The Embperl development tree lives on the machine
svn.apache.org. This tree contains the latest Embperl bug fixes and
developments that have not made it to CPAN yet. Welcome to the
bleeding edge. Just like SVN access to the Apache development tree, the Embperl code
pulled from SVN is not guaranteed to do anything, especially not
compile or work. But - that's exactly why we are using SVN - so that
everyone has access the latest version and can help ensure that
Embperl does compile and work on all platforms, with the various
versions and configurations of Perl and Apache, once it is really
supposed to. Patches are always
welcome. Simply testing the latest snapshots is just as (if not
even more)
helpful.
To access the Subversion repositories anonymously, you will need a Subversion client.
You can also browse the ASF projects that are using Subversion with a Webbroswer via
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/. Embperl can be found at the URL https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/embperl/ To check it out use svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/embperl/trunk embperl To keep it up to date go into the embperl directory and run svn up For more help on using Subversion, consult the Subversion website (https://subversion.tigris.org/)
or Subversion book (https://svnbook.red-bean.com/).
The web site provides a list of clients and useful links (https://subversion.tigris.org/project_links.html).
As mentioned above you can browser the svn repository directly with a webbrowser at
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/embperl A more confortable way is to use https://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/perl/embperl/
There is no further development in the Embperl 1.x branch, but case it
will become necessary you can access the Embperl 1.x code via the branch
ep1, so when you checkout just run svn checkout https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/embperl/branches/ep1/
There is a SVN mailing list for Embperl (This is SVN - not a list for asking
questions about Embperl!!!). This list receives all changes which are
committed to the SVN. If you want to know what's going on which Embperl,
you can subscribe by sending a mail to embperl-CVS-request@perl.apache.org
with subscribe in the body.
Building from SVN sources | top |
Before you can build Embperl from sources that are checked out from the SVN, you need
to generate some glue code. This is done by the module ExtUtils::XSBuilder, so you
need to install it first from CPAN. When it's installed run: perl xsbuilder/source_scan.pl
perl xsbuilder/xs_generate.pl
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
