.SH "NAME"
Inline\-Support \- Support Information for Inline.pm and related modules.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This document contains all of the latest support information for \f(CW\*(C`Inline.pm\*(C'\fR
and the recognized Inline Language Support Modules (ILSMs) available on \s-1CPAN.\s0
.SH "SUPPORTED LANGUAGES"
.IX Header "SUPPORTED LANGUAGES"
The most important language that Inline supports is \f(CW\*(C`C\*(C'\fR. That is because Perl
itself is written in \f(CW\*(C`C\*(C'\fR. By giving a your Perl scripts access to \f(CW\*(C`C\*(C'\fR, you
in effect give them access to the entire glorious internals of Perl. (Caveat
scriptor :\-)
.PP
As of this writing, Inline also supports:
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\*(C+
.IP "\(bu" 4
Java
.IP "\(bu" 4
Python
.IP "\(bu" 4
Tcl
.IP "\(bu" 4
Assembly
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\s-1CPR\s0
.IP "\(bu" 4
And even Inline::Foo! :)
.PP
Projects that I would most like to see happen in the year 2001 are:
.IP "\(bu" 4
Fortran
.IP "\(bu" 4
Ruby
.IP "\(bu" 4
Lisp
.IP "\(bu" 4
Guile
.IP "\(bu" 4
Bash

.SH "SUPPORTED PLATFORMS"
.IX Header "SUPPORTED PLATFORMS"
\&\f(CW\*(C`Inline::C\*(C'\fR should work anywhere that \s-1CPAN\s0 extension modules (those that use
\&\s-1XS\s0) can be installed, using the typical install format of:
.PP
.Vb 4
\& perl Makefile.PL
\& make
\& make test
\& make install
.Ve
.PP
It has been tested on many Unix and Windows variants.
.PP
\&\fB\s-1NOTE\s0\fR: \f(CW\*(C`Inline::C\*(C'\fR requires Perl 5.005 or higher because
\&\f(CW\*(C`Parse::RecDescent\*(C'\fR requires it. (Something to do with the \f(CW\*(C`qr\*(C'\fR operator)
.PP
Inline has been successfully tested at one time or another on the following
platforms:
.IP "\(bu" 4
Linux
.IP "\(bu" 4
Solaris
.IP "\(bu" 4
SunOS
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\s-1HPUX\s0
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\s-1AIX\s0
.IP "\(bu" 4
FreeBSD
.IP "\(bu" 4
OpenBSD
.IP "\(bu" 4
BeOS
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\s-1OS X\s0
.IP "\(bu" 4
WinNT
.IP "\(bu" 4
Win2K
.IP "\(bu" 4
WinME
.IP "\(bu" 4
Win98
.IP "\(bu" 4
Cygwin
.PP
The Microsoft tests deserve a little more explanation. I used the following:
.IP "\(bu" 4
Windows \s-1NT 4.0 \s0(service pack 6)
.IP "\(bu" 4
Perl 5.005_03 (ActiveState build 522)
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\s-1MS\s0 Visual \*(C+ 6.0
.IP "\(bu" 4
The \*(L"nmake\*(R" make utility (distributed w/ Visual \*(C+)
.PP
\&\f(CW\*(C`Inline::C\*(C'\fR pulls all of its base configuration (including which \f(CW\*(C`make\*(C'\fR
utility to use) from \f(CW\*(C`Config.pm\*(C'\fR. Since your MSWin32 version of Perl probably
came from ActiveState (as a binary distribution) the \f(CW\*(C`Config.pm\*(C'\fR will
indicate that \f(CW\*(C`nmake\*(C'\fR is the system's \f(CW\*(C`make\*(C'\fR utility. That is because
ActiveState uses Visual \*(C+ to compile Perl.
.PP
To install \f(CW\*(C`Inline.pm\*(C'\fR (or any other \s-1CPAN\s0 module) on MSWin32 w/ Visual \*(C+,
use these:
.PP
.Vb 4
\& perl Makefile.PL
\& nmake
\& nmake test
\& nmake install
.Ve
.PP
Inline has also been made to work with Mingw32/gcc on all Windows platforms.
This is a free compiler for Windows. You must also use a perl built with
that compiler.
.PP
The \*(L"Cygwin\*(R" test was done on a Windows 98 machine using the Cygwin Unix/Win32
porting layer software from Cygnus. The \f(CW\*(C`perl\*(C'\fR binary on this machine was
also compiled using the Cygwin tool set (\f(CW\*(C`gcc\*(C'\fR). This software is freely
available from
.PP
If you get Inline to work on a new platform, please send me email email. If it
doesn't work, let me know as well and I'll see what can be done.
