Is it possible to just specify *all* of the possible libraries that might be needed, skip the validation, and leave it to EU::MM to automatically remove the ones that don't exist ? I think this is what we did for Windows in EU-F77-1.18 wrt "-lquadmath" - we just hard-coded it in without caring whether it's going to be found or not. If it's not located at the 'perl Makefile.PL' stage then MakeMaker just removes it, there's no attempt to link to it during 'make' and everything goes fine. We're assuming that if libquadmath isn't found by default, then it's not needed. Are you at liberty to take the same approach ? .... Perhaps not. Alternatively, I guess some code (using EU::MM for example) could be run to pre-determine which of a list of candidate libraries is locatable. Following that (or as part of that process), the list is amended accordingly and *then* the validation is run. > Does anyone know an automatic way to spit out a library link list? > > Failing that I could special case the existence test for these extra libs. > > BTW is anyone using a compiler these days with perl extensions that ISN’T > gfortran? I wonder if we are trying too hard. The absence of gfortran would, afaik, imply gcc-3.x.x or earlier. That seems fairly unlikely, and I think it's a fair bet that there's no-one wanting to use EU-F77 with such an old version of gcc ... but that's not exactly a guarantee ;-) Cheers, Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Presto, an open source distributed SQL query engine for big data, initially developed by Facebook, enables you to easily query your data on Hadoop in a more interactive manner.
