help w/ mod_perl install on solaris 9

[ponetguy2]

Hello,

I'm trying to install mod_perl on solaris 9, but I get an error. It seems to complain about my c compiler, but I may be wrong. If it is, I already defined the path to my c complier, which is gcc. Please advise.

#cd /usr/src/mod_perl-1.29

#perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.36/src APACHE_PREFIX=/home/httpd DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 EVERYTHING=1


Here is the error output from the install:

======== Error Output for sanity check ========
cd ..; cc -DSOLARIS2=290 -DMOD_PERL -DUSE_PERL_SSI -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DNO_DL_NEEDED

Thank you in advance.

Try compiling with GCC.

setenv CC gcc

thank you m.brooks. despite of mod_perl assuring that gcc should work with mod_perl, it does not seem to like gcc. i specified gcc and it still fails with thesame error.

i am in the process of installing studio11 from solaris. i hope this works. i'll keep this thread updated with my progress.

That doesn't surprise me that mod_perl would fail a compilation with gcc because perl will fail compilation with gcc too, from what I remember.

Sun Studio 11 will also give you faster binaries. You can google for results of gcc vs. SS11. I have also had problems compiling some IO benchmarking tools that just plain would not compile with gcc, but compiled perfectly with SS11.

The path for the SS11 cc will be /opt/SUNWspro/bin.

kHz is absolutely on the money on this one. i installed studio11 and all is well. i just had to specify the path: /opt/SUNWspro/bin

thank you kHz and mbrooks. i appreciate your assitance
