How do you folks link against DynaLoader since 5.10? The DynaLoader makefile was changed not to emit a lib/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader$(LIB_EXT) anymore, instead just copy to a DynaLoader$(OBJ_EXT), which is linked against perl, but not installed to <archlib>/CORE and not to lib/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader$(OBJ_EXT) neither. So ExtUtils::Embed::ldopts cannot find DynaLoader.a anymore (and does not look for the .o file neither) and so all attempts to link standalone files do fail. There's also no testcase for ExtUtils::Embed::ldopts usage, I just got the failures in B::C. Other embedders will fail also. If I overlooked something (with my cygwin specialities) I stand corrected, otherwise I'll happily provide a patch to fix the wrong static section in ext/DynaLoader/Makefile.PL to generate the archive again. -- Reini UrbanThread Next
