Configuring Perl-5.8.9 on HP PA-RISC

HI,
I'm trying to ./configure perl in an HP PA-RISC but I get this error:

Finding dependencies for pp_sort.o.
Finding dependencies for miniperlmain.o.
Finding dependencies for perlmain.o.
Finding dependencies for opmini.o.
./makedepend[159]: makefile: Cannot find or open the file.
echo Makefile.SH cflags.SH config_h.SH makeaperl.SH makedepend.SH makedir.SH myconfig.SH writemain.SH pod/Makefile.SH | tr ' ' '\n' >.shlist
Updating makefile...
cp: cannot access makefile: No such file or directory
test -s perlmain.c && touch perlmain.c
cd x2p; make depend
sh ../makedepend MAKE=make
../makedepend: Already running, exiting.
Now you must run 'make'

I'm using this command line:
./Configure -d -Dprefix='/home/install/RISCperl' -Dcc=gcc

Could any one please help me resolving this issue?
Best regards

Shalom,

Search for some of the files indicated with a find command

Then insure PATH and SHLIB_PATH includes those locations prior to running the configure script.

Re: Configuring Perl-5.8.9 on HP PA-RISC

you are very couragous to try to compile perl yourself. a better, easier and comforting (for mind and body) option would be to just get a depot from one of these places;

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Languages/perl-5.10.0/

or

HI,

I'm really astonished about the speed of the reply and really happy to feel there are expert arround me :)

Steven E. Protter>> The missing file is makefile and I think it's generated automatically from the configure script and is modified during that process. The problem is raised when executing a loop iteration in the makedepend file in this line
$sed <$mf >$mf.new -e '1,/^# AUTOMATICALLY/!d'
Where $mf is makefile.
Dirk Dierickx >> Thanks very much for the links you gave me they are very useful although I can't find the perl version 5.8.x which I need that's why I should compile. I compiled in a PROLIENT and I had no problem and I don't understand why it's not the same. I'll try also to compile in an itanium and see whether I'll have the same problem or not.
Thanks very much for your help and best regards

You can find Perl 5.8.9 directly from http://software.hp.com

http://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=PERL

version 5.8.9 is available here on HP-UX 11i v1, v2 and v3 (PA-RISC).

Re: Configuring Perl-5.8.9 on HP PA-RISC

As a side question, what PA-RISC are you building for?

HP-UX 10.20, 11.00, 11.11, or 11.23?
Not that you will need a matching 32bit or 64bit perl if you want to bind to 32bit or 64bit Oracle.

There /must/ be a reason you wanted to build perl from the sources, so what is it?

Re: Configuring Perl-5.8.9 on HP PA-RISC

Hi,

HP UX B.11.31

I just did that because I don't know were and how to find the right build for each architecture I use so I prefer building but it was not as easy as in Proliant for example and now I'm having a lot of problem to estabilish the compilation envirement in an itanium.

Thanks for your interest.

Re: Configuring Perl-5.8.9 on HP PA-RISC

Hi,

I downloaded this depot
perl_D.5.8.9.A.BETA1_HP-UX_B.11.23_IA_PA.depot

but unfortunatly it was not supported by my system version which is 11.31.

In the link https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/try.do?productNumber=PERL it doesn't seem to give hand to choose the system version. Is there any perl depot for this version please?

Itanium is not PA-Risc. PA-RISC object will run under emulation mode on Itanium, but if your target system is an Itanium (IA64), then you should get an Itanium buid, not a PA-RISC build

If you have 11.31 on PA-RISC (I didn't know that was supported), you could try to install a 11.23 or even 11.11 build on 11.31

5.8.9 for PA2.0 11.11:
http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/perl-5.8.9-dor-11.11.sd.bz

I do not have a 11.23 PA available anymore.
