>Description:
I have been having problems in getting perl-5.8.0 to build and run
properly. It will build but on a few of the tests in make test it
fails. It seems to be failing in an area having to do with loading
dynamic libraries.
I am sending this to see if you have any ideas on what may be
wrong. Included below is a copy of what I sent to the perl team for
reference.
I hope this is an appropriate method to obtain information
_____________________________________________________________________________
I have tried a number of tests to try and locate this problem. I
"think" I have narrowed it down to something in
gcc-3.2.1/binutils-2.13.1
Below is a summary of what I have done and some of the messages from
debug sessions.
At this point I need some ideas on how to proceed. Again, this is a
solaris 2.5.1 issue. I have the same setup for solaris 8 and
everything works fine.
P.S Details are needed. You helping a hardware engineer not a software
guru.
_____________________________________________________________________________
I build perl with Sun CC and the tests ran fine
I build perl with no shared libraries and the tests ran fine
I statically loaded the perl ByteLoader Cwd ... files and the tests passed
I then used a precompiled gcc-2.8.1 to compile it as I had originally
configured it and the tests passed. (gcc version 2.9-redhat-980810)
The as and ld seem to be version 2.13.1
So I then built gcc-3.2.1 again without anything special.
../gcc-3.2.1/configure
--prefix=/proj/wdt/gnu_sun5.1/gcc-3.2.1_test
--with-local-prefix=/proj/wdt/gnu_sun5.1/gcc-3.2.1_test
--with-gnu-ld
--with-ld=/proj/wdt/sun5.1/bin/ld
--with-gnu-nm
--with-nm=/proj/wdt/sun5.1/bin/nm
--with-gnu-as
--with-as=/proj/wdt/sun5.1/bin/as
--enable-threads=posix
--enable-shared
--disable-nls
--enable-languages=objc,c++
--disable-libgcj
Then reconfigured perl using that gcc and it fails.
I then rebuild gcc using Suns LD and AS , recompiled perl and the
tests run.
__________________________________________________________________________
I noticed these warning as I built perl.
NOTE: You are using GNU as(1). GNU as(1) might not build Perl. If you
have trouble, you can use /usr/ccs/bin/as by including -B/usr/ccs/bin/
in your /proj/wdt/gnu_sun5.1/gcc-3.2.1_test/bin/gcc command. (Note that the trailing
"/" is required.)
./Configure: Configured: not found
Found GNU ld='Configured'
NOTE: You are using GNU ld(1). GNU ld(1) might not build Perl. If you
have trouble, you can use /usr/ccs/bin/ld by including -B/usr/ccs/bin/
in your /proj/wdt/gnu_sun5.1/gcc-3.2.1_test/bin/gcc command. (Note that the trailing
"/" is required.)
I will try to use GNU ld by passing in the -Wl,-E flag, but if that
doesn't work, you should use -B/usr/ccs/bin/ instead.
Does this literally mean build perl or perhaps does it reach into
running perl?
