5.8.2 on itanium

Someone is trying to build perl-5.8.2 on HP-UX 11.23 (itanium) and is
facing problems. I don't have access to Itanium architecture machines

I tried to compile perl 5.8.1 and 5.8.2 on hp-ux 11.23 with gcc 3.3.1/2.

rm -f config.sh Policy.sh
sh Configure -de -O \
-Dcc=gcc \
-Duselargefiles \
-Dprefix='/opt/mfgperl' \
-Dstartperl='#!/opt/mfgperl/bin/perl' \
-Dperlpath='/opt/mfgperl/bin/perl' \
-Doptimize='-O3' \
-Dloclibpth="/opt/mfgdep/lib/hpux32 /usr/lib/hpux32" \
-Dlocincpth="/opt/mfgdep/include " \
-Dinstallusrbinperl='n' \
-Duseithreads='y' \
-Dusethreads \
-Duseperlio='y' \
-Duseshrplib='y' \
-A prepend:libswanted='cl pthread ' | tee ../mfgperl.configure

which reults in:

[...]
cp op.c opmini.c
`sh cflags "optimize='-O3'" opmini.o` -fPIC -DPERL_EXTERNAL_GLOB opmini.c
CCCMD = gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L -D_REENTRANT -D_HPUX_SOURCE -fno-strict-aliasing -I/opt/mfgd
ep/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O3 -Wall
rm -f opmini.c
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/src/perl-5.8.2 gcc -L/opt/mfgdep/lib/hpux32 -L/usr/lib/hpux32 -o miniperl \
miniperlmain.o opmini.o -L /usr/local/src/perl-5.8.2 -Wl,+s -Wl,+b/opt/mfgperl/lib/5.8.2/IA64.ARCHREV_0-thread-multi/COR

gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/perl-5.8.2'

Lowering the optimization level does not have any effect.

Compilation with HP's ansic works. Gcc successfully compiles perl 5.8.0 as well. Did anyone have more success with newer versions?


Kind regards,

Lars

1. useperlio, and uselargefiles are default, so you don't have to pass those
2. do you *need* a threaded build? If not, please could you test without it?

Enjoy, have FUN! H.Merijn [ who does not have access to itanium ]

About H.Merijn's suggestion:

Omitting the -Duseithreads='y' \
-Dusethreads \
flags does not change anything. Any more ideas?
