Hello,
I'm trying to build perl (5.6.1) with a precompiled header. The
problem I'm having is that a precompiled header assumes a static header
context for all source files, whereas the perl source files 'customize'
the headers by defining relevant macros prior to including them.
I was able to work around the PERL_IN_foo_C differences by defining
PERL_DECL_PROT. I also added "#define PERLIO_NOT_STDIO 0" to avoid a
macro redefinition in perlio.c. But linking failed because the
interpreter globals were all undefined.
Precompiling the header results in MUCH faster compiling -- by at least
a factor of ten with Metrowerks CodeWarrior. But supporting it
requires that headers depend only on the headers they include, not on
the files including them (except for the precompiled header itself).
Please let me know how I can help make this work.
Josh
