RE: [Arsperl-users] KNOPPIX Linux distribution Install

[Barr, S. <sc...@am...>]

There is a problem with the 1.84 distribution compiling against a 5.1 =
API (API version 9 in my case)

=20

Simply comment out all the bad code and it works like a champ, even =
though all the automated tests fail.   :)

=20

I have run ARSDoc using the newly compiled modules/shared objects and =
everything at first look is just fine...

=20

See comments below... Remember to update the .template files first, then =
run Makefile.PL and then make

=20

The files you are going to have to mangle are:

ARS.xs

> //  ARArchiveInfoStruct infoStruct;

>=20

> //  hv_store(RETVAL, =20

> //           "archiveInfo",=20

> //           strlen("archiveInfo") ,

> //           perl_ARArchiveInfoStruct(ctrl, &infoStruct), 0);

>=20

> //  hv_store(hash,  "sampleSchema", strlen("sampleSchema") , =
newSVpv(in->u.tableLimits.sampleSchema, 0), 0);

> //  hv_store(hash,  "sampleServer", strlen("sampleServer") , =
newSVpv(in->u.tableLimits.sampleServer, 0), 0);

>=20

> //#if AR_EXPORT_VERSION >=3D 8L

> //                            &infoStruct,

> //#endif

The entire "perl_ARArchiveInfoStruct(ARControlStruct * ctrl, =
ARArchiveInfoStruct * in)" procedure found around line 2500 in support.c

Support.c

>       //hv_store(hash,  "option", strlen("option") , =
newSViv(in->option), 0);=20

Support-h.template

ARArchiveInfoStruct *);

Has anyone had any success with the ARSPerl install on a recent KNOPPIX =
Linux distribution,  or any other Debian based Linux.=20

 The make fails when compiling ARS.c with :

        In file included from ARS.xs:26:

        support.h:1005: error: syntax error before "ARArchiveInfoStruct"

I have the 1.84 version of ARSperl,  PERL 5.8.4, and a 5.1 version of =
the ars api.  The KNOPPIX distro is 3.9.  I was hoping I wouldn't have =
to open up the hood....
