Build perl 5.8.2 on HPUX 11.11 make fails - getspnam

[Vinnie Lima]

Hi,

"make" fails during compilation of perl 5.8.2 on hpux 11i (11.11) using:

nmcmadam:/opt/patches/perl-5.8.2> gcc -v

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Any reason you want to build perl yourself? You can fetch 5.8.1 for 11i prebuilt with gcc-3.3.2 from my site[1] right now, and once I have Tk804.025 up and running, and DBI-1.39, I am about to upload prebuilt 5.8.2 also for 11i (FWIW the 11.00 ports are already available)

Yes, using pre-built perl has always been a bad idea in my previous experiences. Causes problems when installing some modules (some modules will error out for the minute things). Specially in hpux.

Additionally, I like my perl installed under /opt versus scattered accross /usr/nowhere locations =)

Thanks though.

[H.Merijn Brand (procura · Accepted solution]

My perl install under /opt/perl (32bit) or /opt/perl64 (64bit) :)

The gcc I built it with is also available on that site, so what can go wrong?

FWIW, I've never seen you error before, but I guess a library is missing

Hi,

Sorry, I thought your perl builds were like your gcc 3.3.2 builds under /usr/local/...

I couldnt find the perl 5.8.2 hpux 11.11/64 build on your site? I could only find:

-perl 5.8.1 + defined-or prepared for Oracle + DBI 1.38 + Tk 800.024 built with gcc-3.3.1

â perl 5.8.1 prepared for Oracle + DBI 1.38 + Tk 800.024 built with gcc-3.3.1

Am I looking at the right place? I went to http://www.cmve.net/~merijn/

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Yes, you are. I've looked more closely at your error, and I'm under the assumption that this is a 64bit gcc. Right?

Did you add -Duse64bitall to Configure? You cannot build a 32bit perl wit a 64bit gcc.

And my 11i is so slow that I decided to wait for DBI-1.39 and Tk804.025 before I ported 5.8.2 to 11i. Do you mind the defined-or patch?

I might speed up the port now that someone is actually asking for 5.8.2 for 11i. Please do read my comments in the Perl section of my site, since most of what I answered here is written there.

Hi,

I didnt try it before, so i went ahead and tried that option and still no luck - same error.

Actually, even if you dont specify that option, it will still build it as 64-bit:

*** This version of gcc uses 64 bit longs. -Duse64bitall is
*** implicitly set to enable continuation

I dont mind what fixes you have to put to it...i just need perl built! =) Also, could you have a prebuilt binary of 5.8.2 without any Oracle DBI modules pre-installed? I dont mind for it much, but understand that most perl users on your site need it.

If you need me to run any additional commands, let me know. I have access to more hpux machines than i care for =)

Thanks again,
v.

64bit perl-5.8.2 is building :)

probably this week, but I've got more to do.

I can't include a DBD::Oracle, because of way to many reasons: different versions, different install path's and above all, I don't have Oracle64 on any of my machines and only Oracle-8.1.7.4/32 on 11.00

FWIW DBD::Oracle-1.15 is to be released *very* soon now, and if you can find Ralph Grohe's posts, you can see that it builds out of the box if you just read README.hpux very carefully

I'll include DBI-1.39, but I will leave out Tk for now

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn [ Don't forget the points ]

[Vinnie Lima]

Sounds great!

Now you wouldnt mind sharing your compile option secrets, would you? ;)

Are you using the hp ansi c compiler or gcc?

Thanks again.

v.

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

uploading. please wait an hour or so before fetching

perl-5.8.2/64 for 11i + defined or + DBI-1.39
built with gcc-3.3.2/64

No Tk (yet)

13.4 Mb compressed

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn [ now going to bed ]

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Upload done.
Don't forget the point asignment
DBD::Oracle-1.15 beta (BETA!) is available on
http://homepage.eircom.net/~timbunce/DBD-Oracle-1.15-20030922beta.tar.gz

I've shared almost all of my knowledge in hints/hpux.sh which I rewrote, and looking at the message you got, it works. I still guess you miss some include files and/or libraries, or just got a bad port of gcc

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn [ Now realy off to bed ]

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Tk-804.025-beta6 now added (along with some IMHO basic Tk modules, see site)

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

[Vinnie Lima]

How can I access the newly distributed perl 5.8.2? I cant find it on your website - http://www.cmve.net/~merijn/

thnx,
v.

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

The download section has in the rightmost column (11.11 / 64)

"perl 5.8.2 + defined-or prepared for Oracle + DBI 1.39 + Tk 804.025_b6 built with gcc-3.3.2"

which points to

http://www.cmve.net/~mbrand/perl-5.8.2-dor-gcc-3.3.2-11.11-elf64-ora.tbz

and I realy appreciate some points

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

[Vinnie Lima]

Can you provide me with your compilation options that enabled you to build such binary?

That way the community can also learn about it if source compilation is needed.

Thank you
v.

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

# perl -V

will pass you all you need to know

[Vinnie Lima]

Great thanks. Just installed your 5.8.2 11i 64-bit bundle and it works PERFECT. All my modules are compiling flawlessly.

Thanks again,
v.

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

You are welcome. happy to be of someone's relief again :)

And I mean it. perl -V should show you all you need, and what's left can be found in the README's and on my site.

please assign points to all answers, 0 points is OK

Enjoy your perl, and feel free to ask again.

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn
