Hi, In attempting to build a plain 8482 kit on OS/390 I note the new warning: `sh cflags libperl.a sv.o` sv.c CCCMD = c89 -DPERL_CORE -c -DMAXSIG=38 -DOEMVS -D_OE_SOCKETS -D_XOPE WARNING CBC3068 ./sv.c:6914 Operation between types "char*" and "unsigned char. FSUM3065 The COMPILE step ended with return code 4. `sh cflags libperl.a pp.o` pp.c Then later on the build dies while trying to use configpm like so: rm -f libperl.a /bin/ar rcu libperl.a perl.o gv.o toke.o perly.o op.o regcomp.o dump.o util.o o rm -f opmini.c cp -f op.c opmini.c `sh cflags libperl.a opmini.o` -DPERL_EXTERNAL_GLOB opmini.c CCCMD = c89 -DPERL_CORE -c -DMAXSIG=38 -DOEMVS -D_OE_SOCKETS -D_XOPE rm -f opmini.c c89 -L/usr/local/lib -o miniperl \ miniperlmain.o opmini.o libperl.a -lm -lc ./miniperl -w -Ilib -MExporter -e '<?>' || make minitest make: [extra.pods] Error 1 (ignored) rm -f lib/re.pm cat ext/re/re.pm > lib/re.pm ./miniperl configpm configpm.tmp Wide character in print at configpm line 22. make: *** [lib/Config.pm] Error 255 $ If I comment out the mention of $^V in configpm (as a temporary workaround only) the next spot that kills the build is the extraction of perlbug: Extracting h2xs (with variable substitutions) ../miniperl -I../lib perlbug.PL Extracting perlbug (with variable substitutions) Wide character in print at perlbug.PL line 62. make[1]: *** [perlbug] Error 142 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pvhp/perl/8482/perl/utils' make: *** [utilities] Error 2 $ That too can be worked around by commenting out the mention of $^V. Could this be fallout from Hugo's recent sprintf work? Peter PrymmerThread Next
