compile error: Perl_get_context

[strider51]

hello,

HAVING AN ISSUE LINKING: -- EDIT
having an issue compiling. Where is this function ? I searched online and in my folders and the forum.

Where is the lib that I have to link? The folders are full of .pms ?

Thanks,

[strider51]

update -
CMAKE auto linked my perl to c:/Perl64. (I installed this thinking it was needed)
I deleted those folders and re-ran CMAKE. They're now pointing to the 32 bit perl version 5.12 which is in c:/perl (which i saw when looking at world's properties)

I'll let you all know if this compiles.

ok still not working... I have 5.12 all linked properly. not sure whats up

[strider51]

so the error is : Unresolved External Symbol <random perl calls>. WHich i'm assuming means that it cannot find that function in the lib that its linking. I checked I have a lib in the path C:\Perl\lib\CORE\perl512.lib .

any ideas ?

Did cmake run completely? Where did it point for perl lib?

[strider51]

looks like the right dir. check out my cmake output below.
Thanks for the help man.

Is that the 32 bit version? It looks like everything else is 64.

[strider51]

And.... That was it. I had 2 versions of perl installed which messed me up.

Uninstalled all. Installed only 5.16 x64.

Thanks for the help!

You're welcome.
