[Shapelib] geo::shapelib

[BABAULT.Daniel]

I use your library on Windows XP within VisualBasic without any problems, but when I want to use it with perl it doesn'work.

Searching on internet I found some messages about my problem who seem to be link whith thread implementation.

I have contacted Bartolomeo TELARO who have same problem before, he doesnt test anymore but explain me what he does.

With aid of Bartolomeo, it works for me  I have to compile Perl whithout Multi Threading.

Perhaps you can add something about it within your distribution.

What I do :

I download AP809_source.zip from ActiveState site and Geo-Shapelib-0.07.tar.gz

I edit Makefile in the win32 Perl subdirectory and comment out the option regarding  multi-threading : I comment USE_MULTI, USE_ITHREADS and USE_IMP_SYS in order to compile.

I modify Geo-Shapelib-0.07\shapelib\Makefile.PL like this :

##########################################################
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
$Verbose = 1;

my @incdirs = ('/usr/include','/usr/local/include');
my $incs = '';
foreach (@incdirs) {
    $incs .= " -I$_";
}

WriteMakefile(
	      NAME      => 'Geo::Shapelib::shputils',
	      INC	=> $incs,
	      DEFINE    => '-ggdb -DDEBUG',
	      clean     => {'FILES' => 'libshp$(LIB_EXT)'},
	      );

sub MY::top_targets {
'
pure_all ::

all :: static

static :: libshp$(LIB_EXT)

libshp$(LIB_EXT): $(O_FILES)
	$(AR) /OUT:libshp$(LIB_EXT) $(O_FILES)
	$(RANLIB) libshp$(LIB_EXT)
';
}

#############################################################

Compiling ant testing is OK on W2k with Visual Studio 6, I've made shapes with my perl program.


Best regards
