The following issue has been SUBMITTED. ====================================================================== http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=12224 ====================================================================== Reported By: Jeff Trull Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: CMake Issue ID: 12224 Category: Modules Reproducibility: always Severity: major Priority: normal Status: new ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2011-05-25 15:47 EDT Last Modified: 2011-05-25 15:47 EDT ====================================================================== Summary: FindPerlLibs.cmake fails to find PERL_LIBRARY on Windows Description: The PERL_LIBRARY (should be a path to perl512.lib) is not successfully found with the current code, although the executable and include paths are found OK. Under Linux (Ubuntu 10.10) it works fine for all three.
Steps to Reproduce: Put find_package(PerlLibs REQUIRED) into a CMakeLists.txt file and run cmake under Windows 7 with ActivePerl 5.12 installed. Additional Information: This issue appears to have been first reported by Hugh Sorby in 2009: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.programming.tools.cmake.user/25824 The problem seems to be due to: 1) '${PERL_EXECUTABLE} -V:libperl' output ends in a CRLF pair under windows, and at least part of that remains in the library filename being searched for 2) Under Windows ${PERL_ARCHLIB} looks like "C:\Perl\lib", so ${PERL_ARCHLIB}/CORE looks like "C:\Perl\lib/CORE", which I believe is confusing find_library() My solution (patch attached) is: 1) Use the OUTPUT_STRIP_TRAILING_WHITESPACE option when ${PERL_EXECUTABLE} is called 2) Remove the loop where each of the ${PERL_POSSIBLE_LIB_PATHS} is prepended to the ${PERL_POSSIBLE_LIBRARY_NAME} values. Given that PERL_POSSIBLE_LIB_PATHS is supplied as the PATHS argument to find_library, this seems unnecessary and also results in the above issue. ====================================================================== Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2011-05-25 15:47 Jeff Trull New Issue 2011-05-25 15:47 Jeff Trull File Added: FindPerlLibs_win.patch ====================================================================== _______________________________________________ cmake-developers mailing list [email protected] http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers
