Re: [MacPerl-Modules] Building module : one step further

[François LETELLIER <flet@arkem.com>]

Hi there,

I read the tutorials about building a perl module embedding C code... and
went a step further.

BTW, the tutotial (mpxstut) is not accurate on a couple of points :
1/ I found no way to use h2xs_app.plx to actually process a .h file. It's
OK to get a skeleton, but otherwise ???
2/ h2xs_app.plx needs to find mac_h2xs in @INC.
3/ xsubpp has to be extensively edited to modify the paths it contains
($xsubpp, @options to find the typemaps, ...)

Well, after struggling with the above, I eventually went to *compiling* the
C code generated by xsubpp. CodeWarrior reports 100 errors (my C code is 3
lines long), due to dupplicate definitions of #defines or typedefs.
Obviously, some .h files are included twice or - what is worse - some of
them define the same things, but don't have compliant "include guards".

Looks like CW includes files as <cstdio> in place of <stdio.h> for instance=
.

Does anyone know how to overcome this nightmare, without editing all the .h
files to place proper include guards ??

Thanks for your help.
