Dear Inline list members:
I have just begun playing with Inline.pm (version 0.44 downloaded from
CPAN scant hours ago, MD5 (Inline-0.44.tar.gz) =
840f47d9b6cef39e68370faf9dceab2c), having just read Brian Ingerson's
article from 2001 on Perl.com about it. Immediately I ran into
trouble using it. I've looked for a FAQ concerning my problem and
searched the web for an answer, but found none. However, I've just
been looking at it for an hour or two, so if I missed something
obvious, my apologies.
When I try to use Inline like so on my machine "burden", the following
happens during compilation:
burden[jwjr]: perl
use Inline C => <<'END_C';
void greet() {
printf ("Hello, World\n");
}
END_C
Couldn't find an appropriate DIRECTORY for Inline to use.
at - line 1
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at - line 5.
No joy, as you can see.
When I try specifying a directory, it tells me, rather more bizarrely:
burden[jwjr]: perl
use Inline (
DIRECTORY => '/tmp',
C => <<'END_C',
void greet() {
printf ("Hello, World\n");
}
END_C
);
Inline assumes '/tmp' is a filename,
and that file does not exist.
at - line 2
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at - line 8.
I can assure you that /tmp exists. I have also tried other
directories that exist and the same happens there. My machine and
Perl have the characteristics following in the postscript.
My apologies if I have missed an obvious resource for solving this
problem for myself, and I will certainly appreciate any help anyone
can offer.
Regards,
James Wetterau
