Perl configuration problem...

[Jonathan Caplette_1]

Hi guys,

I've a DBA who's trying to configure Perl 5.8.6 and got error.

Here's what he run:

sh Configure -Dcc=gcc -Dprefix=/psoft/a_common/perl -des -Accflags=-fPIC -Duseithreads –Duselargefiles

Here's what he got:

./makedepend[158]: makefile: Cannot find or open the file.

echo Makefile.SH cflags.SH config_h.SH makeaperl.SH makedepend.SH makedir.SH myconfig.SH writemain.SH pod/Makefile.SH | tr ' ' '\n' >.shlist

Updating makefile...

cp: cannot access makefile: No such file or directory

test -s perlmain.c && touch perlmain.c

cd x2p; make depend

sh ../makedepend MAKE=make

echo hash.c str.c util.c walk.c | tr ' ' '\n' >.clist

Finding dependencies for hash.o.

Finding dependencies for str.o.

Finding dependencies for util.o.

Finding dependencies for walk.o.

echo Makefile.SH cflags.SH | tr ' ' '\n' >.shlist

Updating makefile...

Now you must run 'make'.


Anybody have any clue??? I don't know anything on Perl!!!

Thanks
Jonath

Hi Jonath,

Why bother compiling Perl yourselves?
Just get the precompiled binaries from Merijn's website - here:

http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/

He has every flavor available in either 32 or 64 bit.

Rgds,
Jeff
