Hi,
I'm trying to port portions of Slash to win32 so I can do some =
development on my Windows box. I'm trying to go the ActiveState+Visual =
Studio route rather than the Cygwin route. Now I won't go through =
everything I've tried to do but basically my only current stumbling =
block is compiling the XS portions of Slash (Slash::Apache, =
Slash::Apache::User). Has anyone been able to do this under Windows =
before?
Here are some of the gory details of what I've encountered, ignore if =
not interested... Most support modules have been installed from either =
CPAN/PPM without a hitch, their make tests passed. The aforementioned =
modules refused to compile unless the -DPERL_IMPLICIT_SYS flag is =
removed (get syntax errors in malloc.h ... probably some macro gone =
wrong). Is that flag so important? After that, linking gives unresolved =
external references to various... which could be found in mod_perl.lib =
and ApacheCore.lib. But I'm not convinced I should be linking to those =
just yet. Finally, if I do link with those (and therefore have to put =
mod_perl.so and Apache.dll in my path) the slash tests crash at some =
point (some crash in ApacheCore) =3D) One more sidenote... this is =
with Slash 2.0.0 since that's what I've been running on my Linux box. =
Haven't got to upgrading yet.
My experience with Perl and Slash is pretty good but XS is something =
I've managed to avoid until now, especially under win32 so any =
suggestions apprecated. Further details available upon request
Thanks,
Kevin Tam
