Compiling wine problem: redhat 8 libperl-devel?

[Mike Hearn]

Hi,

As the prospect of having to go back to XP is looming if I can't get the
adobe svg plugin working properly, I'm trying to build my own Wine, and
then point CrossOver to it so stuff like IE will (hopefully) continue to
work well. Unfortunately the compile dies when it tries to build
winetest, as I think it needs the libperl development headers.
Unfortunately I can't find an RPM of these headers anywhere, does
anybody know where I could find them?

thanks -mike

My perl headers (XSUB.h, etc.) come from perl-5.8.0; there's no separate 
package for headers (at least on RH-8.0).

OK, yeah, it turns out I do seem to have the headers, I was thrown by
the odd location of them.....

The actual source of the error is this function in winetest.c (this is
after preprocessing btw)

static void xs_init(void)
{
    extern void boot_wine(CV *cv);
    Perl_newXS(my_perl, "wine::bootstrap",boot_wine,"winetest.c");
}

which causes this output:

gcc -c -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../include `perl -MExtUtils::Embed
-e perl_inc` -g -O2 -Wall -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -fPIC -DSTRICT
-DNONAMELESSUNION -DNONAMELESSSTRUCT `perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccflags`
-D_REENTRANT -I/usr/X11R6/include -o winetest.o winetest.c

winetest.c: In function `xs_init':
winetest.c:158: `my_perl' undeclared (first use in this function)

no idea what could be causing this particular problem. Is there any way
of turning off compilation of winetest?

Mike,

programs/winetest/* has been removed some time ago, have you updated to
the latest CVS?
