Well everyone has said "works fine here" on whatever version of the OS you're
on, if you take the defaults. That's what I've been doing. I am running
Digital UNIX v4.0B BUT I've applied that pesky patch from Jan '98 and I'm
starting to wonder if that was smart. Anyway. The configure runs fine. The
make depend runs fine. The make runs fine until the libperl.a has been built
- then it starts the DynaLoader, which is NOT an option if you read the
README for the code, and here's where it craps out:
rm -f libperl.a
ar rcu libperl.a perl.o malloc.o gv.o toke.o perly.o op.o regcomp.o dump.o util.o mg.o hv.o av.o run.o pp_hot.o sv.o pp.o scope.o pp_ctl.o pp_sys.o doop.o doio.o regexec.o taint.o deb.o universal.o globals.o perlio.o
cc -L/usr/local/lib -o miniperl miniperlmain.o libperl.a -ldbm -ldb -lm -lndir

AutoSplitting perl library

CCCMD = cc -DPERL_CORE -c -std -D_INTRINSICS -I/usr/local/include -D__LANGUAGE_C__ -O
Making DynaLoader (static)
Writing Makefile for DynaLoader
mkdir ../../lib/auto/DynaLoader
cc -L/usr/local/lib -o perl perlmain.o lib/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a libperl.a `cat ext.libs` -ldbm -ldb -lm -lndir
ld:
Can't open: lib/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a (No such file or directory)
*** Exit 1
Stop.
And you can see that it creates the dir lib/auto/DynaLoader, but doesn't put
anything in it. I am wondering if it is because the build is being done
statically - should I get into the config.sh and make that dynamic too??
Since 100% of you have a working version please don't spend a lot of time on
this, but there's something screwed up here. Several people did suggest
sliding -O4 to -O, but that didn't have any effect. Here's the output of
myconfig:
