Re: Building with perl hooks
By: Paul Hayton to All on Wed Jan 12 2022 10:44 am

can someone remind me how to do this please. I did it once and can't recall how as it was some time ago and I am a relatively new
fellow to linux.

If it helps, I build a deb of binkd to use in my fido hub container with perl support.

https://dev.leenooks.net/bbs/binkd/-/blob/master/.gitlab-deb-x86_64.yml

The instrutions to build that deb are above.

(It's a bit old, I probably should update.)

I believe you just need PERL=1 in your huskymak.cfg.

The build process has changed slightly but if you get the new INSTALL.asciidoc from https://github.com/huskyproject/huskybse/INSTALL.asciidoc it explains it.

Wait a minute. I though we were talking husky.. ;)

Run ./configure --help and you can see the options. I think I used --with-perl or something similar.

Thank you :) I have not looked at this but had run the process manually just now and remembered what I thought were the correct steps but then realised I'd left out the perl stuff. Al's last comment was the missing bit which I think may have just done the trick :)

That did thanks, I think I may be sorted now. Just wanting to ensure I'm running the latest build.

Bugger, I used the switch but when it compiles it looks like it is not adding it in? I wonder why. When I run it with the perl-hooks keyword in the config it errors and says unknown keyword.

Thing is the config process seems to work OK and I can see the following when I run the process

Do the missing 'yes' against the perl lines mean my version is not what is required for perl? Hmm

Do you have the perl-dev package installed?

I'm not sure if that is the correct name of the dev package but it will be similar.

If you are running debian or a derivative you can run "apt-get build-dep binkd" and that may bring in the required dependecies for you.

Perl is not mentioned in the compilation flags. I suspect the perl-dev package is or was missing when you ran make, maybe?

Looking over at my debian setup the package name is libperl-dev. Maybe try looking for that? I'm not sure of your distro but these packages can have different names from disto to distro.

It's the -dev package that's needed for binkd to build with perl support.

Make sure that is installed and then re-run "./configure --with-perl" and any other options needed and run make again.

I am fresh out of ideas but I am going to go over the output of my ./configure --with-perl and comapre it with yours and see if I can spot any differences.

I'm just guessing here but I wonder if "apt-get install build-essential" will install any missing deps?

Did you rerun configure before building and after installing perl-dev?

Hmm. How about "make -B" to make sure everything is compiled after
running "./configure" ?

Thanks to all who replied :)

Well this switch seems to have solved it.

Here's the trail of steps.

Binkd is successfully compiled.

avon@orac:/hub/temp/binkd2/binkd$ ./binkd -vv

Binkd 1.1a-113 (Jan 14 2022 10:32:23/Linux)
Compilation flags: gcc, zlib, bzlib2, perl.
Facilities: fts5004 ipv6

I have deployed this at 3:770/1 and 21:1/100 now. Which if you poll that system I should confirm this :)

How strange I needed that switch?

Best, Paul
