Installing gd.pm
I am trying to install gd.pm. I have successfully installed gd with jpeg and png support as outlined in the article at stepwise.com. I then tried to use CPAN to install gd.pm, however it complained that about an error in the make step. So, I tried to do it manually. First I went to the directory and did the following: bhmecham% perl Makefile.pl This command complained about an error in the file regarding an email address that was improperly typed in the file. So I fixed it and again typed perl Makfile.pl. This time it worked fine. However when I type make I get the following. bhmecham% make cc -c -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/gd -g -pipe -pipe -fno-common -no-cpp-precomp -flat_namespace -DHAS_TELLDIR_PROTOTYPE -fno-strict-aliasing -Os -DVERSION=\2.02\ -DXS_VERSION=\2.02\ -I/System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE -DHAVE_JPEG GD.c cc1: warning: changing search order for system directory /usr/local/include cc1: warning: as it has already been specified as a non-system directory GD.xs: In function `gd_cloneDim': GD.xs:365: structure has no member named `alpha' GD.xs:365: structure has no member named `alpha' GD.xs:371: structure has no member named `thick' GD.xs:371: structure has no member named `thick' GD.xs: In function `XS_GD__Image_copyRotate90': GD.xs:933: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs:933: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs: In function `XS_GD__Image_copyRotate180': GD.xs:954: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs:954: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs: In function `XS_GD__Image_copyRotate270': GD.xs:975: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs:975: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs: In function `XS_GD__Image_copyFlipHorizontal': GD.xs:996: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs:996: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs: In function `XS_GD__Image_copyFlipVertical': GD.xs:1017: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs:1017: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs: In function `XS_GD__Image_copyTranspose': GD.xs:1038: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs:1038: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs: In function `XS_GD__Image_copyReverseTranspose': GD.xs:1059: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs:1059: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs: In function `XS_GD__Image_rotate180': GD.xs:1079: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs:1079: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs:1080: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs:1080: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs: In function `XS_GD__Image_flipHorizontal': GD.xs:1097: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs:1097: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs:1098: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs:1098: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs: In function `XS_GD__Image_flipVertical': GD.xs:1115: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs:1115: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs:1116: invalid lvalue in assignment GD.xs:1116: invalid lvalue in assignment make: *** [GD.o] Error 1 I do not understand what this error means or how I can get around it or if I need to. Can anyone help?
What up with the mac
Hello Perhaps someone can fill me in on this one. I am comparing the run time of a perl program I wrote. Using my Mac G4 which has a 1.5 ghz processor and a 1.3 ghz PC computer (processor chip type I don't know but could find out) I am seeing that the Mac takes 14 seconds to complete what the PC does in 6! What's up with that?
CPAN errors
Hello I have had some problems the past couple of days using CPAN and am not sure what happened. Basically CPAN hangs up a lot on servers and some times can't find a module that I know exists. Another error I am getting is when it tries to use lynx to access a start file. Here is the error message: lynx: Can't access startfile Any idea what is the problem? Brig
Re: camelbones-related question
Hello Sherm and Co I have started to use the Camelbones framework and am very grateful for your help and hard work Sherm. One thing that I personally still need is either more examples or a link to a site where I can get more help using it. For example, how do you open a new window? Use a combo box? Play a movie? If my guess is right I need to learn cocoa or something, but I was hoping I can do it in perl with something like a $self-{'movie'}-play; or a $self-{'combobox'}-comboValue; command. Is there a file already included that clearly explains this, or am I screwed. Either way thanks for your help. Brig
