Hi,
I am trying to build a 64 bit Perl from source on my home directory (as
non root) on Solaris 10. I downloaded the most current stable version
of Perl 5.8.8 from CPAN. I'm using the Solaris gcc compiler in
/usr/local/bin/gcc which is version 3.4.6. I get through the Configure
step OK but fail when trying to run make. The tail of the output is
listed below. I have searched the internet for others with this problem
but have not been able to find a solution. I have read the README file
for Solaris, the INSTALL notes and have looked through the hints script.
I am not a sysadmin so my options are limited - I cannot install a
different gcc compiler or make any changes to the system directories.
My objective is to have my own version of Perl so I can add the DBI and
DBD::ORACLE modules.
I am running Configure this way. I am taking all the defaults except I
remove directory /usr/lib as mentioned in the Solaris README notes.
sh ./Configure -Dprefix=/home/fred/perl_5.8.8 -Dcc=gcc -Duse64bitall
-Aldflags="-mcpu=v9 -m64" -Alddlflags="-mcpu=v9 -m64 -G"
This is my LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/lib:/usr/ccs/lib:/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/u
sr/share/lib:$ORACLE_HOME/lib32
PATH
/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/op
enwin/bin:/etc:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/usr/ucb
This is the error from make:
CCCMD = gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -mcpu=v9 -m64 -Wa,-xarch=v9
-fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -Wdeclaration-after-statement -I/usr/ll
gcc -m64 -mcpu=v9 -m64 -L/usr/local/lib -o miniperl \

atan2 libperl.a(pp.o)
floor libperl.a(pp.o)
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to miniperl
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [miniperl] Error 1
These are some of the things I have tried so far to fix this:
1. From the INSTALL notes I found reference to the Missing Undefined
Symbols problem. So I did a make distclean and started over. When
config offered an opportunity to edit config.sh I went in and saw that
libs variable was empty. I changed it to be libs='-lsocket -lnsl -ldl
-lm -lc'. That didn't work - same make error.
2. So I tried another suggestion from the INSTALL notes and tried not
using nm extraction with the -Uusenm option for configure. I started
over again with distclean but that didn't work either.
3. So I'm really stuck - I've tried many other things - mainly playing
around with directory paths when prompted running Configure, in
config.sh, and in PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH - adding the sparv9
directories... anything I could think of - but no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have been struggling with
this problem for several days and cannot get past the make problem.
Somehow it's not finding the math library - or it's getting confused
between 32bit and 64bit libraries - but I don't know how to fix it.
