[comp.lang.perl] PERL 3.0@37

mitch@hq.af.mil (Mitch Wright) (10/31/90)

I've been trying to get PERL to compile on a CCI Power 6.  It all compiles
without an error, but when doing the test, I get 2 errors.  Anyone have an
idea where I should look to fix these up???

   The two most common things in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity,
   but not necessarily in that order.

As the README file points out, but which isn't exactly obvious from the
error messages:

    If you get syntax errors on '(', try -DCRIPPLED_CC or -DBADSWITCH or both.

I have perl 3.0 patch level 37 running without any apparent problems on a
6/32 here.  Of course, I am now running our most recent SysV OS (3.11).

You did not say whether you were running the CCI SysV OS, and if so which
release, or the older CCI BSD OS, or pure BSD.  If you want, I could send
you my config.sh.

(CCI was bought by STC/ICL).

Neither of these flags is required on my 6/32, running CCI SysV 3.11.
We did fix quite a few optimiser bugs in the 3.00 OS release, but not
much has changed in the optimiser or code generator since then
(well ... maybe a few bug fixes at 3.11 also).  If Mitch is running
CCI BSD ... I'm not sure that is supported anymore.  If he is running
CCI SysV, then it really ought to be 3.02 or later.  If pure BSD
(4.3tahoe), then lots of other people should have the same problems, I
would have thought.
