[Camelbones-devel] compiled Camelbones 0.2 on Panther

[Thilo P. <thi...@us...>]

Hi all,

I managed to compile CB 0.2 on Panther.
I am not 100% sure if it completely works, but it seems okay at first  
glance (and I can use PerlPad again !).

Here are the adjustments I had to make to the source to get it to  
compile:

1) Adjust paths

headers and libraries
> $(SYSTEM_LIBRARY_DIR)/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE/

linker
> -seg1addr 0x10000000 -lperl -lm -lc  
> ${SYSTEM_LIBRARY_DIR}/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/ 
> DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a

xs stuff
> my $xsubpp = "perl /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/ExtUtils/xsubpp -typemap  
> /System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/ExtUtils/typemap";

2) fix "my_perl undefined"

I have no idea what this is doing, but after checking Google, I found  
that I need to add XSUB.h to CBPerlGuts.h.
This is somehow related to threaded Perl.

> // Import Perl stuff first
> #include <EXTERN.h>
> #include <perl.h>
> #include <XSUB.h>
> #include "perlxsi.h"

Can anyone explain what this does (except allowing compilation)

3) rewrite a macro call

There is a macro call in CBPerlGuts.m which looks okay, but the  
compiler somehow stumbled over the number of arguments.

I had  to rewrite it a little:

>  const char *tmpCString;


>   tmpCString =  [[NSString stringWithFormat:  
> @"%@::OBJC_METHOD_SIGNATURES", className] cString];
>
>         // Try to get %OBJC_METHOD_SIGNATURES out of the appropriate  
> package
>         methodSignaturesHash = get_hv(
>                                       tmpCString,
>                                       NO);


If above seems to be working for all, can someone please make an  
official binary to put on the Camelbones homepage?

Regards,

Thilo
