Compile Perl 5.8.0 fails at Making Digest::MD5 (dynamic)

[Peter Kain]

I'm trying to compile Perl 5.8.0 on a N-Class (11i) using HP's C compiler

B.11.11.04 HP C/ANSI C Developer's Bundle for HP-UX 11.i (S800)

make fails

I've checked out Procura's web site but he used GCC for his Perl 5.8.0.

I really don't want to use GCC since I have HP's C compiler.

Has anyone compiled Perl 5.8.0 on an 11i system with HP's C compiler with the default modules.

I removed all references to
Digest/MD5 from the config.sh
file and it compiled.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I am getting the same type of errors "cc: "/usr/include/sys/socket.h", line 504: warning 562: Redeclaration of "sendfile" with a different storage class specifier: "sendfile" will have internal linkage" Have you found a fix to this error?

A good choice to use HP C-ANSI-C.

I don't have 11i, so I cannot help you there. I know however that there have been some recent updates to MD5, so what you can /try/ is to disable MD5 from the core, and add it later.

I do not know the Configure option by head, but what you can try is

# chmod 000 ext/Digest

or change config.sh after Configure and remove MD5 from the list of configured modules, and than add the CPAN version later. AT least it is easier to debug and solve for one modules, than it is to do it in the CORE distribution.

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn
