perl module IO::Tty compilation error

[Patrice Le Guyader]

Hello,

I'm trying to compile the module IO::Tty for using Expect but I've got the following problem (see attach document).
I'm using gcc 3.3.2 and binutils 2.14. It seems not using gcc and using cc instead.

Thanks
Patrice

Hello,

You can just export this before stating #perl Makefile.PL

# export CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc (or, wherever you installed GCC)

You are using a threaded perl build: /opt/perl/lib/5.8.3/PA-RISC1.1-thread-multi/ which is for sure not one of my distributions :)

If you type

# perl -V:cc

You will see what C compiler was used to build this perl binary, and module builds will inherit the setting from the perl binary configuration

If your perl was built with cc,

# perl Makefile.PL

will (try to) use the same compiler and -flags.

You will have to hand-edit the generated Makefile to alter both, or install a (newer) perl that was built with gcc (like all my builds)

Also note that the perl you are using is a threaded build (slow) for PA-RISC-1.1. If you want a noticable speedup, and you are running on HP-UX 11.xx on PA-RISC-2.0, consider installing another perl release. Most recent stable is 5.8.8
