Building Inline::C from github source

[syphilis]

Hi,

I can clone the github repo ok:

git clone [e-mail]:ingydotnet/inline-c-pm inline-c-pm

However, AFAICT, there's no Makefile.PL included - except for a couple in eg/modules that bear no relation to the building of Inline::C itself.
In the absence of that file, what is the recommended course of action to be taken in order to build Inline::C from github source ?
(And where is this procedure documented ?)

Cheers,
Rob

Hi, it is documented in the About file. This being Ingyware, it's not exactly standard.

The code for Inline-C is hosted at GitHub. The URL is:
https://github.com/ingydotnet/inline-c-pm
This project uses the Zilla-Dist framework for development and release automation. You install it with:


cpanm -n Zilla::Dist   # -n means "no test" which can save a lot of time

Once installed, run `zild make` to get a list of all the things you can do. See https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/Zilla-Dist/lib/Zilla/Dist.pod for more information.

Note Zilla::Dist, not Dist::Zilla ;-)

Hope this helps!

Thanks 1nickt.

I tried cpanm -n Zilla::Dist but it bailed out after about 30 minutes because of failing dependencies.
At least I've now got another 175 modules installed .... none of which I'll ever use.

It's not a big deal. If it was straightforward enough I would have given the github distro a run.
It's apparently not, so I won't.

Cheers,
Rob
