Re: [Expectperl-discuss] re: building Expect.pm on solaris 9

Austin:

thank you for the reply. since I wasn't able to figure out
how to  make it work under perl 5.8.4. I'm now trying to
use SUN's version of perl 5.005_03 came with solaris 9. 

solaris 9, perl 5.005_03 ,and IO-Tty-1.02 from sourceforge.

however, make on  IO-Tty-1.02  gives

[jason@flounder IO-Tty-1.02]$ make
<snip>
cc -c   -xO3 -xdepend    -DVERSION=\"1.02\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.02\" -KPIC

-DHAVE_PTSNAME -DHAVE_SIGACTION -DHAVE_STRLCPY -DHAVE_SYS_STROPTS_H
-DHAVE_TERMIOS_H -DHAVE_TERMIO_H -DHAVE_TTYNAME -DHAVE_UNLOCKPT Tty.c
cc: unrecognized option `-KPIC'
cc: language depend not recognized
cc: Tty.c: linker input file unused because linking not done
Running Mkbootstrap for IO::Tty ()
chmod 644 Tty.bs
LD_RUN_PATH="" cc -o blib/arch/auto/IO/Tty/Tty.so  -G Tty.o
cc: Tty.o: No such file or directory
cc: no input files
make: *** [blib/arch/auto/IO/Tty/Tty.so] Error 1

I believe the sun own version of perl is compiled with sun's own c 
compiler. does that  causing this problm, any work around? 

Thanks. 
Jason 

PS: I also tried to compile perl 5.005_03 from source using gcc 3.3.2
on solaris 9.  I got an 
[jason@flounder perl5.005_03]$ make
make: *** No rule to make target `<built-in>', needed by
`miniperlmain.o'.  Stop.
