perl: Building Curses.pm fails

Mark Landin — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 10:00:40 GMT

I'm trying to get Curses.pm installed on my system, but the CPAN shell gets this error message when it tries to compile:

Details:

HP-UX 11iv1
Perl D.5.8.8.A
CPAN version 1.7602
Standard K&R HP C compiler

I have gcc 3.0 available, but am not sure how to get CPAN to use it.

Any help appreciated!

Hi:

Since your Perl was built with the HP ANSI C compiler you really need that to compile modules requiring compilation for installation.

You can purchase that compiler here:

http://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=B9007AA

An alternative would be to fetch and install a binary 'gcc'-compiled Perl from Merijn's site:

Ok. My best bet is the gcc-compiled Perl. So then I guess my next question is, how do I get CPAN to compile modules with the gcc compiler instead of the default HP compiler?

A well-designed Perl module should honor standard environment variables.

The command

export CC=gcc

before "perl Makefile.pl" should be enough to indicate that you wish to use gcc rather than the default cc. (That's the standard way to indicate that you wish to use a non-default compiler.)

If that does not work, read the installation documentation for your module. There may be a compile-time option you can use, or a variable at the beginning of the Makefile.pl file you can edit to specify the correct compiler.

Hi (again) MArk:

> how do I get CPAN to compile modules with the gcc compiler instead of the default HP compiler?

That's automatic. Perl knows which compiler and what options to use. In fact, you can see what it knows with:

# perl -V

OK, some progress. I installed procura's gcc-compiled Perl 5.8.8 on my system. Now, when I try to compile and install Curses, I get:

For me it worked after changing Makefile.PL line 116 from:

116 'hpux' => [ '' => '-lcurses -ltermcap' ],

to:

116 'hpux' => [ '-I/usr/local/include/ncurses' => '-lcurses -ltermcap' ],

after that change comilation worked
