Message-ID: <1993Mar22.123355.26446@hippo.ru.ac.za> Organization: Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1993 12:33:55 GMT Lines: 19 Could someone explain, maybe yet again, how to compile Perl? The 4.019 does not compile, and both 4.035 and 4.036 fail to pass the tests. The doio.c file produces some nasty comments in the compilation process, like mismatched parameter types. I've set optimization to '-g', and have tried cflags -DCRIPPLED_CC as well. In running Configure I took most of the default values. My system has 50 Mb of swap space, 8 Mb RAM and patches up to 110 applied. Specifically, test op/dbm.t fails test 2 and 9 (looks like 'stat' does not work). Test lib/big.t fails on 73, 78, 79, 83, 84 and quite a few more. -- Mike Lawrie <ccml@hippo.ru.ac.za> Director, Computing Services ph +27 461 22023 x 279 Rhodes University, Drostdy Rd fx +27 461 25049 Grahamstown 6140, South Africa
