Howdy,
Firstly, thanks for trying to port Parrot to VMS! You are a brave soul :)
It would be very valuable for us to see the output of
perl -V
uname -a # or the equivalent on VMS
gcc -v # or equivalent for other compilers
Also, please let us know the exact version of Parrot that you are
using (or the SHA1 of the commit if you are using git).
I recommend first trying to build an absolutely barebone Parrot:
perl Configure.pl --without-gettext --without-gmp --without-libffi \
--without-extra-nci-thunks \
--without-opengl --without-readline \
--without-pcre --without-zlib \
--without-threads --without-icu
that way, things like ICU and friends won't give you problems.
Please also send the full output of the Configure step and all errors
that you get so we can help you debug stuff.
Good luck!
Duke
