[grand-rapids-pm-list] Perl 5.005_03 64-bit Compile

[Al Tobey]

Hey Scot,

You need a few changes to your method of compiling to get this to work.
We're actually about halfway done with an upgrade to a 64 bit perl 5.8.6
here, so I've already seen a lot of this stuff.   perl5.005_03 is very
old and will require some more effort to get it to compile 64 bit.
Perl's build system has improved quite a bit over the last six years.
You can also try perl 5.005_04 which is a minimal maintenance release
that fixes a few security and build bugs in '03.  
http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/maint/perl5.005_04.tar.gz

Try this with perl5.005_04.  I tested it on HP-UX 11.11 and it built and
passed a good portion of "make test".   If you use GDBM_File, DB_File,
or NDBM_File, you will have to build 64-bit versions of BerkeleyDB and
gdbm (I had to do this for 5.8.6).   NDBM_File can link against gdbm on
most platforms.   What I do for perl is configure them to install
in /opt/perl-$VERSION/local then instruct the compiler and linker to
look there (change -Dldflags to include -L/opt/perl-$VERSION/local/lib
and ccflags to do -I/opt/perl-$VERSION/local/include).

./Configure -der \
        -Dprefix=/opt/perl5.005_04-64 \
	-Dinstallprefix=/opt/perl5.005_04-64 \
	-Duselargefiles \
	-Dcf_by="Scot Sroka" \
	-Ui_gdbm -Ui_ndbm -Ui_db \
	-Uusemallocwrap \
	-Dccflags="+DD64 -Aa -D_HPUX_SOURCE -I/usr/local/include" \
	-Dldflags="-L/lib/pa20_64 +DD64 -L/usr/local/lib" \
	-Dlibs="-lpthread -lcl -lnsl -lnm -ldld -lm -lc"

I had to edit the Makefile and remove the ODBM_File part:
dynamic_ext =   lib/auto/B/B.sl lib/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.sl lib/auto/Fcntl/Fcntl.sl lib
/auto/IO/IO.sl lib/auto/IPC/SysV/SysV.sl lib/auto/ODBM_File/ODBM_File.sl lib/auto/Opcode/O
pcode.sl lib/auto/POSIX/POSIX.sl lib/auto/SDBM_File/SDBM_File.sl lib/auto/Socket/Socket.sl
 lib/auto/attrs/attrs.sl lib/auto/re/re.sl

dynamic_ext =   lib/auto/B/B.sl lib/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.sl lib/auto/Fcntl/Fcntl.sl lib
/auto/IO/IO.sl lib/auto/IPC/SysV/SysV.sl lib/auto/Opcode/Opcode.sl lib/auto/POSIX/POSIX.sl
 lib/auto/SDBM_File/SDBM_File.sl lib/auto/Socket/Socket.sl lib/auto/attrs/attrs.sl lib/aut
o/re/re.sl

Good luck,
-Al Tobey
