Description Bill Crawford 2001-09-06 13:34:50 UTC 
Description of Problem:
perlcc is not always linking against all necessary libraries.  Specifically
I'm seeing an error

	/tmp/ccTI6P75.o: In function `xs_init':
	/tmp/ccTI6P75.o(.text+0x3409): undefined reference to `boot_DynaLoader'

or something similar for every attempt.  Basically it's failing to link
against

	/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[bill@fraser bill]$ rpm -q perl
perl-5.6.0-17

How Reproducible:

[bill@fraser bill]$ perlcc hello.pl 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compiling hello.pl:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Making C(hello.pl.c) for hello.pl!
...
gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include 
-I/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/CORE -o hello hello.pl.c  
-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/CORE -lperl -lnsl -ldl
-lm -lc -lcrypt /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/auto/IO/IO.so
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/auto/Fcntl/Fcntl.so
/tmp/ccHrUMvk.o: In function `xs_init':
/tmp/ccHrUMvk.o(.text+0x3409): undefined reference to `boot_DynaLoader'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
ERROR: In compiling code for hello.pl.c !

Expected Results:

A working executable ;o)

Additional Information:
Will attach input and output.

Fixed compilation by running instead:

	[bill@fraser bill]$ gcc -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include 
-I/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/CORE -o hello hello.pl.c  
-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/CORE
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a -lperl -lnsl
-ldl -lm -lc -lcrypt /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/auto/IO/IO.so
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux/auto/Fcntl/Fcntl.so
