wackamole pain

Trying to rebuild wackamole to support embedded perl; a portion of
configure:

checking sys/socket.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: sys/socket.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: sys/socket.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: sys/socket.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result

Then during make:

Using freebsd 4.9 and cvs version of wackamole. Any thoughts??? Also, how
does one go about calling a C program for "on up" as opposed to Perl? I
didn't see anything about that....

Hmmm sounds like you don't have threads or multiplicity defined in your
perl build... That isn't a problem, it should be as simple as removing
perlxsi.c and typing make perlxsi.c. That file should be autogenerated
by perl -- it is a bootstrapper for embedding perl.

Now I get....

If I knew perl... *sigh*

not

make perlxsi

As a side effect, your command did make perlxsi.c, but then it went and
tried to make a binary out of it.. thats not what you want. Try typing
"make" now.

Embedding perl is one of those black arts that makes perl coders wish
they had never heard of Perl :-D

Well, at least they TRIED to get it right... perlxsi DOT C!!

Still get...

Is it possibly easier to call a C executable instead of perl, or do you
still have to have the embedded perl interpreter?

It is possible to run C routines... but not executables. That seems
pretty easy to accomplish though. Easiest to do with a perl
interpreter, but fork()/exec() isn't very complicated...

I do all my testing on perl 5.8.x, not perl 5.005. And I believe that
perl 5.6 is a bare minumum requirement. In all fairness, perl5.005 is 5
years old and even perl5.6 is 3 years old.

On FreeBSD it should be as easy as:
pkg_add -r perl5.8
/usr/local/bin/use.perl port

(if you want to switch back, just: /usr/local/bin/use.perl system)

After switching perl to the port, make clean and remove perlxsi.c and
remake. Hopefully you will see some improvement. That's the build
environment on my box here.
