Time::HiRes compilation error

[Bosco Tsang]

I've tried to compiled the perl module Time::HiRes on HPUX 11.11 but encounter problem, both using cc and gcc.

When I do the perl Makefile.PL, it reports,

Configuring Time::HiRes...
Have syscall(), looking for syscall.h... NOT found.
Looking for gettimeofday()... found.
Looking for setitimer()... NOT found.
Looking for getitimer()... NOT found.
You do not have interval timers.
Looking for ualarm()... NOT found.
Looking for usleep()... NOT found.
Let's see if you have select()... found.
We can make a Time::HiRes::usleep().
Looking for nanosleep()... testing... found.
You can mix subsecond sleeps with signals, if you want to.
(It's still not portable, though.)
Looking for clock_gettime()... NOT found.
Looking for clock_getres()... NOT found.
Writing Makefile for Time::HiRes
Now you may issue 'make'. Do not forget also 'make test'.

When I run make (using cc as default),

cc -c -Ae -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O +Onolimit -DVERSION=\"1.82\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.82\" +z -I/opt/perl5/lib/5.6.1/PA-RISC1.1/CORE -DTIME_HIRES_NANOSLEEP -DATLEASTFIVEOHOHFIVE HiRes.c

Then, when I try to run it under gcc, I got,

gcc -c -Ae -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O +Onolimit -DVERSION=\"1.82\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.82\" +z -I/opt/perl5/lib/5.6.1/PA-RISC1.1/CORE -DTIME_HIRES_NANOSLEEP -DATLEASTFIVEOHOHFIVE HiRes.c

*** Error exit code 1

Stop.

Anyone got an idea? and have the solution? Or, is there any HP compiled version of this perl Module available?

Hi Bosco:

Perl's 'Time::HiRes' module is present in the 5.8x perl distributions:
