[comp.lang.perl] Perl3.0@44

rmccask@seas.gwu.edu (Randy McCaskill) (01/13/91)

I am having problems compiling Perl@44 under pre-7.0 HP-UX.  The
problems is a branch out of range.  I have the error message below.
There was a patch a while back ago that fixed it, but it seems I
accidentally deleted it since the last time I compiled perl.  Could
someone please send me the patch or tell me how to fix it.  Any help
would be appreciated.

Thanks,
-Randy

From memory:

Pull cerror.o and syscall.o out of /lib/libc.a and mention them
explicitly on the ld line, just before the libraries (maybe better to
put them at the head of LIBS?).
