Because the OpenDWG toolkit is not GPL, I cannot distribute it or any part of it with this module. You will have to get the toolkit and install it under /usr/local/lib/ and /usr/local/include/. There is also the sore spot of the adinit.dat file, which the toolkit has to have each time it starts. The Makefile.PL will search your /usr/ and /home/ directories for this and set the value as a constant in the functions.c file. Alternatively, you can explicitely specify an initfile with the --adinit flag. If you don't have something of a similar setup, hack on the Makefile.PL and the "use Inline" portion of DWGI.pm. Better yet, find a way for all of this to work automagically and send me the code. Also, write more tests and send me those. Thanks, and hope this works for you (drop me a line and let me know if and how you are using it.) So, if you have everything setup, just do: perl Makefile.PL [--help], [--adinit ] make make test make install
