Still trying to build HTML::Parser. Comparing a Unix 5.8.0 CORE/ directory with a VMS 5.8.0 CORE/ dir I've found the following .h files gone missing: dosish.h fakesdio.h fakethr.h perliol.h perlsfio.h reentr.h uconfig.h unixish.h utfebcdic.h Of those, MakeMaker on VMS expects to see perlsfio.h and fakethr.h. Normally installperl just shoves all the .h files into CORE/. VMS has special logic to install only those header files placed into a CORE/ dir during the build process. Rather than having to maintain that logic, why can't VMS just shove all the .h files into CORE/ like everyone else? The "copy some .h files into a temp CORE" logic in vms/descrip_mms.template has this comment: # CORE subset for MakeMaker, so we can build Perl without sources # Should move to VMS installperl when we get one I'm not sure what it means to build Perl without sources... but AFAIK VMS is now using installperl. Is the Big List Of .h Files To Copy To A Temp Core logic below it obsolete? -- My beverage utensil experiences a volume crisis.Thread Next
