Problem compiling Perl 5.10 on 11.31

[Kleener]

Hey,

Having a problem when attempting to compile Perl 5.10.0 on an Itanium 11.31 system. Run the sh Configure -de which completes and then when I run a make I get the following error

# make
`sh cflags "optimize='-g -O'" miniperlmain.o` miniperlmain.c
CCCMD = gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -D_HPUX_SOURCE -DDEBUGGING -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -g -O -Wall
sh: gcc: not found.
*** Error exit code 127

Stop.


It is using gcc 4.2.3

If anyone has any ideas it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Brian

Apologies - Just started make to get the error without updating the PATH

The actual error I am seeing is

# make
`sh cflags "optimize='-g -O'" miniperlmain.o` miniperlmain.c
CCCMD = gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -D_HPUX_SOURCE -DDEBUGGING -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -g -O -Wall
In file included from /usr/include/sys/stat.h:36,
from perl.h:1137,
from miniperlmain.c:36:
/usr/include/sys/_stat_body.h:63: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'blksize_t'
*** Error exit code 1

Stop.


Sorry about that - Thanks

My 4.2.1 also fails the same way because /usr/local/lib/gcc/ia64-hp-hpux11.23/4.2.1/include/sys/types.h doesn't include blksize_t.

You may have to do mkheaders as mentioned by Steve in:

dennis - Spot on -Thanks for that...Had a closer look at the gcc and it was for version 11.23. Have uninstalled the gcc and reinstalled the correct version which is getting me well past that error.

Latest make error is
In file included from HiRes.xs:749:
const-c.inc: In function 'constant_14':
const-c.inc:102: error: 'CLOCK_REALTIME' undeclared (first use in this function)
const-c.inc:102: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
const-c.inc:102: error: for each function it appears in.)

HiRes.c:1595: error: 'CLOCK_REALTIME' undeclared (first use in this function)

Stop.

Stop.


Thought I saw a post on this a while ago so will have a sniff around. If you know the problem then feel free to enlighten me and thanks again for your posts.

Mentions commenting out the following three lines from the file

perl-5.10.0/ext/Time/HiRes/HiRes.xs (line 74)

/* HP-UX has CLOCK_XXX values but as enums, not as defines.
* The only way to detect these would be to test compile for each. */
# ifdef __hpux
# define CLOCK_REALTIME CLOCK_REALTIME
# define CLOCK_VIRTUAL CLOCK_VIRTUAL
# define CLOCK_PROFILE CLOCK_PROFILE
# endif /* # ifdef __hpux */


Will give that a whirl - The other suggestion was an updated version of this file but the link doesn't seem to work

Am closing off this thread as the above seemed to work fine for me
