It works by trying to compile this: int main(void) { return 0; } and linking it to the specified libraries. If something pops out the end which looks executable, then we know that it worked. That tiny program is built once for each library that you specify, and (without linking) once for each header file. =head1 FUNCTIONS All of these take the same named parameters and are exported by default. To avoid exporting them, C. =head2 assert_lib This takes several named parameters, all of which are optional, and dies with an error message if any of the libraries listed can not be found. B: dying in a Makefile.PL or Build.PL may provoke a 'FAIL' report from CPAN Testers' automated smoke testers. Use C instead. The named parameters are: =over =item lib Must be either a string with the name of a single library or a reference to an array of strings of library names. Depending on the compiler found, library names will be fed to the compiler either as C<-l> arguments or as C<.lib> file names. (E.g. C<-ljpeg> or C) =item libpath a string or an array of strings representing additional paths to search for libraries. =item LIBS a C-style space-seperated list of libraries (each preceded by '-l') and directories (preceded by '-L'). =back And libraries are no use without header files, so ... =over =item header Must be either a string with the name of a single header file or a reference to an array of strings of header file names. =item incpath a string or an array of strings representing additional paths to search for headers. =item INC a C-style space-seperated list of incpaths, each preceded by '-I'. =back =head2 check_lib_or_exit This behaves exactly the same as C except that instead of dieing, it warns (with exactly the same error message) and exits. This is intended for use in Makefile.PL / Build.PL when you might want to prompt the user for various paths and things before checking that what they've told you is sane. If any library or header is missing, it exits with an exit value of 0 to avoid causing a CPAN Testers 'FAIL' report. CPAN Testers should ignore this result -- which is what you want if an external library dependency is not available. =cut sub check_lib_or_exit { eval 'assert_lib(@_)'; if($@) { warn $@; exit; } } sub assert_lib { my %args = @_; my (@libs, @libpaths, @headers, @incpaths); # FIXME: these four just SCREAM "refactor" at me @libs = (ref($args{lib}) ? @{$args{lib}} : $args{lib}) if $args{lib}; @libpaths = (ref($args{libpath}) ? @{$args{libpath}} : $args{libpath}) if $args{libpath}; @headers = (ref($args{header}) ? @{$args{header}} : $args{header}) if $args{header}; @incpaths = (ref($args{incpath}) ? @{$args{incpath}} : $args{incpath}) if $args{incpath}; # work-a-like for Makefile.PL's LIBS and INC arguments if(defined($args{LIBS})) { foreach my $arg (split(/\s+/, $args{LIBS})) { die("LIBS argument badly-formed: $arg\n") unless($arg =~ /^-l/i); push @{$arg =~ /^-l/ ? \@libs : \@libpaths}, substr($arg, 2); } } if(defined($args{INC})) { foreach my $arg (split(/\s+/, $args{INC})) { die("INC argument badly-formed: $arg\n") unless($arg =~ /^-I/); push @incpaths, substr($arg, 2); } } my @cc = _findcc(); my @missing; # first figure out which headers we can't find ... for my $header (@headers) { my($ch, $cfile) = File::Temp::tempfile( 'assertlibXXXXXXXX', SUFFIX => '.c' ); print $ch qq{#include <$header>\nint main(void) { return 0; }\n}; close($ch); my $exefile = File::Temp::mktemp( 'assertlibXXXXXXXX' ) . $Config{_exe}; my @sys_cmd; # FIXME: re-factor - almost identical code later when linking if ( $Config{cc} eq 'cl' ) { # Microsoft compiler require Win32; @sys_cmd = (@cc, $cfile, "/Fe$exefile", (map { '/I'.Win32::GetShortPathName($_) } @incpaths)); } elsif($Config{cc} =~ /bcc32(\.exe)?/) { # Borland @sys_cmd = (@cc, (map { "-I$_" } @incpaths), "-o$exefile", $cfile); } else { # Unix-ish # gcc, Sun, AIX (gcc, cc) @sys_cmd = (@cc, $cfile, (map { "-I$_" } @incpaths), "-o", "$exefile"); } warn "# @sys_cmd\n" if $args{debug}; my $rv = $args{debug} ? system(@sys_cmd) : _quiet_system(@sys_cmd); push @missing, $header if $rv != 0 || ! -x $exefile; _cleanup_exe($exefile); unlink $cfile; } # now do each library in turn with no headers my($ch, $cfile) = File::Temp::tempfile( 'assertlibXXXXXXXX', SUFFIX => '.c' ); print $ch "int main(void) { return 0; }\n"; close($ch); for my $lib ( @libs ) { my $exefile = File::Temp::mktemp( 'assertlibXXXXXXXX' ) . $Config{_exe}; my @sys_cmd; if ( $Config{cc} eq 'cl' ) { # Microsoft compiler require Win32; my @libpath = map { q{/libpath:} .
