Inline-Support - Support Information for Inline.pm and related modules.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This document contains all of the latest support information for
C<Inline.pm> and the recognized Inline Language Support Modules (ILSMs)
available on CPAN.
=head1 SUPPORTED LANGUAGES
The most important language that Inline supports is C<C>. That is
because Perl itself is written in C<C>. By giving a your Perl scripts
access to C<C>, you in effect give them access to the entire glorious
internals of Perl. (Caveat scriptor :-)
As of this writing, Inline also supports:
- C++
- Java
- Python
- Tcl
- Assembly
- CPR
- And even Inline::Foo! :)
Projects that I would most like to see happen in the year 2001 are:
- Fortran
- Ruby
- Lisp
- Guile
- Bash
- Perl4
=head1 SUPPORTED PLATFORMS
C<Inline::C> should work anywhere that CPAN extension modules (those
that use XS) can be installed, using the typical install format of:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
It has been tested on many Unix and Windows variants.
B<NOTE>: C<Inline::C> requires Perl 5.005 or higher because
C<Parse::RecDescent> requires it. (Something to do with the C<qr>
operator)
Inline has been successfully tested at one time or another on the
following platforms:
Linux
Solaris
SunOS
HPUX
AIX
FreeBSD
OpenBSD
BeOS
OS X
WinNT
Win2K
WinME
Win98
Cygwin
The Microsoft tests deserve a little more explanation. I used the following:
Windows NT 4.0 (service pack 6)
Perl 5.005_03 (ActiveState build 522)
MS Visual C++ 6.0
The "nmake" make utility (distributed w/ Visual C++)
C<Inline::C> pulls all of its base configuration (including which
C<make> utility to use) from C<Config.pm>. Since your MSWin32 version of
Perl probably came from ActiveState (as a binary distribution) the
C<Config.pm> will indicate that C<nmake> is the system's C<make>
utility. That is because ActiveState uses Visual C++ to compile Perl.
To install C<Inline.pm> (or any other CPAN module) on MSWin32 w/ Visual
C++, use these:
perl Makefile.PL
nmake
nmake test
nmake install
Inline has also been made to work with Mingw32/gcc on all Windows
platforms. This is a free compiler for Windows. You must also use a perl
built with that compiler.
The "Cygwin" test was done on a Windows 98 machine using the Cygwin
Unix/Win32 porting layer software from Cygnus. The C<perl> binary on
this machine was also compiled using the Cygwin tool set (C<gcc>). This
software is freely available from http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
If you get Inline to work on a new platform, please send me email email.
If it doesn't work, let me know as well and I'll see what can be done.
