clang: error: no input files

Closed this issue · 4 comments

When I ran 'perl Makefile.PL && make && make test' I got:

WARNING: Setting ABSTRACT via file 'lib/XSFun.pm' failed
at /System/Library/Perl/5.16/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 609.

and finally :

cc -mmacosx-version-min=10.9 -arch x86_64 -arch i386 -bundle -undefined dynamic_lookup -L/usr/local/lib -fstack-protector -o blib/arch/auto/XSFun/XSFun.bundle

clang: error: no input files
make: *** [blib/arch/auto/XSFun/XSFun.bundle] Error 1

I cut and pasted the file contents from the web pages, the directories and files look good, any suggestions as to what caused this? BTW, I'm new to GitHub and recently to perl, but I am an old C hand.
Thanks

I have no idea what the differences with clang is. I'm not familiar with it... I'll try to take a look at it.

@Peter-Murphy According to this blogpost and the mailing list perl Makefile.PL CC=/usr/bin/clang should be used to generate the Makefile.

I also had to install the libchromaprint-dev package since it was a required dependency, and the Test::MemoryGrowth CPAN module in order to run the tests.

Compiling the module went well:

@xsawyerx should this issue be closed ?

@wsdookadr I missed your responses. Thank you for taking the time to write this information down. Also, feel free to throw a PR to document it in the tutorial as well.

Thanks.
