I just built perl-5.8.3-RC1 for Linux
Linux tekcs22 2.4.21-4.ELhugemem #1 SMP Fri Oct 3 17:31:20 EDT 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
It went well except I have one area of questions. I don't use the dbm stuff
so I just want to make sure what is is doing makes sense to you.
On this version of Linux there is no -lndbm available. In the library list
presented early in the configure there was not a ndbm entry.
What libraries to use?
[-lnsl -lgdbm -ldb -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lpthread -lc]
However later in the Configure where it asks
What extensions do you wish to load dynamically?
That list has NDBM_File in it. It seems like it should not be there.
On the next question about what to load statically I answered "none" where is
presented NDBM_File as the default answer.
Then in the make test the following was shown which looks like it did fine.
ext/NDBM_File/t/ndbm.................skipping test on this platform
ext/ODBM_File/t/odbm.................skipping test on this platform
ext/SDBM_File/t/sdbm.................ok
lib/AnyDBM_File......................ok
lib/Memoize/t/tie_gdbm...............ok
lib/Memoize/t/tie_ndbm...............skipping test on this platform
lib/Memoize/t/tie_sdbm...............ok
Many of the gcc commands used -I/usr/include/gdbm which has the following
files
ll /usr/include/gdbm
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 2 root 4096 Jan 5 12:56 ./
drwxr-xr-x 114 root 8192 Jan 8 23:10 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 1563 Jan 25 2003 dbm.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 4744 Jan 25 2003 gdbm.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 2003 Jan 25 2003 ndbm.h
I am not sure why the ndbm.h or dbm.h is there and if it confuses anything.
