You can also enable various build flags. These are explained in the makefiles. +Note that it is generally not a good idea to try to build a perl with +INST_DRV and INST_TOP set to a path that already exists from a previous +build. In particular, this may cause problems with the +lib/ExtUtils/t/Embed.t test, which attempts to build a test program and +may end up building against the installed perl's lib/CORE directory rather +than the one being tested. + You will have to make sure that CCTYPE is set correctly and that CCHOME points to wherever you installed your compiler. |
