Perl make fails in function "Perl_amagic_call" from gv.c hpux 11.

Hello!

You know you can download the compiled version from software.hp.com

If you have ANSI-C compiler like gcc installed on your system, be sure it is found in your path *before* that wrong one(HP's cc which is NON_ANSI).
I'm suspecting however that you are using gcc64, which you should specify explicitely.

Try this :
Make sure gcc's path comes before /usr/ccs/bin in your PATH variable.

Why not just get my precompiled perl-5.8.0 bundle from http://www.cmve.net/~merijn or https://www.beepz.com/personal/merijn ?

sadist i suppose, If I admit defeat I'll try yours procura, i got this to work yesterday after some fussing and can't remember how I got past it. Im using gcc installed in /usr/local/bin and it is prepended in my path.

[H.Merijn Brand (procura · Accepted solution]

Masochist I presume :)

Try using the perl sources from http://www.iki.fi/jhi/perl@19733.tgz which is the latest 5.8.x snapshot. It *should* build out of the box using gcc. All README's are probably pretty up to date.

does that link still work for you? I've been on vacation and just tried it with no luck.

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

Probably not. Jarkko is pretty active lately :)))

Latest 5.8.1 snap now available as

http://www.iki.fi/jhi/perl@19829.tgz
http://www.iki.fi/jhi/perl@19829.tbz

I have *no* idea how long links are valid

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn

I have the same problem. If I use precompiled Perl from Procura 5.8.3 with DBI (https://www.beepz.com/personal/merijn/) and try to compile mod_perl, make ands with this error:
# perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/opt/hpws/apache/bin/apxs

!!! Failed requirements:
!!! - Perl built with ithreads (build perl with -Dusethreads)

hence I cannot use Procuras precompiled Perl and must build own with "-Dusethreads" parametr.

But when I run Perl`s make the error occurs:

make
`sh cflags "optimize=''" miniperlmain.o` -fpic miniperlmain.c
CCCMD = gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -Wall
`sh cflags "optimize=''" perl.o` -fpic perl.c
CCCMD = gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -Wall
`sh cflags "optimize=''" gv.o` -fpic gv.c
CCCMD = gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -Wall
gv.c: In function `Perl_amagic_call':

gv.c:1712: error: for each function it appears in.)
gv.c:1712: error: parse error before "_amg"
*** Error exit code 1

My system is HP11.11, gcc 3.3.2

Can someone help me? Thanks.

My source of info tells me


"ithreads are only necessary for mp2 with threaded mpm
and threaded mpm are only useful on windows (mostly)
he's using an apache 2 with threaded MPMs instead of prefork MPMs, the default on UNix.(probably)
(I don't use mp2 myself)
give more info about how he configures his apache and why he configures it that way
"

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

My source also points me/you to http://perl.apache.org/
I trust my source as he trusts me :)

I've never used either mod_perl, nor did I use threaded perl for anything but testing if it compiles and runs the test suite, which it does over here

I used mod perl from this link:
http://perl.apache.org/dist/mod_perl-2.0-current.tar.gz

and when I tried to compile them, the output was:

# perl Makefile.PL MP_APXS=/opt/hpws/apache/bin/apxs

MP_APXS = /opt/hpws/apache/bin/apxs
