Re: Getting a C library to compile into a Perl module...

suaveant,

Why don't you start here: perlxstut, and bring your C code into this framework.

Added:Also, h2xs accepts a parameter for specifying extra libraries.

h2xs [-ACOPXacdfhkmx] [-F addflags] [-M fmask] [-n module_name] [-o tm
+ask] [-p prefix] [-s subs] [-v version] [headerfile [extra_libraries]
+]
version: 1.21
    -A   Omit all autoloading facilities (implies -c).
    -C   Omit creating the Changes file, add HISTORY heading to stub P
+OD.
    -F   Additional flags for C preprocessor (used with -x).
    -M   Mask to select C functions/macros (default is select all).
    -O   Allow overwriting of a pre-existing extension directory.
    -P   Omit the stub POD section.
    -X   Omit the XS portion (implies both -c and -f).
    -a   Generate get/set accessors for struct and union members (used
+ with -x).
    -c   Omit the constant() function and specialised AUTOLOAD from th
+e XS file.
    -d   Turn on debugging messages.
    -f   Force creation of the extension even if the C header does not
+ exist.
    -h   Display this help message
    -k   Omit 'const' attribute on function arguments (used with -x).
    -m   Generate tied variables for access to declared variables.
    -n   Specify a name to use for the extension (recommended).
    -o   Regular expression for "opaque" types.
    -p   Specify a prefix which should be removed from the Perl functi
+on names.
    -s   Create subroutines for specified macros.
    -v   Specify a version number for this extension.
    -x   Autogenerate XSUBs using C::Scan.
    -b   Specify a perl version to be backwards compatibile with
extra_libraries
         are any libraries that might be needed for loading the
         extension, e.g. -lm would try to link in the math library.
