Hi,<br>
By my antiquated standards, if the source to this module was properly written, building this module would be as easy as:
<c>
perl Makefile.PL INC="-IC:/_32/msys/1.0/local/include" LIBS="-LC:/_32/msys/1.0/local/lib -lgsl"
dmake test
dmake install
</c>
But the days of such simplicity are long gone - and it's probably time for me to adjust to the complexity and frustration of Module::Build and its co-obfuscators. So ... let's start with the output of running 'perl Build.PL':
<c>
Checking for GSL..'pkg-config' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
at Build.pl line 265
*** can not find package gsl
*** check that it is properly installed and available in PKG_CONFIG_PATH
at Build.pl line 265
</c>
Where do I go from there ? <br>
Line 265 of Build.PL is:
<c>
my %gsl_pkgcfg = ExtUtils::PkgConfig->find ('gsl');
</c>
I have (a static build of) gsl-1.11. The gsl includes are in C:/_32/msys/1.0/local/include/gsl and libgsl.a is in C:/_32/msys/1.0/local/lib. <br><br>Any help appreciated. I promise to try to refrain from the use of expletives during the course of this thread, but I can't guarantee that I'll succeed in meeting that objective. Frankly, when I see that <c>perl Build.PL</c> output, it just makes my blood boil.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Rob
