I'm having trouble compiling perl 4.0 on the Iris and was wondering if anyone else has run into this. After changing a couple of the settings in the config.sh file created by Configure, perl compiles without error. But when I do a "make test" the following happens: cd t && chmod +x TEST */*.t cd t && (rm -f perl; ln -s ../perl .) && ./perl TEST </dev/tty FAILED--no tests were run for some reason. *** Error code 9 (ignored) I can not figure out what the problem is, and would sure appreciate any help you could send my way.

After running Configure, edit the config.sh file and disable vfork, memcmp, and volatile, and add -D_BSD_COMPAT to the cflags define. This works for me. -- C.

BUT DON'T USE GLOBAL OPTIMIZATION. I had to use the -O1 flag instead of the default -O flag (the same as -O2) while compiling. Maybe the perl source code needs some volatile statements here and there 8) . \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \ \ \ Martin Liversage 8616 m /\ \ \ Royal Dental College Copenhagen / \_ K2 - Mountain of Fate \ \ Department of Pediatric Dentistry / \ \ and Dreams \ \ Norre Alle 20 / | | \ \ \ DK-2200 Kobenhavn N /\ | \ \ \ \ +45 31 37 17 00 - 4276 / \ ^ | \ \ \ \ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
