It should be very unusual to require some different helper utility like 'gmake' to build an extension to Perl when that resident 'make' can build Perl itself.

I will add it to the FAQ... -ben On Mon, Jun 02, 2003 at 07:46:54AM -0700, Hill, Ronald wrote: Hi Jean Ben, From Ben Bennet (Fri, 30 May 2003 15:24:13 -0400) OK, it looks like it is bombing because of all of the modules to install... each timezone module looks like: [snipped] This is a tough problem to solve... the easiest thing might be to try gnu make since that appears to be smart enough to handle arbitrarily long strings. The fix probably needs to occur in MakeMaker though... Might be worth dropping them an email with the example. -ben I have a similar problem with make for cygwin [snipped] The workaround I used was to type make -n make-n.sh then edit make-n.sh to replace the 32K line -e yada yada yada by calling a make-n.pl Perl script, which contains one 32K line. May be a new item in the FAQ could be sufficient... Jean Forget I was not able to get this to work with the HP make utility However, I installed gmake and it works!!!

I still think it is a MakeMaker problem, has anyone reported it to them? I plan on adding it to the FAQ until we get it resolved properly. -ben On Mon, Jun 02, 2003 at 08:24:24AM -0700, Hill, Ronald wrote: Hi John, Rather than document it, is there any way to fix the Makefile to have 32 1k lines instead of 1 32k line? I guess I was not clean as what I was refering to when I made the statement of Document it. What I should have asked is Is there a place to document the test results that I have Sorry, I should have been more clear. However, I agree the this needs to be fixed in the makefile. Having to require a specific make/gmake is really not a good plan. It should be very unusual to require some different helper utility like 'gmake' to build an extension to Perl when that resident 'make' can build Perl itself. John You are absolutely correct!!
