I think an effort to make PDL build cross-platform, (as in the goal for PDL-2.4.7) would be *much* more productive for PDL development going forward.
If the external dependency issue is resolved, one could just "cpan PDL". At that point, if someone wanted to wrap up and support a static distribution, (I think it would be a big effort requiring lots of support and providing much grief to the maintainers), at least the PDL part would be relatively easy. :-) Cheers, Chris PDL would On 7/25/2010 6:35 AM, Daniel Carrera wrote: > Hi guys, > > Here is an idea: > > * Make a statically-compiled version of the PDL module and shell. > * Bundle it with the Padre stand-alone distribution. > * Ship it and call it "Stand-Alone PDL". > > Now, like magic, we get the "one click install" we have been dreaming about. > > The Padre project already makes a stand-alone distribution that > includes Perl itself and the core modules.
