Thanks; it compiles now with a few more glitches. /usr/bin/perl /usr/share/perl/5.8/ExtUtils/xsubpp \ -typemap /usr/share/perl/5.8/ExtUtils/typemap Git.xs > Git.xsc && \ mv Git.xsc Git.c Please specify prototyping behavior for Git.xs (see perlxs manual) Says xsubpp. cc -c -I. -I.. -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DTHREADS_HAVE_PIDS \ -DDEBIAN -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include \ -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O2 \ -DVERSION=\"0.01\" -DXS_VERSION=\"0.01\" -fPIC \ "-I/usr/lib/perl/5.8/CORE" -Wall -Wdeclaration-after-statement \ -g -DSHA1_HEADER='<openssl/sha.h>' \ -DGIT_VERSION=\"1.4.1.rc1.g01a1\" Git.c Git.xs: In function 'XS_Git_xs__execv_git_cmd': Git.xs:57: warning: passing argument 1 of 'free' discards qualifiers from pointer target type Git.xs: In function 'XS_Git_xs_hash_object': Git.xs:65: warning: ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code I usually compile with -Wdeclaration-after-statement so I probably get some more warnings than you saw; it probably is primarily xsubpp's fault, but you could work it around by having CODE block to be inside an extra set of braces {}. Constness reduction of free() is a bit annoying from the point of view of the coder who has to cast away constness, so I won't be too strict about that, but it would be nicer if we did not have to see the warnings. rm -f blib/arch/auto/Git/Git.so cc -shared -L/usr/local/lib Git.o -o blib/arch/auto/Git/Git.so ../libgit.a \ -lz -lcrypto \ /usr/bin/ld: ../libgit.a(exec_cmd.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC ../libgit.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [blib/arch/auto/Git/Git.so] Error 1 This is a real killer. If we compile everything with -fPIC, this goes away, but I do not think we want -fPIC for the core level tools. At least not until we are ready to do libgit.so. - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
