[Arsperl-users] artypes.ph with ARSVERSION <6.3

[Wesley S. <wes...@or...>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install ARSperl on Solaris 9 against ARS 6.03, patch 21.

SunOS xxxxx.wanadoo.nl 5.9 Generic_118558-28 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210

I noticed in the Makefile.PL that you can choose a ARSVERSION.

When you pick a version <6.3 the artypes.ph is not copied to the
INST_LIBDIR. However, the file ARSar-h.pm still has the following line
(line 5):
  require 'artypes.ph';


/home/wesleys/ARSperl-1.90/example$ ./connect.pl
Can't locate artypes.ph in @INC (did you run h2ph?) (@INC contains:
/opt/EURONET/perl5.8.5/lib/5.8.5/sun4-solaris-thread-multi
/opt/EURONET/perl5.8.5/lib/5.8.5

/opt/EURONET/perl5.8.5/lib/site_perl/5.8.5
/opt/EURONET/perl5.8.5/lib/site_perl /opt/IMS/lib .) at
/opt/EURONET/perl5.8.5/lib/site_perl/5.8.5/sun4-solaris-thread-multi/ARSar-h.pm
line 5.
Compilation failed in require at
/opt/EURONET/perl5.8.5/lib/site_perl/5.8.5/sun4-solaris-thread-multi/ARS.pm
line 67.
Compilation failed in require at ./connect.pl line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./connect.pl line 3.

However, when you run the code from the src location it will run the
same code:

/home/wesleys/ARSperl-1.90$ /opt/perl example/connect.pl
$VAR1 = bless( do{\(my $o = 4626376)}, 'ARControlStructPtr' );

The reason is that artypes.ph is present in /home/wesleys/ARSperl-1.90.

Perhaps the artypes.ph can be installed when you select a version <6.3?

connect.pl is a small script to check wheter you can connect to the ARS
server:

   use ARS;
   use Data::Dumper;

   my ($server, $account, $password, $port) = ("localhost", "User", "Pass", 123456);

   $c = ars_Login($server, $account, $password, undef, undef, $port, undef);
   print Dumper $c;


When I change the ARSVERSION to 6.3 everything works fine.

Cheers,
Wesley
