Subject: Building cpan module that links with proprietary libs
Date: Thu, 29 May 2014 04:25:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <lm651o$5ss$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
I'm attempting to build a cpan module (well actually it's not a cpan
module but rather a module that uses MakeMaker and has the familiar perl
Makefile.PL, make, make test, make install installation procedure.
Additionally I need to link it to a set of proprietary libs that I am
given only the .lib files for. If you must know this is for Perforce's
P4Perl which I'd like to get working with Cygwin's Perl natively.
I download the P4API bundle (the package that has include files and the
.lib files pre-compiled). Next I need to do:
$ perl Makefile.PL --api-dir /.../path/to/unzipped/p4api
This works fine and I procedure with the make. This fails with things like:
make[1]: Leaving directory '/cygdrive/a/perl/P4Perl.Cygwin/lib'
g++ -c -I/cygdrive/a/perl/p4api.windows/include/p4 -Ilib -x c++
-DUSEIMPORTLIB -O3 -DVERSION=\"2014.1\" -DXS_VERSION=\"2014.1\"
"-I/usr/lib/perl5/5.14/x86_64-cygwin-threads/CORE"
-DID_OS="\"CYGWIN17THREAD\"" -DID_REL="\"2014.1\""
-DID_PATCH="\"842847\"" -DID_Y="\"2014\"" -DID_M="\"05\""
-DID_D="\"06\"" -DOS_CYGWIN -DOS_CYGWIN17 -DOS_CYGWIN17THREAD
-DOS_CYGWINTHREAD -DP4API_VERSION="515585" -DID_API="\"2014.1/821990\"" P4.c
Running Mkbootstrap for P4 ()
chmod 644 P4.bs
rm -f blib/arch/auto/P4/P4.dll
g++ -shared P4.o -o blib/arch/auto/P4/P4.dll lib/libp4.a \
/usr/lib/perl5/5.14/x86_64-cygwin-threads/CORE/cygperl5_14.dll \
P4.o:P4.c:(.text+0x45ac): undefined reference to
`ClientApi::SetClient(char const*)'
P4.o:P4.c:(.text+0x45ac): relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_PC32
against undefined symbol `ClientApi::SetClient(char const*)'
P4.o:P4.c:(.text+0x4a9c): undefined reference to
`ClientApi::SetHost(char const*)'
Notice that it removes P4.dll, so it seems to know it's working with
dll's, but then it calls g++ with a -o for libp4.a! Why a .a? Shouldn't
this be .dll?
Meantime it fails with many undefined references. I think I might need
to do perl Makefile.PL with other opts to tell it that while it's using
Cygwin and can be very Linux-like, it needs to produce .dll's and not
.a's or .o's.
Has anybody managed to do this? What am I doing wrong?
