Perl 5.8.8 make errors.

[Patrick Ware_1]

I am attmpting to compile perl 5.8.8 on an Itanium 11.23 system. I did the configure, and went to do the make, and here is what the make errors out on below. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

This seems bogus. _memcpy and strcmp are in libc.so.1.

Where are the other symbols defined? You can search with:
$ nm -pxAN *.o *.a *.so | fgrep -e Perl_newSViv

What compiler did you use?

What arguments did you pass to Configure?

/3gl/CPAN/perl-current 102 > grep -i -e cc.*version -e ccflags -e ld.*fla
gs -e config_ config.sh
ccflags='-D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L -D_REENTRANT -milp32 -DPERL_DONT_CREATE_GVSV -D_HPUX_SOURCE -DDEBUGGING -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/pro/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64'

Somehow I fear a C++ compiler. I don't know why :)

I installed the ANSIC compiler, but I don't think the "make" command is sourcing it.

root@server:/root> which make
/usr/bin/make
root@server:/root> ll /usr/bin/make
lr-xr-xr-t 1 root sys 17 Sep 20 10:49 /usr/bin/make -> /usr/ccs/bin/make

What should I be sourcing? This?:

/opt/ansic/bin/cc

HP C-ANSI-C is good!
HP's make is not, but you should be able to use it.

'make' is not the compiler, it is just a `tool' to build something based on a set of rules as described in a Makefile.
The Makefile for perl is generated by Makefile.SH which is controlled by Configure.

So, can you issue the command I used, and show me the output?

BTW any reason you want to build perl yourself instead of using one of the many good prebuilt binaries?

I am wanting to install Perl DBI DBD for Oracle, and DBD for mysql. If you have a better way, than by all means, feel free to share. :)

[Tim Nelson]

This is just a curiosity...

Why don't you just use the perl 5.8.8 delivered already compiled by HP ? (software.hp.com)
Save your time to work out the issues with compiling the DBI modules ?

[Patrick Ware_1]

It's been so long since I've had to install this, that I am a little out of touch. If it has all that included, then that is what I will do. Where is it at?

[H.Merijn Brand (procura]

It should be on your Application CD/DVD's, but you can also get it for free on the official HP website:

http://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=PERL

I think it already includes DBI

if you get a depot, make sure it is not compressed anymore, put it in e.g. /tmp, and issue

# swinstall -s /tmp/pelr0name-you-got.sd
