Removing PERL entirely? Instructions needed.

Mckorr · Post by **Mckorr** » Tue Mar 11, 2003 9:30 am

I never use the PERL functions of MQ, doubt just about anyone does. So how do we surgically remove it from the source code so it won't be required anymore?

A search of eqlib.cpp reveals large segments of code that begin #ifdef USE_PERL, but I can't believe that simply removing these sections would be the complete solution.

Can someone post instructions on removing PERL, and what modifications need to be made so it compiles/runs smoothly?

I think that is the way to remove Perl.

Everything that has to do with Perl is trapped in the "USE_PERL" preprocessor definition.

What I would do is:

* Delete any code that is between the "USE_PERL" preprocessor definition
* Delete events.cpp/h
* Delete timers.cpp/h
* Delete PerlMod.cpp/h
* Delete PerlModCore.cpp/h
* Delete the PerlCore folder
* Delete Perl56.lib from the linker input

I'm at work so I can't test this now, but I'm pretty sure that should do it.

Since I already have working binaries I'll give it a try and see what happens... er, as soon as I back up my source code directory with all my workspace settings, etc.

Salutations,
I'm iffy about deleting events.cpp/h + timer.cpp/h

uh, why iffy? the entire files are enclosed in #ifdef USE_PERL.

in fact, I just did the above (being careful to leave what was between the #else line and #endif's) and it compiled and works fine... No more perl. Perl bad. Perl useless (to me at least).

Salutations,
I didn't actually look at the files, it just said 'events and timers' and i'm just like 'holy shit? maybe that is some essential element... *hms*' it was an auto response that i couldn't control... heh... *sighs*

wouldn't compile for me, some sort of syntax error (missing semicolon or something). Will have to check those "elses", that might have been my problem.
