Re^4: How convert header file to XS by h2xs?

[xiaoyafeng]

the first one (test.c) run correctly, the later throw the same error as my original post.

And I think what Rob mean is checking the difference of test.c and Mytest.c. since I'm new to XS, I cant find something strange.

Besides, Because the same files could convert to XS successfully on ubuntu, does it mean this problem is only related to Win32 platform? should I report author of h2xs it?

I was actually thinking that there must be some difference between Mytest/test.h and the test.h that you provided in your first post. In Mytest.xs, could you try changing line 7 from #include  "test.h" to #include  "../test.h" and see if that makes any difference. Also, providing a copy'n'paste of the output when using the -E switch, as almut suggested, would perhaps help us work out what's going wrong.

should I report author of h2xs it?

No - I've just done exactly the same as you did (also using Strawberry Perl 5.10.1, as you did), and can't reproduce the problem. I ran:

h2xs -Afn Mytest
copy test.c Mytest
copy test.h Mytest
h2xs -Oxan Mytest test.h

Then, when I switch to the Mytest folder, I get:

We first ought to find out why it's not working for you.

I changed "./test.h" to "../test.h", but it still failed.

Below is the output message after adding -E switch:

UPDATE:

Thanks for BrowserUk's reminding, I shrink the log size for makeing this reply re-readable. But it seems useless :(

I change the name of function from max to lc_max. it works! I don't understand why this change can affect. Hope gurus enlighten me about this.

[almut]

I change the name of function from max to lc_max. it works! I don't understand why...

It could be because something in the included header files declares max some other way, so there's a conflict when the compiler reaches your declaration of max in test.h.

If you really want to know, grep for "max" in the -E output...  Or, to avoid name clashes in the first place, simply give your function a less "common" name.

Sadly, I sent bug report before I read your post :(
