Please sync up with the latest version, I also added this: --8<--- =head2 Supported Compilers Currently all versions of IBM's "xlc", "xlc_r", "cc", "cc_r" or "vac" ANSI/C compiler will work for building perl if that compiler works on your system. If you plan to link perl to any module that requires thread-support, like DBD::Oracle, it is better to use the _r version of the compiler. This will not build a threaded perl, but a thread-enabled perl. See also L<Threaded perl> later on. -->8--- Which refers to this section: --8<--- =head2 Threaded Perl Threads seem to work OK, though at the moment not all tests pass when threads are used in combination with 64-bit configurations. You may get a warning when doing a threaded build: "pp_sys.c", line 4640.39: 1506-280 (W) Function argument assignment between types "unsigned char*" and "const void*" is not allowed. The exact line number may vary, but if the warning (W) comes from a line line this hent = PerlSock_gethostbyaddr(addr, (Netdb_hlen_t) addrlen, addrtype); in the "pp_ghostent" function, you may ignore it safely. The warning is caused by the reentrant variant of gethostbyaddr() having a slightly different prototype than its non-reentrant variant, but the difference is not really significant here. -->8--- Would you care to explore possibilities to make all tests pass? -- H.Merijn Brand Amsterdam Perl Mongers http://amsterdam.pm.org/ using & porting perl 5.6.2, 5.8.x, 5.10.x, 5.11.x on HP-UX 10.20, 11.00, 11.11, 11.23, and 11.31, SuSE 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3, AIX 5.2, and Cygwin. http://mirrors.develooper.com/hpux/ http://www.test-smoke.org/ http://qa.perl.org http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/Thread Previous | Thread Next
