[comp.lang.perl] perl/timeval/SCO bogosity

6sigma2@polari.UUCP (Brian Matthews) (08/24/90)

I finally got around to trying to get patchlevel 28 running today.
Unfortunately, it don't work :-(.

I'm running SCO's Open DeskTop (basically System V Release 3.2).
doio.c includes the appropriate files to get struct timeval.
Configure determines it has select (correctly).  doio.c, if
we have select and we're running on an SCO unix, then includes
sys/select.h.  Unfortunately, sys/select.h also declares struct
timeval.  Fall down, go boom.

Does anyone have any clever suggestions before I figure out how
to fix this?  This didn't happen under patchlevel 18 (or was it
19?, the one before the latest batch).

Thanx,
