Message Extractor Example in C

Installation

You have to install the Perl mdoule Inline::C.

If your package manager does not have a package for Inline::C you have the following options:

CPAN Module

Try first:

sudo cpan install Inline::C

If the command cpan cannot be found, try instead:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Inline::C'

From Sources

When you build the module, you should try to use the same C compiler that was used for compiling the Perl interpreter. You can use the command perl -V in order to find out how the Perl interpreter was built.

From CPAN

Go to http://search.cpan.org/~tinita/Inline-C/ and click the link "Download".

Then follow the usual Perl installation plethora:

tar xzf Inline-C-VERSION.tar.gz
cd Inline-Python
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
sudo make install

Note that dependencies are not automatically installed! Please read the output of perl Makefile.PL carefully!

From Git

Alternatively, you can use the latest sources from Git:

git clone https://github.com/ingydotnet/inline-c-pm 
cd Inline-C
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
sudo make install

Note that dependencies are not automatically installed! Please read the output of perl Makefile.PL carefully!

Usage

The README.md for all samples contains exhaustive documentation for the Python example.
