Re: [Swig-user] tests of swig/perl bindings failing in svn build -- is the problem Swig, Perl or Subversion?

Hi John,

reading about 'RTLD_GLOBAL' here, generally,

        http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/dlopen.html

& here, platform-specific (for osx),

        http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man3/dlopen.3.html

One of the following flags may be ORed into the mode argument:

     RTLD_GLOBAL Symbols exported from this image (dynamic library
or bun-dle) bundle)
                   dle) will be available to any images build with
                   -flat_namespace option to ld(1) or to calls to dlsym() when
                   using a special handle.

since these tests 'involve' svn, perl & swig, i first undertook to

add to swig 1.3.31's build env var, $LDFLAGS,

        setenv LDFLAGS "... -flat_namespace ..."

then rebuild/reinstall it, and, then,

do the same for svn, adding,

        setenv LDFLAGS "... -flat_namespace ..."

and, again, then rebuilding/reinstalling svn & the perl bindings.

unfortunately,

        make check-swig-pl

still fails as above. :-/

is it a problem with the perl env itself?

on my sys, perl is built NOT with/for -flat_namespace, but rather, for
a 2level_namespace,

  perl -V | grep archname
    osname=darwin, osvers=8.8.0, archname=darwin-thread-multi-2level

Is there some other specific config/flag/switch/knob to try?

Thanks!
