[perl #20881] Make problem

Hi,
I need your help if possible.

I just downloaded perl 5.6.1

I ran the Configure

Then, when I did run the make command I am getting this

make: *** No rule to make target `<built-in>', needed by `miniperlmain.o'.
Stop.

Do you know what am I missing??

The fix is simply to delete all the lines in 'makefile' that contain
the string '<built-in>'.

This is also fixed in perl-5.8.0, which you might consider using instead.

Nothing, really. It's a change in gcc-3's output that appeared after
5.6.1 was released.

I do have a quick question though,
Our developers are the one requiring to run 5.6.1 and we do have 5.8.0 as
well
Here is the directory structure
/apps/perl/5.6.1 & /apps/perl/5.8.0

The question I have is,
I am trying to get about 40 CPANs installed on both versions.
Can I use the same ones from one of the versions and copy it over to the
other version or do I have to do it twice??

Please get back to me on this, and again thank you so much for your help.

Ran the make command and I got the following

make: *** No rule to make target `<command', needed by `miniperlmain.o'.
Stop.

Does that mean I need to delete the <command line> as well??

I deleted both <build in> and <command line> from the makefile
Ran the make command again,
Things seemed to be working until the end of it, and here is a portion of
the output and please take a close look at the last 4 lines.

Any Suggestions??

Please let me know,

Thanks,

Yep. Safe to remove them.

The easiest (but not the fastest) solution is to change makedepend.SH
find the line to the sed command that deletes the '<builtin>' lines from
Makefiles, and change that to '<.*>'. In 5.8.0 that would look somewhat like

$sed \
-e '1d' \
-e '/^#.*<stdin>/d' \
-e '/^#.*<builtin>/d' \
-e '/^#.*<built-in>/d' \
-e '/^#.*<command line>/d' \
-e '/^#.*"-"/d' \

Or, if you do it the .* way

$sed \
-e '1d' \
-e '/^#.*<stdin>/d' \
-e '/^#.*<.*>/d' \
-e '/^#.*"-"/d' \

and then restart all over.

# make distclean
# Configure .....

You mean about 40 additional modules downloaded from CPAN?

It's safest to build them once for your perl 5.6.1

perl5.6.1 Makefile.PL
make all
make test
make install

and then again for perl 5.8.0

perl5.8.0 Makefile.PL
make all
make test
make install

(where you replace perl5.6.1 and perl5.8.0 with your names for your two
perl binaries)

Or if you prefer, perl5.6.1 -MCPAN -e shell and perl5.8.0 -MCPAN -e shell

I am still having the problem though, and I hope you will continue helping
me until I get it resolved.

After I received your email here is what I have done.

#1. Ran the make distclean
#2. Ran the sh Configure (to rebuild everything again)
#3. Edited the makedepend.SH looking for anything on the <build in> and I
did not find anything
#4. So I edited the makefile itself
deleted all the lines that has to do with the <command line> one
Changed the <built-in> to <.*> as you recommended
#5. Ran the make command

I got this error

make: *** No rule to make target `<.*>', needed by `miniperlmain.o'. Stop.

So Are you trying to tell me that instead of doing these steps I just
mentioned above to do the following

#1. Edit the makedepend.SH file
At the end of the file change add the following

Save the file

#2. ran the make distclean and the Configure again
#3. edit the makefile and change the <built in> to <.*>
#4. Run the make comamnd?????

If that is the case, what shall I do with the <command line> ??

Swap point 2 and 3

Please take a look at the steps below

Don't care. It's duplicate at the moment, just leave it in or out, whatever
you prefer, cannot harm.

Looks OK

Follow this steps and you should be OK:

1. unpack the 5.6.1 distribution
2. cd to the perl5.6.1 directory
3. $ cp makedepend.SH makedepend.SH.orig
4. $ sed 's/<stdin>/<.*>/' makedepend.SH.orig > makedepend.SH
5. $ ./Configure
6. $ make test

(the '$' is the shell prompt)
