- ActivePerl versions
- ===================
-
- - ActivePerl 5.6 is _not_ binary compatible to older versions of ActivePerl
- with respect to extensions. For this reason the same PDFlib DLL can _not_
- be used with ActivePerl 5.6 and older versions. The "oldperl" directory
- of the PDFlib binary distribution for Windows contains a PDFlib DLL for
- ActivePerl versions before 5.6.
-
-
- Compiling PDFlib for ActivePerl on Win32
- ========================================
- (not relevant for users of the binary distribution)
-
- The distribution is set up to be compiled with ActivePerl 5.6.
-
- With some minor modification you can also compile with ActivePerl
- versions older than 5.6 (the MSVC project contains an "oldperl" configuration
- with all of this):
-
- - Run the compiler in C++ mode (required by ActiveState). In MSVC++ 6 there
- doesn't seem to be a GUI option for C++ mode, but the compiler switch
- /Tp works.
-
- - Change the Perl include and lib paths appropriately.
-
- - Change perl56.lib to perlcore.lib.
-
-
- MacPerl
- =======
-
- In order to build a PDFlib Perl extension on the Mac, the PDFlib shared
- library must be linked against a library named PerlStub which is supplied
- with the Perl source distribution.
