NAME

6       Inline-Support - Support Information for Inline.pm and related modules.
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This document contains all of the latest support information for
10       "Inline.pm" and the recognized Inline Language Support Modules (ILSMs)
11       available on CPAN.
12

SUPPORTED LANGUAGES

14       The most important language that Inline supports is "C". That is
15       because Perl itself is written in "C". By giving a your Perl scripts
16       access to "C", you in effect give them access to the entire glorious
17       internals of Perl. (Caveat scriptor :-)
18
19       As of this writing, Inline also supports:
20
21       ·   C++
22
23       ·   Java
24
25       ·   Python
26
27       ·   Tcl
28
29       ·   Assembly
30
31       ·   CPR
32
33       ·   And even Inline::Foo! :)
34
35       Projects that I would most like to see happen in the year 2001 are:
36
37       ·   Fortran
38
39       ·   Ruby
40
41       ·   Lisp
42
43       ·   Guile
44
45       ·   Bash
46
47       ·   Perl4
48

SUPPORTED PLATFORMS

50       "Inline::C" should work anywhere that CPAN extension modules (those
51       that use XS) can be installed, using the typical install format of:
52
53           perl Makefile.PL
54           make
55           make test
56           make install
57
58       It has been tested on many Unix and Windows variants.
59
60       NOTE: "Inline::C" requires Perl 5.005 or higher because
61       "Parse::RecDescent" requires it. (Something to do with the "qr"
62       operator)
63
64       Inline has been successfully tested at one time or another on the
65       following platforms:
66
67       ·   Linux
68
69       ·   Solaris
70
71       ·   SunOS
72
73       ·   HPUX
74
75       ·   AIX
76
77       ·   FreeBSD
78
79       ·   OpenBSD
80
81       ·   BeOS
82
83       ·   OS X
84
85       ·   WinNT
86
87       ·   Win2K
88
89       ·   WinME
90
91       ·   Win98
92
93       ·   Cygwin
94
95       The Microsoft tests deserve a little more explanation. I used the
96       following:
97
98       ·   Windows NT 4.0 (service pack 6)
99
100       ·   Perl 5.005_03 (ActiveState build 522)
101
102       ·   MS Visual C++ 6.0
103
104       ·   The "nmake" make utility (distributed w/ Visual C++)
105
106       "Inline::C" pulls all of its base configuration (including which "make"
107       utility to use) from "Config.pm". Since your MSWin32 version of Perl
108       probably came from ActiveState (as a binary distribution) the
109       "Config.pm" will indicate that "nmake" is the system's "make" utility.
110       That is because ActiveState uses Visual C++ to compile Perl.
111
112       To install "Inline.pm" (or any other CPAN module) on MSWin32 w/ Visual
113       C++, use these:
114
115           perl Makefile.PL
116           nmake
117           nmake test
118           nmake install
119
120       Inline has also been made to work with Mingw32/gcc on all Windows
121       platforms.  This is a free compiler for Windows. You must also use a
122       perl built with that compiler.
123
124       The "Cygwin" test was done on a Windows 98 machine using the Cygwin
125       Unix/Win32 porting layer software from Cygnus. The "perl" binary on
126       this machine was also compiled using the Cygwin tool set ("gcc"). This
127       software is freely available from <http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/>
128
129       If you get Inline to work on a new platform, please send me email
130       email. If it doesn't work, let me know as well and I'll see what can be
131       done.
