Steve_BZ has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi People,

I've been trying to install Inline::CPP to avoid having to re-write a large piece of C++ code and I'm having the following problem:

The problem might be related to a versioning problem, because in CPAN I first typed: install Inline CPP which installed version 0.46 of Inline. Followed by install Inline::CPP which installed version 0.25 of CPP.

    Set up gcc environment - 3.4.5 (mingw special) This will configure and build Inline::C++. What default C++ compiler would you like to use? [g++] gcc What default libraries would you like to include? [-lstdc++] Checking if your kit is complete...

    I don't know much about your problem, but the fact that you answered gcc to the question about what g++ compiler to use just caught my attention.

      Well observed.

      ...which is exactly the first error the OP is getting:

      _01basic_t_5cd2.xs:2:22: iostream.h: No such file or directory

      (Just to be clear: the primary issue here is not the deprecation warning, but the fact that the path were iostream.h resides isn't being searched when gcc is used.  The warning is just an indication that Inline::CPP is rather old/unmaintained.)

    You could try Bug #45168 for Inline-CPP: The Makefile.PL does not properly set the library path on a mac. A patch is attached. Bug #42552 for Inline-CPP: All tests fail on recent debian/g++ versions. "iostream.h" not found problem.

      Hi Anon, this looks exactly like what I'm looking for. But it's way over my pay-grade.

      update

      When it says "Setting STD_IOSTREAM to a true value helps, and all tests pass nicely.", what is STD_IOSTREAM? Is it an environment variable (I'm doing this on windows, so is it system or user)? And what does 'true' value mean? It could be "1" or does it mean a path to iostream.h which exists?

      I tried setting the system environment variable STD_IOSTREAM to '1' and running with compiler g++, but the results are the same. So I feel I must have misunderstood the patch process.

      OK, well I finally understood what the patch was saying. I edited the CPP.pm files and Makefile.PL manually (is there an automatic way of doing it?) the 'Makefile.PL' runs smoothly as does 'nmake'. But 'nmake test' gives:

      Thanks for all your efforts.

      Regards

      Steve

        You're using gcc-3.4.5, so there should be no need to install the STD_IOSTREAM patch. One thing I would recommend is that you use 'dmake' (available from CPAN or, I think, as 'ppm install dmake'). That will at least remove that crappy old version of nmake you're using from the mix of things that could cause problems, though I doubt it's the problem here.

        With 'dmake' installed, check that perl -V:make reports 'dmake'. (You may need to remove 'nmake.exe' from your path for that to happen.)

        Then, in a freshly unpacked Inline-CPP-0.25 source folder, run 'perl Makefile.PL', accepting the prompts to use 'g++' and '-lstdc++'. Then run 'dmake test' and it should work ok.

        It's not a good idea to have mingw in the msys tree .... I think that can cause problems with msys, though it shouldn't be a problem here. The simplest way to get both 'dmake' and 'mingw' for ActivePerl is to run 'ppm install MinGW' - doesn't require any path alterations or other fiddling about.

        Let us know what, if any, errors arise - also the version of Parse::RecDescent that you installed.

        Cheers,
        Rob
