Hi all, This is probably a more generic perl-on-Solaris question, but I'll try it here since after all a big part of Inline::C's job is compiling C code.
I'm trying to install Inline on one of the Solaris boxes at cf.sourceforge.net. When I try to install Digest::MD5, I run into all sorts of compiler problems. The perl that is installed there is built with 'cc'. If I put /usr/ucb/bin if my path, I can't compile anything (I get errors on almost every line). If I put /opt/SUNWspro/bin, in my path, it says it can't find the license server. If one wants to do any kind of no-cost Perl-with-C-modules development on Solaris, does one absolutely need to build a Perl with gcc (not that I mind doing that, it's just thast I'm trying to use an as out-of-the-box environment as possible)? If not, what's the best way to override the compiler settings when building modules on Solaris? Do I need to modify the Makefile.PL for each module I wan't to install?
