Watson Research Center Lines: 19 Nntp-Posting-Host: irt I've found the secret to building Perl 4.003 on RS/6000 AIX 3.1: use bsdcc as the compiler instead of cc. You can even specify -O (it passes all regression tests.). However, there is one remaining strangeness: If I answer 'y' to the questions "Run make depend now?" in Configure, various errors are detected: all the files that include perly.h cause the compiler to complain about an empty input file. If I try to do a make anyway, the compiler spews out various wierd error messages. If I then try to run makedepend after this, the compiler then complains about perly.h not being found. I then did a make perly.h and then makedepend. All seemed to go well. Doing a make then proceeded normally. Why should running makedepend from within Configure not work properly? Does anyone have any ideas? -- Victor S. Miller Vnet and Bitnet: VICTOR at WATSON Internet: victor@watson.ibm.com IBM, TJ Watson Research Center
