More evidence of problems with MMS building Perl, where MMK works. Building 5.10.0 with HP C V7.2-022 on OpenVMS IA64 V8.3 on ODS5 disk with hardlinks enabled In order to build perl5 you must now issue the command: MMS $ MMS Copy/NoConfirm/Log [.VMS]SOCKADAPT.H [] %COPY-S-COPIED, DKB200:[norton.testperl-5_10_0.vms]sockadapt.h;1 copied to DKB200:[norton.testperl-5_10_0]sockadapt.h;1 (10 blocks) Copy/Log/NoConfirm [.vms]vmsish.h [] %COPY-S-COPIED, DKB200:[norton.testperl-5_10_0.vms]vmsish.h;1 copied to DKB200:[norton.testperl-5_10_0]vmsish.h;1 (74 blocks) CC/DECC/NOANSI_ALIAS /Include=[]/Standard=Relaxed_ANSI/Prefix=All/ Obj=.obj/NoList/float=ieee/ieee=denorm/Define=(PERL_CORE,_USE_STD_ STAT=1) MINIPERLMAIN.C Copy/NoConfirm/Log [.VMS]SOCKADAPT.C [] %COPY-S-COPIED, DKB200:[norton.testperl-5_10_0.vms]sockadapt.c;1 copied to DKB200:[norton.testperl-5_10_0]sockadapt.c;1 (10 blocks) CC/DECC/NOANSI_ALIAS /Include=[]/Standard=Relaxed_ANSI/Prefix=All/ Obj=.obj/NoList/float=ieee/ieee=denorm/Define=(PERL_CORE,_USE_STD_ STAT=1) SOCKADAPT.C CC/DECC/NOANSI_ALIAS /Include=[]/Standard=Relaxed_ANSI/Prefix=All/ Obj=.obj/NoList/float=ieee/ieee=denorm/Define=(PERL_CORE,_USE_STD_ STAT=1) AV.C CC/DECC/NOANSI_ALIAS /Include=[]/Standard=Relaxed_ANSI/Prefix=All/ Obj=.obj/NoList/float=ieee/ieee=denorm/Define=(PERL_CORE,_USE_STD_ STAT=1) DEB.C CC/DECC/NOANSI_ALIAS /Include=[]/Standard=Relaxed_ANSI/Prefix=All/ Obj=.obj/NoList/float=ieee/ieee=denorm/Define=(PERL_CORE,_USE_STD_ STAT=1) DOIO.C CC/DECC/NOANSI_ALIAS /Include=[]/Standard=Relaxed_ANSI/Prefix=All/ Obj=.obj/NoList/float=ieee/ieee=denorm/Define=(PERL_CORE,_USE_STD_ STAT=1) DOOP.C CC/DECC/NOANSI_ALIAS /Include=[]/Standard=Relaxed_ANSI/Prefix=All/ Obj=.obj/NoList/float=ieee/ieee=denorm/Define=(PERL_CORE,_USE_STD_ STAT=1) DUMP.C CC/DECC/NOANSI_ALIAS /Include=[]/Standard=Relaxed_ANSI/Prefix=All/ Obj=.obj/NoList/float=ieee/ieee=denorm/Define=(PERL_CORE,_USE_STD_ STAT=1) MRO.C %MMS-F-GWKNOPRN, There are no known sources for the current target GENERATE_UUDMAP.OBJ Logout and login again, retry MMS -- same problem: $ MMS %MMS-F-GWKNOPRN, There are no known sources for the current target GENERATE_UUDMAP.OBJ Try MMK instead, and it builds successfully: $ mmk CC/DECC/NOANSI_ALIAS /Include=[]/Standard=Relaxed_ANSI/Prefix=All/ Obj=.obj/NoList/float=ieee/ieee=denorm/Define=_USE_STD_STAT=1 GENE RATE_UUDMAP.C Link /NoTrace/NoMap/NoDebug/Trace/NoMap/NoFull/NoCross/ Exe=GENERATE_UUDMAP.EXE generate_uudmap.obj ,[]crtl.opt/Options DEFINE/USER_MODE SYS$OUTPUT uudmap.h MCR SYS$DISK:[]generate_uudmap.exe CC/DECC/NOANSI_ALIAS /Include=[]/Standard=Relaxed_ANSI/Prefix=All/ Obj=.obj/NoList/float=ieee/ieee=denorm/Define=(PERL_CORE,_USE_STD_ STAT=1) GLOBALS.C CC/DECC/NOANSI_ALIAS /Include=[]/Standard=Relaxed_ANSI/Prefix=All/ Obj=.obj/NoList/float=ieee/ieee=denorm/Define=(PERL_CORE,_USE_STD_ STAT=1) GV.C <snip>
