Subject: meson/msys2 fails with plperl/Strawberry
Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2023 08:46:42 -0400
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

Hi,


config/perl.m4 contains this:


    AC_MSG_CHECKING(for flags to link embedded Perl)
    if test "$PORTNAME" = "win32" ; then
         perl_lib=`basename $perl_archlibexp/CORE/perl[[5-9]]*.lib .lib`
         if test -e "$perl_archlibexp/CORE/$perl_lib.lib"; then
             perl_embed_ldflags="-L$perl_archlibexp/CORE -l$perl_lib"
         else
             perl_lib=`basename $perl_archlibexp/CORE/libperl[[5-9]]*.a .a | sed 's/^lib//'`
             if test -e "$perl_archlibexp/CORE/lib$perl_lib.a"; then
                 perl_embed_ldflags="-L$perl_archlibexp/CORE -l$perl_lib"
             fi
         fi
    else
         pgac_tmp1=`$PERL -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts`
         pgac_tmp2=`$PERL -MConfig -e 'print "$Config{ccdlflags} $Config{ldflags}"'`
         perl_embed_ldflags=`echo X"$pgac_tmp1" | sed -e "s/^X//" -e "s%$pgac_tmp2%%"`
    fi
    AC_SUBST(perl_embed_ldflags)dnl

I don't see any equivalent in meson.build of the win32 logic, and thus I 
am getting a setup failure on fairywren when trying to move it to meson, 
while it will happily build with autoconf.

I would expect the ld flags to be "-LC:/STRAWB~1/perl/lib/CORE -lperl532"

(Off topic peeve - one of the things I dislike about meson is that the 
meson.build files are written in YA bespoke language).


cheers


andrew
