Instead, use the use-devel-checklib script. =head1 HOW IT WORKS You pass named parameters to a function, describing to it how to build and link to the libraries. It works by trying to compile some code - which defaults to this: int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { return 0; } and linking it to the specified libraries. If something pops out the end which looks executable, it gets executed, and if main() returns 0 we know that it worked. That tiny program is built once for each library that you specify, and (without linking) once for each header file. If you want to check for the presence of particular functions in a library, or even that those functions return particular results, then you can pass your own function body for main() thus: check_lib_or_exit( function => 'foo();if(libversion() > 5) return 0; else return 1;' incpath => ... libpath => ... lib => ... header => ... ); In that case, it will fail to build if either foo() or libversion() don't exist, and main() will return the wrong value if libversion()'s return value isn't what you want. =head1 FUNCTIONS All of these take the same named parameters and are exported by default. To avoid exporting them, C. =head2 assert_lib This takes several named parameters, all of which are optional, and dies with an error message if any of the libraries listed can not be found. B: dying in a Makefile.PL or Build.PL may provoke a 'FAIL' report from CPAN Testers' automated smoke testers. Use C instead. The named parameters are: =over =item lib Must be either a string with the name of a single library or a reference to an array of strings of library names. Depending on the compiler found, library names will be fed to the compiler either as C<-l> arguments or as C<.lib> file names. (E.g. C<-ljpeg> or C) =item libpath a string or an array of strings representing additional paths to search for libraries. =item LIBS a C-style space-separated list of libraries (each preceded by '-l') and directories (preceded by '-L'). This can also be supplied on the command-line. =item debug If true - emit information during processing that can be used for debugging. =back And libraries are no use without header files, so ... =over =item header Must be either a string with the name of a single header file or a reference to an array of strings of header file names. =item incpath a string or an array of strings representing additional paths to search for headers. =item INC a C-style space-separated list of incpaths, each preceded by '-I'. This can also be supplied on the command-line. =item ccflags Extra flags to pass to the compiler. =item ldflags Extra flags to pass to the linker. =item analyze_binary a callback function that will be invoked in order to perform custom analysis of the generated binary. The callback arguments are the library name and the path to the binary just compiled. It is possible to use this callback, for instance, to inspect the binary for further dependencies. =back =head2 check_lib_or_exit This behaves exactly the same as C except that instead of dieing, it warns (with exactly the same error message) and exits. This is intended for use in Makefile.PL / Build.PL when you might want to prompt the user for various paths and things before checking that what they've told you is sane. If any library or header is missing, it exits with an exit value of 0 to avoid causing a CPAN Testers 'FAIL' report. CPAN Testers should ignore this result -- which is what you want if an external library dependency is not available. =head2 check_lib This behaves exactly the same as C except that it is silent, returning false instead of dieing, or true otherwise. =cut sub check_lib_or_exit { eval 'assert_lib(@_)'; if($@) { warn $@; exit; } } sub check_lib { eval 'assert_lib(@_)'; return $@ ? 0 : 1; } # borrowed from Text::ParseWords sub _parse_line { my($delimiter, $keep, $line) = @_; my($word, @pieces); no warnings 'uninitialized'; # we will be testing undef strings while (length($line)) { # This pattern is optimised to be stack conservative on older perls. # Do not refactor without being careful and testing it on very long strings. # See Perl bug #42980 for an example of a stack busting input. $line =~ s/^ (?: # double quoted string (") # $quote ((?>[^\\"]*(?:\\.[^\\"]*)*))" # $quoted | # --OR-- # singe quoted string (') # $quote ((?>[^\\']*(?:\\.[^\\']*)*))' # $quoted | # --OR-- # unquoted string ( # $unquoted (?:\\.|[^\\"'])*? ) # followed by ( # $delim \Z(?!\n) # EOL | # --OR-- (?-x:$delimiter) # delimiter | # --OR-- (?!^)(?=["']) # a quote ) )//xs or return; # extended layout my ($quote, $quoted, $unquoted, $delim) = (($1 ?
