[Persistentperl-users] Build problem on Sharp Zaurus

[Tony G. <to...@be...>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to build Persistent Perl on my Sharp Zaurus handheld (very much =
a=20
cut-down Linux) and I'm hitting a problem that I'm hoping someone here migh=
t=20
be able to help me with.

When I run perl Makefile.PL, I get the following warnings:
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lnsl
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -ldl
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lm
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lc
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lcrypt
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lutil

However, this evidently isn't harmless, as when I run "make", it fails with:

The fact that it's ld that's complaining at the end makes me suspect that t=
he=20
"probably harmless" diagnosis is possibly wrong and I may need to install=20
some more libraries in order to get this to build. Unfortunately, having=20
trawled through the sources, I've failed to pick out what should be=20
happening.

If anybody can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Apart fr=
om=20
the fact that Persistent Perl will make the personal project I'm working on=
=20
more efficient on a slow machine, I'd like to make it available for anybody=
=20
else developing on the Zaurus, as I'm sure it will be useful elsewhere.

Thanks in advance.
