Perl Interpreter

================

This software is the perl_interpreter for CMISS.

It is released under the Mozilla Public License v1.1

The perl interpreter enables legacy CMISS commands to be interspersed with perl code.

Requirements

------------

To build the perl interpreter the following packages are required.

 - Build toolchain

 - CMake

 - Perl

MacOS

-----

For MacOS the system perl is not suitable for use with the perl interpreter.

You will need to install a suitable perl before configuring the perl interpreter.

A suitable perl can be installed from https://perlbrew.pl/.

Building on MacOS

"""""""""""""""""

Commands for buildng a release build of the perl interpreter using the Terminal application::

  git clone https://github.com/cmiss/perl_interpreter.git

  mkdir build-perl_interpreter

  cd build-perl_interpreter

  cmake -DINSTALL_PREFIX=../usr/local -DSTATIC_LIBPERL= ../perl_interpreter

  make

  make install

If all of these commnds successfully complete the perl interpreter will be available for using with CmGui from '../usr/local/' directory.

Please note that you will need to change the CMake configuration to actually point to the binary directory where a perl with a static perl library is found.

You can also set the variable *PERL_INTERPRETER_STATIC_LIBPERL* using a CMake Gui to the binary directory where a perl with a static perl library is found.

If the static libperl variable is not set then Cmgui may fail to start because no backup perl interpreter is available.
