Re^2: Can't compile XS code

objdump gives me a whole bunch of:

objdump: dknisxxxxx.o: File format not recognized

perl -V gives me:

objdump: dknisxxxxx.o: File format not recognized Then that's your problem ... or at least one problem that needs to be fixed. Could that libperl516.a that's being found be a 32-bit version of libperl516.a ? The error messages from objdump would fit such a scenario. Compare it to the libperl516.a that's on the other machine you mentioned. They should be identical (obviously), right down to the Digest::MD5 signatures, if they're the same builds of Strawberry Perl. Afterthought: If that libperl516.a is 64-bit, then another possibility is that you've just run a 32-bit version of objdump on it. That would also fit the objdump errors you reported.

I just removed and reinstalled the whole distribution. I still get the exact same errors.	[reply]
Re^5: Can't compile XS code by syphilis (Archbishop) on Oct 27, 2012 at 05:18 UTC
Are you using the "MSI Installer" version of that distro ? According to this page, it's SHA1 digest should be: `e67728ddd89777815271ac7416cff32653d387bf` [download] Is that what you have ? (I get that SHA1 digest for the distro that I just downloaded - so that part looks fine to me.) If you get a different SHA1 digest for the distro you downloaded then, either you've grabbed a different distro, or you've got a corrupted distro. When I install that distro and run: `objdump -t C:/strawberry/perl/lib/CORE/libperl516.a >dump.txt` [download] I get no errors ... so I'm thinking that you must be running a different objdump. Where is it coming from ? You need to run the objdump that's in C:/strawberry/c/bin ... so try: `C:/strawberry/c/bin/objdump -t C:/strawberry/perl/lib/CORE/libperl516. +a >dump.txt` [download] Does that make any difference for you ? Finally, the various digests I get for libperl516.a are: `Enter the filename (full path): C:/strawberry/perl/lib/CORE/libperl516 +.a MD5: e53826b93afd80de2e44038da93e63ba SHA1: 68737f9536907c5a37833b94e26685a10d9c5ce0 SHA256: c66d4ad43a583304b800e22966de0ab5baa6000ccb956643559b8e76f62e84 +dc` [download] Does that match what you get ? (No need to check all 3 - any one will do.) Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]

On a 64-bit os these seem odd -lkernel32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lshell32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -lnetapi32 Maybe the compiler chain knows to ignore that and link shell64 etc, maybe it doesn't	[reply]
Re^5: Can't compile XS code by syphilis (Archbishop) on Oct 27, 2012 at 05:25 UTC
That's ok. Although it's a 64-bit OS, the library names still retain their '32' suffix. Cheers, Rob	[reply]
