Hi,

I'm trying to compile gimp-perl, and I have a few questions :

1- Running perl ./Makefile.PL is almost OK, but : Unrecognized argument in LIBS ignored: '-pthread' Won't gimp-perl use threads ?

2 - Running make is once more almost OK, but I get some warnings :

/usr/lib/perl5/PDL/Core/ppport.h:227:1: warning: "PERL_UNUSED_DECL" redefined

Lib.xs:206: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size

Since my machine runs in 64 bits (uname -r gives 2.6.15-1-amd64-k8), should this explain next ?

3 - Running make test fails :

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jmt/local/usr/gimp-perl/Gimp' make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jmt/local/usr/gimp-perl/Gimp' make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jmt/local/usr/gimp-perl/Net' make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jmt/local/usr/gimp-perl/Net' make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jmt/local/usr/gimp-perl/UI' make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jmt/local/usr/gimp-perl/UI' PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/load.......ok

and then hangs. I checked for existence and readability of mentioned files, and do not understand.

Any hint ? Any clue ?
