I compiled Perl 5.8.0 when libperl.so support and told Configure
to name libperl.so libperl-5.8.0.so. When I run make test this
message comes up

lib/ExtUtils/t/Embed.................ld: fatal: library -lperl: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to embed_test
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
FAILED at test 1

By hand:

% cd t
env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/perl-5.8.0 ./perl -I.. -I../lib ../lib/ExtUtils/t/Embed.t
1..9
# gcc -o embed_test -I.. -fno-strict-aliasing -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/opt/sparc-solaris/installed/perl-5.8.0/lib/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/CORE embed_test.c -L.. -lperl -R /opt/sparc-solaris/installed/perl-5.8.0/lib/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/CORE ../lib/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a -L/opt/sparc-solaris/installed/perl-5.8.0/lib/5.8.0/sun4-solaris/CORE -lsocket -lnsl -ldl -lm -lc

ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to embed_test
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
not ok 1
# embed_test = ./embed_test
not ok 9 # system returned -1

I'm guessing that line 229 of lib/ExtUtils/Embed.pm needs to be fixed.

Best,
Blair

I'm under the impression that the regexp on line #105 of Embed.t
doesn't catch properly your case. What says the test output if you
uncomment line #112 ?

I'm guessing you're right.

I get this:

# ln ../libperl-5.8.0.so ../libperl.8.0.so

Well, to summarize the original bug report, when libperl.so is
built under a name like libperl-5.8.0.so, (useshrplib=true)
lib/ExtUtils/t/Embed.t fails. This is due to a regular expression
to transform the name of the shared lib file into something that
"ld -lperl" will understand. Thus, the test performs a
"ln libmynameforperl.so libperl.so" or equivalent.

This patch appears to fix this, on linux at least, but as I'm not
really familiar with the various portability / naming issues
involved here, I post it for comments.

Nobody came up with objections, so I'm putting the patch into
maint branch (from where it will find its way to blead).
Not marking this as resolved, yet, before we get more
smoke testing on this.

Jarkko applied this to maintperl as #18403, and I applied it as
#18439 to bleadperl.
