Mac Forum / Programming / Perl / August 2006

None of the ideas that were provide have worked for install the CPAN
libary 'Net::SSH::Perl" because of failures wtih
'Math::GMP'. This is a summary of what I have done base on input from
this list. Since there are other also complaining, what magic is
happening with those that get this install, what we doing wrong??

The idea I have so far were to assign the PERL5LIB environmental variable
and edit the Makefile.PL in the Math::GMP install.

I. I create a directory

   /Users/mbarto/Development/Perl

   and downloaded gmp-4.2.1  from http://www.swox.com/gmp
   Untargzip the file I placed in this directory creating
 
   /Users/mbarto/Development/Perl/gmp-4.2.1
 
II. I then perfomerd in this directory:

./configure build=powerpc-apple-darwin8.7.0
make
make check

make install

This create /usr/local/lib/Math/GMP.pm

III. I tried again

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::SSH::Perl'

with PERL5LIB=/usr/local/lib as an environmental variable.

Get these error;

Looks good

IV. Now I try to

perl -MCPAN -e 'install MATH::GMP'

Also fails

Modify the :

/var/root/.cpan/build/Math-GMP-2.04/Makefile.PL

--------------------------

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
# See lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm for details of how to influence
# the contents of the Makefile that is written.

WriteMakefile(
   'NAME'      => 'Math::GMP',
   'VERSION_FROM' => 'lib/Math/GMP.pm', # finds $VERSION
#    'LIBS'     => ['-lgmp'],   # e.g., '-lm'
   'LIBS'      => ['-L/usr/local/lib', '-lgmp'],   # e.g., '-lm'
   'DEFINE'    => '',     # e.g., '-DHAVE_SOMETHING'
);

--------------------------

V. perform a make in this directory

pwbk2003:~/.cpan/build/Math-GMP-2.04 root# make
rm -f blib/arch/auto/Math/GMP/GMP.bundle
LD_RUN_PATH="" env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 cc  -bundle -undefined

What ever the solution to this is, it needs to be documented in a
cookbook fashion that is repeatable. I am will to post a page on this,
if someone can figure out a consistent process to make this happen. I
have got a couple of answers, that they have got it working, but they do
not remember how they did it. Swell!!
