This module provides Perl5 access to the low-level C API of the X11 bindings for OpenGL (known as "GLX") It uses Perl XS on the back-end, and so requires a working C compiler.
This module is heavily based on X11::Xlib, and uses some of its back-end XS functions and structures, so you should try to make sure this module gets compiled by the same compiler as X11::Xlib.
When distributed, all you should need to do is run
perl Makefile.PL
make install
or better,
cpanm X11-GLX.tar.gz
However if you're trying to build from a fresh Git checkout, you'll need the Dist::Zilla tool (and many plugins) to create the Makefile.PL
cpanm Dist::Zilla
dzil listdeps | cpanm
dzil build
While Dist::Zilla takes the busywork and mistakes out of module authorship, it fails to address the need of XS authors to easily compile XS projects and run single testcases, rather than the whole test suite. For this, you might find the following script handy:
./dtest t/30-dwim.t # or any other testcase
which runs "dzil build" to get a clean dist, then enters the build directory and runs "perl Makefile.PL" to compile the XS, then "prove -lvb t/30-dwim.t".
