6 Inline-Support - Support Information for Inline.pm and related modules.
7
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
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 As of this writing, Inline also supports:
20 · C++
22 · Java
24 · Python
26 · Tcl
28 · Assembly
30 · CPR
32 · And even Inline::Foo! :)
34 Projects that I would most like to see happen in the year 2001 are:
36 · Fortran
38 · Ruby
40 · Lisp
42 · Guile
44 · Bash
46 · Perl4
48
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 perl Makefile.PL
54 make
55 make test
56 make install
57 It has been tested on many Unix and Windows variants.
59 NOTE: "Inline::C" requires Perl 5.005 or higher because
61 "Parse::RecDescent" requires it. (Something to do with the "qr"
62 operator)
63 Inline has been successfully tested at one time or another on the
65 following platforms:
66 · Linux
68 · Solaris
70 · SunOS
72 · HPUX
74 · AIX
76 · FreeBSD
78 · OpenBSD
80 · BeOS
82 · OS X
84 · WinNT
86 · Win2K
88 · WinME
90 · Win98
92 · Cygwin
94 The Microsoft tests deserve a little more explanation. I used the
96 following:
97 · Windows NT 4.0 (service pack 6)
99 · Perl 5.005_03 (ActiveState build 522)
101 · MS Visual C++ 6.0
103 · The "nmake" make utility (distributed w/ Visual C++)
105 "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 To install "Inline.pm" (or any other CPAN module) on MSWin32 w/ Visual
113 C++, use these:
114 perl Makefile.PL
116 nmake
117 nmake test
118 nmake install
119 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 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 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.
