But I'm afraid for HPUX 11.00 you'll have to build it.

perl-5.8.6 is the latest stable released version, available on my web site for 11.00

perl-5.8.7 is to be expected end of March 2005

My HP ITRC site pages can be found at (please use LA as primary choice):

USA Los Angeles http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/
SGP Singapore https://www.beepz.com/personal/merijn/

Dears,
I'm trying to install Perl5.8.6 when I got the following error:
gcc: +O2: No such file or directory
gcc: +Onolimit: No such file or directory
I can't compile the test program.
(The supplied flags or libraries might be incorrect.)

I alrady have both gcc and cc compilers
gcc version 3.3.2 (TWW)
and here is cc info:
cc: informational note 404: NLSPATH is /opt/ansic/lib/nls/msg/%L/%N.cat:/opt/ansic/lib/nls/msg/C/%N.cat:
cc: informational note 404: INCLUDIR is INCLUDIR=/usr/include


can anyone help ?

I think your gcc is a bit outdate so the flags like O2 not implemented there, try to upgrade your gcc:

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Those options you see are options for the HP C-ANSI-C compiler, which looks like you are trying to build perl from scratch.

Please tell us what package/distribution you downloaded, and what you are trying to achieve.

In most cases, downloading a precompiled binary package will serve your needs.

If you don't have HP's C-ANSI-C compiler, you will need GNU gcc to compile Perl, because Perl requires a full ANSI C compiler, which HP's bundled C compiler is not.

You will need a C compiler when you
- want to rebuild Perl from scratch (and you probably don't want to do that)
- want to add XS modules to your Perl binaries, like DBD-Oracle

Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

I already have GNU gcc 3.3.2
The URL you just provide me is to install gcc 3.4.3 for hp-ux 11.11

The box i have is hp-ux 11.00

What can I do ?

[Alex Lavrov.]

At the bottom o the page, there are sources that you can build on an OS version.

Try to compile the compiler and then compile perl ;)

[Ahmed Attia Sweilem]

Unfortuntly, I'm not an expert in using Source-Code packages. I prefer to get a binary Depot package of gcc 3.4.3 on hp-ux 11.00

Thanks.

Noooooooooooo! Don't recompile if you can get the right version of the shelf

From my pages:

HP-UX 11.00 for 32bit builds:
GNU gcc-3.4.3 http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/gcc-3.4.3-32-11.00-hppa2.0.tbz
perl-5.8.6 http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/perl-5.8.6-gcc-3.4.3-11.00-pa20.tbz

HP-UX 11.00 for 64bit builds:
GNU gcc-3.4.3 http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/gcc-3.4.3-64-11.00-elf64.tbz
perl-5.8.6 http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/gcc-3.4.3-64-11.00-elf64.tbz

Install instructions for both available in
gcc: http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/#Gcc
--8<---
The 3.4.3 version of gcc available in the download section includes binutils 2.15 and gdb-6.2.1. I know that by the time I uploaded the builds gdb-6.3 was already out, but I'm having trouble building recent gdb's in 64bit mode so I postpone those to later, where I either replace the current builds or include it in the next gcc builds. Install it like this:

# cd /usr/local
# bzip2 -d < /var/tmp/gcc-3.4.3-64-11.00-elf64.tbz | tar xf -

And add /usr/local/pa20_64/bin to your $PATH, preferably in /etc/PATH
-->8---

perl: http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/#Perl
--8<---
To install it, do something similar to:

# cd /opt
# bzip2 -d
And add /opt/perl64/bin to your $PATH, preferably in /etc/PATH.
-->8---

If you didn't get it (yet), you need bzip too:
http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/bzip2-1.0.2-pa2.0
