Tim,
I've been getting lots of problems while compiling Perl 5.6.1 on HP-UX
11.0 using Gcc 3.1. I downloaded DBD:Oracle from search.cpan.org, your great
Perl Oralce driver product. And I followed every step as you described in
<http://search.cpan.org/doc/TIMB/DBD-Oracle-1.12/README.hpux> README.hpux,
but I could not make it. As we don't have Ansi C compiler installed on the
Unix server (separate product from HP), I downloaded gcc 3.1 compiler as a
substitute. However, It doesn't work at all. After finishing ./Configure
with '-lcl -lpthread' option, I got 'Bad character > (octal 76), line
643Make: . Stop.' error. Is this because I'm using gcc instead of acc? I
also can see from Appendix B(Perl Configuration Dumps) of
<http://search.cpan.org/doc/TIMB/DBD-Oracle-1.12/README.hpux> README.hpux
that all successful builds using 'cc', not 'gcc'. Do you know anybody have
ever successfully built Perl 5.6.1 on HP-UX 11.0 using gcc ?
I'll appreciate if you can give me some light-up tips on building
Perl 5.6.1 on HP-UX 11.0 or point me to some useful links.
hat off to DBD:Oracle author - Tim Bunce.
thanks
Charles
