in reply to installing WWW::Curl::Easy perl module in OS X 10.12.6

/usr/include/AvailabilityInternal.h:22938:10: error: unterminated conditional directive

The syntax of /usr/include/AvailabilityInternal.h is illegal, at least in the eyes of your C compiler.
For every "#if" there needs to be a corresponding "#endif", and the C pre-processor hasn't found those requisite occurrences of "#endif". (All other errors are probably a consequence of this.)

I suppose one could fix the offending file, but if you're using the system perl (as I suspect you are) then I believe that, instead of using cpan, it's recommended that you install modules using your system's package manager.
/usr/include/AvailabilityInternal.h wouldn't even be looked at if you were to install WWW::Curl::Easy using the package manager.

Update: See
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42031921/unterminated-unconditional-directive-error-when-preprocessing-c-code
if you wish to persevere with a cpanp installation.

Cheers,
Rob

    Thank you Rob, I got further this time... I verified (and updated) curl and pkg_config in brew:
    ns3:linkrabbit administrator$ brew info curl curl: stable 7.58.0 (bottled), HEAD [keg-only] Get a file from an HTTP, HTTPS or FTP server https://curl.haxx.se/ /usr/local/Cellar/curl/7.51.0 (368 files, 2.6MB) Poured from bottle on 2016-11-21 at 15:29:25 /usr/local/Cellar/curl/7.56.1 (414 files, 3.0MB) Poured from bottle on 2017-11-08 at 11:37:40 /usr/local/Cellar/curl/7.58.0 (415 files, 3MB) Poured from bottle on 2018-02-09 at 10:38:12 From: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/cu +rl.rb ==> Dependencies Build: pkg-config ✔ Optional: openssl ✔, rtmpdump ✘, libssh2 ✘, c-are +s ✘, libmetalink ✘, nghttp2 ✘ ==> Options --with-c-ares Build with C-Ares async DNS support --with-gssapi Build with GSSAPI/Kerberos authentication support. --with-libmetalink Build with libmetalink support. --with-libssh2 Build with scp and sftp support --with-nghttp2 Build with HTTP/2 support (requires OpenSSL) --with-openssl Build with OpenSSL instead of Secure Transport --with-rtmpdump Build with RTMP support --HEAD Install HEAD version ==> Caveats This formula is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/l +ocal, because macOS already provides this software and installing another ve +rsion in parallel can cause all kinds of trouble.

    I believe what I had missed was appending my .bash_profile to be able to find the brew installed curl:
    export PATH="/usr/local/opt/curl/bin:$PATH" export CURL_CONFIG=/usr/local/Cellar/curl/7.58.0/bin/curl-config
    I then attempted again to install the WWW::Curl::Easy module using cpanp... I now encounter different problems (so this is progress, yes?!)

    Rob, I'm not sure if I'm reading you right.. are you suggeting that I install WWW::Curl::Easy using brew? I'm not sure how to do that beyond:
    brew install curl

      I tried compiling WWW::Curl::Easy by hand, but came across the same errors:

      From what I can tell, this is an issue with the compiler... the reported missing "unterminated conditional directive" is actually there, but indented (seriously?!?! that's a problem?!)
      I went ahead and tried a make, but failed there too:

      I'm completely dead in the water here. I've been trying to pull this off for over a year.

      FYI, I checked my versions of curl and perl, and verified that they are the ones I expected:
      [ns3:~/src/WWW-Curl-4.17] administrator% which curl /usr/local/opt/curl/bin/curl [ns3:~/src/WWW-Curl-4.17] administrator% /usr/local/opt/curl/bin/curl +--version curl 7.58.0 (x86_64-apple-darwin16.7.0) libcurl/7.58.0 SecureTransport + zlib/1.2.8 Release-Date: 2018-01-24 Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps +pop3 pop3s rtsp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp Features: AsynchDNS IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz UnixSockets [ns3:~/src/WWW-Curl-4.17] administrator% which perl /Users/administrator/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.24.0/bin/perl [ns3:~/src/WWW-Curl-4.17] administrator%
        ./curlopt-constants.c:19:58: error: non-void function 'constant' should return a value [-Wreturn-type]

        Interesting ... when I build WWW-Curl on windows, I get something similar:
        In file included from Curl.xs:581:0: curlopt-constants.c: In function 'constant': curlopt-constants.c:19:58: warning: 'return' with no value, in functio +n returning non-void if (strEQ(name, "DID_MEMORY_FUNC_TYPEDEFS")) return CURL_ +DID_MEMORY_FUNC_TYPEDEFS;
        But, of course, it's only a warning for me - and this allows the build to complete successfully.

        I *think* this warning is telling me that, although CURL_DID_MEMORY_FUNC_TYPEDEFS is defined, it hasn't been assigned a value.
        In Curl.xs, try replacing:
        #include "curlopt-constants.c"
        with:
        #undef CURL_DID_MEMORY_FUNC_TYPEDEFS #define CURL_DID_MEMORY_FUNC_TYPEDEFS 0 #include "curlopt-constants.c"
        That avoids the warning for me, and will hopefully avoid the error for you.

        Cheers,
        Rob
