[mapserver-users] Announcing 3.6.3 -- PERL 5.8

[Joe Bussell]

So, the world of computing is still a moving target.  With the latest
rev of PERL comes changes to the C++ interface.  If you hope to compile
mapscript under PERL 5.8 you must make a hand hack to the generated SWIG
code in mapscript_wrap.c

Specifically, the macro XS(boot_mapscript) must be declared if the PERL
object is not declared.  In my world line 431 which reads
SWIGEXPORT(void) boot_mapscript(CV* cv); should be replaced with
XS(boot_mapscript);

Maybe I need to update my SWIG, I will look into this.  For anyone else
who is using PERL5.8 under Debian Linux I hope this circumvents any
headaches you may encounter.

Cordially,

Joe Bussell
