I'm trying to compile PERL patchlevel 3 (version 4.0) on a Microport System V Rel 4 (version 2.0) with GCC v1.39. The problem might be apparent from the ld errors it gets...I don't have exact text but: ld: perly.o: warning: Symbol: `cshname` has different size in file array.o ld: perly.o: warning: incompatible types for symbol `cshname` also in file array.o It does this for cshlen and statstab also...and it also complains about 'dc' between /usr/ucblib/libucb.a(readdir.o) and perly.o. The end result of all this is that perl core dumps while trying to run the perl script that runs the tests (sigh). I get two styles of coredump...one is the standard Segmentation Fault..the other is a "Memory Fault(coredump)" which looks like it comes from perl(?). BTW, one other thing to note...trying to ld the 'uperl.o' fails to find the nsl library (-lnsl) while GCC finds that no problem. The nsl library is a shared library in this OS...perhaps that's why. Just another problem report.

Well...that compiler seemed mighty brain damaged. I guess if I want PERL on the machine....<grin>. I still need to find out why this happens though. -- Dave Hayes - dave@elxr.jpl.nasa.gov - ames!elroy!dxh He who has self-conceit in his head - Do not imagine that he will ever hear the truth.

NOW I do! It still coredumps on the tests (however the compiler nor the linker complain with the AT&T compiler), and interestingly enough even crashed my machine! I take it you weren't using the BSD stuff when you compiled it? -- Dave Hayes - dave@elxr.jpl.nasa.gov - ames!elroy!dxh Congresswoman: Well, Mr. Dallas... we've heard your smut masquerading as songs... and we've heard how teen prostitution pregnancy, drug use, cults, runaways, suicide and poor hygiene are sweeping this nation.

[ stuff deleted ] I am having the same problems with UHC V4 - is there a generic V4 fix ? Or has anybody got it working with V4 ? >Just another problem report.

It worked fine after that - passes all tests, etc. What I did was: 1] Unpack Perl 4.0 2] Run Config (Configure?) 3] Patch the config'd source with the 3 patches 4] Make a hints directory and move all the hints files into it. ( I just mv'd *.sh into hints then moved config.sh back out to the main directory - or something close to that - I don't have the source available to look at right now) 5] Run Config again - I think I said the previous Config wasn't made on my system 6] Make that sucka. I don't recall any great difficulty during the make. There were the normal ANSI warnings. I made it on 2 machines, one of them had trouble with the groups test There are 2 groups utilities in SVR4, AT&T and BSD. So depending on how you set up Perl and your PATH - you may have some trouble there. Richard Richard Ducoty \\\\\\\ Microport Inc.
