To use # gcc-elf, for exmample, type # ./Configure -Dcc=gcc-elf # perl goes into the /usr tree. See the Filesystem Standard # available via anonymous FTP at tsx-11.mit.edu in # /pub/linux/docs/linux-standards/fsstnd. # Allow a command line override, e.g. Configure -Dprefix=/foo/bar case "$prefix" in '') prefix='/usr' ;; esac # Perl expects BSD style signal handling. # gcc-2.6.3 defines _G_HAVE_BOOL to 1, but doesn't actually supply bool. ccflags="-D__USE_BSD_SIGNAL -Dbool=char -DHAS_BOOL $ccflags" # The following functions are gcc built-ins, but the Configure tests # may fail because they don't supply proper prototypes. # This should be fixed as of 5.001f.

If you are using a version of DLD earlier than 3.2.6, or don't have it at all, you should probably upgrade. If you are forced to use 3.2.4, you should uncomment a couple of lines in hints/linux.sh and restart Configure so that shared libraries will be disallowed.

Good. else cat << 'EOM' Warning: it would appear you have a defective bash shell installed. This is likely to give you a failure of op/exec test #5 during the test phase of the build, Upgrading to a recent version (1.14.4 or later) should fix the problem. EOM fi # In addition, on some systems there is a problem with perl and NDBM, which # causes AnyDBM and NDBM_File to lock up. This is evidenced in the tests as # AnyDBM just freezing. Currently we disable NDBM for all linux systems. # If someone can suggest a more robust test, that would be appreciated. # This will generate a harmless message: # Hmm...You had some extra variables I don't know about...I'll try to keep 'em. # Propagating recommended variable d_dbm_open d_dbm_open=undef
