Unable to compile perl

[Devaraj R]

Hi,

I am trying to build perl 5.6.1 on HP-UX B.11.11 U 9000/899 with ANSI C version B.11.11.12 for hp-ux. I have configured the policy file. When I run make I get the following message.

Why 5.6.1? Why not 5.6.2? Why not 5.8.8?
What is in your Policy.sh?
How did you call Configure?

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

Hi,

ready-to-use perl versions 5.8.7 and 5.8.8 are available on http://software.hp.com

http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=PERL

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Torsten, I bet he knows, but

5.6.x is not available for 11.11
All available builds are GNU gcc builds, so I bet he probably has a good reason to recompile from scratch with HP C-ANSI-C

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

[Torsten.]

Oh, I see: almost all builds are here:
http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/

You are the pharao ... ;-)

Builds on software.hp.com are gcc builds too?

Perhaps we will experience his need for an ansi c build.

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

ANSI-C builds are faster, but you will need the same compiler when you want to add XS modules

OK, it *can* be done with a different ANSI C compiler (GNU gcc for example), but that is like diving head-first into an empty concrete swimming pool filled with snakes.

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
