I am hoping this changes. I know that <a href="http://use.perl.org/%7EAlias/journal/39476">Alias</a> is interested in this too. <br /><br />Here are steps needed to solve this:<br /><ol><li>Find out exactly what gcc flags are needed to make this work with strawberry's toolchain</li><li>Get the deps <a href="http://cloud.github.com/downloads/kthakore/SDL_perl/sdlperl-deps.tar.bz2">here</a>. Put the deps in C:/strawberry/c.</li><li> Try to make a Module::Build script work for win32 and win64 (There are differences apparently) </li><li>Try and emulate this in our current build system ( <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/22a6ead04e0d03fda8060d73c6f66cac2c49eae6/make/lib/SDL/Build.pm">make/lib/Build.pm</a>, and <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/22a6ead04e0d03fda8060d73c6f66cac2c49eae6/make/lib/SDL/Build/MSWin32.pm">make/lib/Build/Win32.pm</a> )</li><li>Give me a shout on <a href="http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=SDL_Perl">RT</a> or <a href="mailto:mailto:sdl-devel@perl.org">sdl-devel@perl.org</a> ( even if you just make it to 3.)</li><li> Enjoy SDL and lots of ++ from Alias, CSJewell and SDL_perl devs. <br /></li></ol><sarcasm> There easy as pie </sarcasm><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-2619755134262449430?l=yapgh.blogspot.com'/></div></div></div>

+Lately we have been working on cleaning up the XS name spaces of SDL perl. After some bumps and falls we came up with a separated Rect module. Rect is one of the most simple C struct as shown below. <br />
+<br />

+</script><br />
+<br />
+Using the awesome <a href="http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/DMR/CookBookB-19960430/perlobject.map">perlobject.map</a> as a reference I was able to create a <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/a1b835c168ec184abc01edbc01862ffa15624c26/lib/SDL/Rect.pm">blessed perl</a> object in <a href="http://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl/blob/a1b835c168ec184abc01edbc01862ffa15624c26/src/Rect.xs">XS</a>. So now SDL::Rect->new(...) gave us a blessed reference ready to go. And as an icing it would destroy itself properly no matter where it was used. But once I brought it into our existing code base, garu pointed out the extending it was a little bit of a mess. So far to extend Rect we have to something like below. Any comment or advice would be much appreciated.<br />

+Have at it I am a big boy. You can grab the code like this.<br />
+Only If you don't already have a local git repo:<br />
+<br />
+<blockquote>mkdir SDL<br />
+cd SDL<br />
+git init .</blockquote><br />
+Then do this or skip to this if you already have a local git repo<br />
+<blockquote>git pull git://github.com/kthakore/SDL_perl.git experimental</blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3102167581424744259-3340771783563950133?l=yapgh.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
