On the page https://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html it says:
Perl version between 5.6.1 and 5.6.24 Necessary when targeting Darwin, building ‘libstdc++’, and not using --disable-symvers. Necessary when targeting Solaris 2 with Solaris ld and not using --disable-symvers. Necessary when regenerating Makefile dependencies in libiberty. Necessary when regenerating libiberty/functions.texi. Necessary when generating manpages from Texinfo manuals. Used by various scripts to generate some files included in the source repository (mainly Unicode-related and rarely changing) from source tables. Used by automake. My impression is that Perl 5.6.x is long obsolete (5.6.0 was released in March 2000), and the available 5.6.x versions were 5.6.0, 5.6.1 and 5.6.2 (never 5.6.24). Much later versions of Perl (5.32.0 is current) will work fine. Should the range of usable versions be updated? Should it list 5.6.1 to 5.32.0? Or should it list some slightly later version such as 5.10.1 as the lowest supported version? -- Jonathan Leffler <jonathan.leff...@gmail.com> #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix - v2018.1031 - http://dbi.perl.org "Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves, for we shall never cease to be amused."
