3. compiling using MakeMaker?

Makefile.PL

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; WriteMakefile( 'NAME' => 'ccode', 'OBJECT' => 'ccode.o ccode_wrap.o' ); perl Makefile.PL make

manual way:

3. compiling (+ figuring out the configuration of perl) # perl -e 'use Config; print $Config{ccflags};' -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DTHREADS_HAVE_PIDS -DDEBIAN -fno-strict-aliasing -I/ usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 gcc -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DTHREADS_HAVE_PIDS -DDEBIAN -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -c sample.c sa mple_wrap.c -I /usr/lib/perl/5.8.4/CORE creates: sample.o sample_wrap.o 4. linking ld -G sample.o sample_wrap.o -o sample.so 5. installation cp sample.so /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.4 cp sample.pm /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.4

6. testing [[Code] perl <<EOF > use sample; > samplec::printtext; > EOF hello world
