Perl 5.6.1 Installation

[Scottt]

I am trying to compile Perl 5.6.1 on HP-UX 11.00 with HP aC++ Compiler (S800) (B3913DB). The product is installed in /opt/aCC/bin/aCC. Can I use the stated compiler to compile Perl 5.6.1? If so, what are the command line options to do the same? If not, what can I use to compile Perl? I tried compiling using sh Configure -Dcc=/opt/aCC/bin/aCC and it generated the error 328: "gccvers.c", line 10 # Function 'exit' has not been defined yet; cannot call. This is followed by "Your C compiler /opt/aCC/bin/aCC doesn't seem to be working!". Any help is much appreciated

why waste your time trying to compile it when you can download Perl precompiled from HP;

Thanks Stefan,

What about installing DBI modules? DO you need to compile those ????

If so what compiler do we use?

Thanks again

I use the HP ANSI C compiler to build PERL. I also have HP aC++, but I don't think it's being used. If you're building PERL 5.6.1 on HPUX 11.x, it is recommended to build non-threaded PERL linked with pthread for the latest DBD::Oracle. Use the information in the attached `perl -V` output while walking through Configure.
