[comp.lang.perl] Patch 29-36, Configure -d, and libm.a

cander@unisoft.UUCP (Charles Anderson) (10/20/90)

I just applied patches 29 through 36 and ran "Configure -d", as
indicated in patch 36.  When I ran make the link failed with a series
of math functions (i.e., sqrt) undefined.  The problem is that Makefile
does not include "-lm" on the libs line anymore, despite the fact that
while running Configure libm.a was found ("Found -lm.").  Running
Configure without the "-d" flag seemed to fix the problem, as would
manually editing config.sh, Makefile.SH, or Makefile.

This was observed on a Pyramid-9820 running version 5.0b-891013,
release 0320r.
