensc/dev/libwin32-0.191/APIFile'

As a followup to my last message,

The reason that I wanted libwin32 was to drive Word and Excel via COM. I
discovered that COM was somehow borked (didn't work properly under VB
either). I assumed that the perl compile problem was due to bitrot on
that box and I've switched to another machine, which has ActivePerl
installed on it. I'd prefer to use Cygwin's perl for CPAN and
consistency with Linux, but it's all working so I don't want to rock the
boat at the moment...

Re: Perl - trying to install libwin32

[Charles Owens]

Okay... (just now getting back to this).

Thanks for the pointer... but it must be something else.

Since the build is failing in APIFile I've added this to APIFile/Makefile

   LDDLFLAGS = -L/usr/lib/w32api -lkernel32 -I/usr/include/w32api

When I run 'make' I do see that the gcc line in question now has these 
options... but the link fails in the same way as before. (lots of 
unresolved reverences, eg. "...File.c: undefined reference to 
'_CloseHandle'")

Any thoughts on what my next step should be?

Thanks much,

Charles

Re: Perl - trying to install libwin32

[Igor Pechtchanski]

Charles,

Linkers like forward references, and don't understand back references.
The libraries should go to the very end of the line, after the object
files (and I believe the *FLAGS vars usually get put right after the
executable).  You might need to use some other variable for this.

If the libraries are at the end of the gcc invocation, please post the
exact gcc command you get when compiling.

Re: Perl - trying to install libwin32

[Charles Owens]

Igor,

Here's what's getting produced by make:

gcc -shared -o File.dll -Wl,--out-implib=libFile.dll.a 
-Wl,--export-all-symbols -Wl,--enable-auto-import -Wl,--stack,8388608 
-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/w32api 
-I/usr/include/w32api -s File.o 
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int/CORE/libperl.dll.a -lkernel32

I've also tried (by hand):

gcc -shared -o File.dll -Wl,--out-implib=libFile.dll.a 
-Wl,--export-all-symbols -Wl,--enable-auto-import -Wl,--stack,8388608 -s 
File.o /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int/CORE/libperl.dll.a 
-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/w32api -lkernel32 
-I/usr/include/w32api

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Charles

Re: Perl - trying to install libwin32

[Charles Owens]

Gerrit (and others),

Thanks for the help thus far.

Needing to get some real work done for now I've downgraded to perl 
5.6.1... libwin32 builds okay except for Win32::Job.  I hacked in a 
dummy Makefile to just skip over it.

In all cases I've been using Rafael Kitover's patch... announced this 
patch January.  Here's the URL.

http://www.io.com/~rkitover/libwin32-0.191-port.diff


Has anyone actually built it successfully with perl-5.8.1?   Where's the 
recipe?

Thanks,

Charles

Not that I'm aware of, but it should be independent of the perl version.
I'll try to use some time at the weekend to take a look.

Hmm, which version of libwin  (download URL) and can you send a patch
of your current tree against the source?  I'll try if it works for me
(though with perl-5.8.1, but this should make no difference).

Perl - trying to install libwin32

[Paul W]

Hello all,

I'm trying to install the perl libwin32 package under cygwin. I'm
following the steps given in this message:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-01/msg00581.html

, downloaded the source and the patch applies without errors, but I hit
a bunch of what looks like linking errors when it tries to compile
Win32::APIFile.

I expect I'm either missing a cygwin module, or I haven't got the cywin
environment set up correctly - does anyone have any suggestions as to
where I can start looking?

Strange error, the functions are in the Windows DLL: kernel32.dll
Have you installed the w32api package ( ls /usr/lib/w32api )?

Which compiler are you using?  I used 3.2.x to build perl.

Yep, that's there and /usr/lib/w32api/libkernel32.a exists.

Can you please try if it works with gcc 3.2 20020927 (prerelease),

this compiler.  There may be incompatibilities when using different 
compilers.
