I thought it was interesting that you could get it to work and I couldn't; the only difference is that I was referencing an external file and you were using
a heredoc.

There's another subtle difference.
I replaced:

const char* version(void)

with:

char * version()

Did you pick up on that ? (I changed it because it was necessary ... for me, anyway ... I don't think it compiled otherwise ... though it compiled ok in its original form iff the "namespace" stuff was present ... but then the version function couldn't be found :-)


So I tried it out, and 'lo and behold I get that error when I compile my C++
snippet from an external file.

If I provide it as a string, it works great. The exact same code.


So ... your mimelib.c contains:

-------------------------------
#include <iostream>
#include <kdeversion.h>

char* version() {
           return ::KDE::versionString();
       }

-------------------------------

Make sure there's a newline at the end of the file. (Otherwise Inline::CPP will prolly create a corrupt XS file.)
I'm also unsure about the "return ::KDE::versionString();" part, too.
Assuming that "versionString()" is a libkio.a or libkdecore.a function, I would think you just want:

return versionString();

... and the perl file contains:

-------------------------------
package MIME::KDE;

use warnings;
use strict;
use version qw(qv);

our $VERSION = qv('0.01');

use File::Basename qw(dirname);

use Inline CPP =>
               Config =>
                       LIBS => ['-lkio', '-lkdecore'],
INC => ['-I /usr/include/kde', '-I /usr/include/qt3'],
                       ENABLE => 'STD_IOSTREAM'
          ;
use Inline CPP => dirname(__FILE__).'/src/mimelib.cpp';

1;
-------------------------------

I can't think of a reason that would fail to find the version function. With my modified version of mimelib.cpp (in the ./src directory) I ran the following script:

-------------------------------
package MIME::KDE;

use warnings;
use strict;
use version qw(qv);

our $VERSION = qv('0.01');

use File::Basename qw(dirname);

use Inline CPP =>
               Config =>
                       ENABLE => 'STD_IOSTREAM'
          ;
use Inline CPP => dirname(__FILE__).'/src/mimelib.cpp';

my $z = MIME::KDE::version();

print $z, "\n";
-------------------------------

For me, that faithfully outputs:
my version is 0.01

Are we getting close to a resolution ?

Cheers,
Rob
