Hi all: I'm sorry I have not been able to look at PDL more closely
leading up to the release--I've been swamped!
When I built PDL recently on my Linux FC3 i386 machines, I did not see any
problems.
I did see some troubles on my FC3 x86_64 machines.
The check to add -fPIC involved $ENV{hosttype}:
$ENV{HOSTTYPE}=~m/x86_64/
Under some shells, under certain conditions, $ENV{hosttype} can be set
wrongly. I would recommend checking $Config{archname} instead:
$Config{archname}=~m/x86_64/
This should be changed in:
PDL/Makefile.PL
and
PDL/Lib/Slatec/Makefile.PL
If no one objects, I'll check this change into CVS.
Thanks for all the good work!
Regards,
Doug

Subject: Re: [Perldl] next version
I suggest pushing a release out now to be followed
by a quick minor release if/when the remaining niggles
are fixed.
We have been talking about release being imminent
for some time now - there is a danger we will become
the debian of perl modules ;)
What do you think?
Yes!
I just checked INSTALL and README notes for cygwin
into CVS and am ready for a general release with this
stuff.
I suggest we freeze code changes immediately.
Everyone runs the build/install tests on their setups
looking for any "oops" problems (i.e. show stoppers)
this weekend.
We update the Known_Problems files and release
by next Tuesday (01-Aug-2006). BTW, how hard
is it to actually generate a new release? Is it an
automated process or is there hand cranking involved?
