in thread Inline::C and Packaged Distributions

My problem is that, for reasons I don't yet understand, my Inline::C does not generate *.xs files.

% rm -rf _Inline
% cat hello.pl
use Inline C => 'void hello(){printf("Hello, world\n\n");}';

hello;
__END__

% perl hello.pl
Hello, world

% tree .
.
|-- _Inline
|   |-- build
|   |-- config
|   `-- lib
|       `-- auto
|           `-- hello_pl_45c9
|               |-- hello_pl_45c9.bs
|               |-- hello_pl_45c9.inl
|               `-- hello_pl_45c9.so
`-- hello.pl

As you can see, no *.xs file is created. What is missing from the code?

Ahm, shoot. My apologies. You need to enable the option that tells Inline not to clean up after itself. I think you want something like `use Inline Config => ENABLE => FORCE_BUILD, DISABLE => CLEAN_AFTER_BUILD;` [download] or the equivelent `use Inline Config => FORCE_BUILD => 1, CLEAN_AFTER_BUILD => 0;` [download] IIRC, this should come before you say `use Inline::C;` [download] BTW, I assure you that Inline::C does indeed produce XS. :-) In fact thats exactly what Inline::C does for you: autogenerate XS bindings for the C routines you provide. --- $world=~s/war/peace/g	[reply] [d/l] [select]
