[Speedycgi-users] Compilation problems...

[Haviland, M. <mar...@nw...>]

Hi all,
=20
I'm trying to compile PersistentPerl-2.21 (aka speedyCGI) on AIX 4.3 =
(using the native compiler) but seem to be having some problems and am =
wondering if anyone has successfully compiled under AIX...or could help =
me out.

Here's what's happening:
=20
When I do the standard 'perl Makefile.PL; make'
=20
I get the following link error:
=20
../util/remove_libs ld -o perperl perperl_main.o perperl_cb.o =
perperl_circ.o perperl_util.o perperl_sig.o perperl_frontend.o =
perperl_backend.o perperl_file.o perperl_slot.o perperl_poll.o =
perperl_ipc.o perperl_group.o perperl_script.o perperl_opt.o =
perperl_optdefs.o    =

-L/usr/local/lib/perl56/5.6.1/aix-ld/CORE -lperl -lbind -lnsl -ldl -lld =
-lm -lC -lc -lcrypt -lbsd -lPW -liconv
ld: 0711-327 WARNING: Entry point not found: __start

However if I edit the perperl/Makefile and add '-bnoentry' to the =
following line:
=20
../util/remove_libs $(LD) -o perperl $(OBJECT)    =
-bE:/usr/local/lib/perl56/5.6.1/aix-ld/CORE/perl.exp  -L/usr/local/lib =
-b32 /usr/local/lib/perl56/5.6.1/aix-ld/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a =

-lm -lC -lc -lcrypt -lbsd -lPW -liconv -bnoentry

I no longer get the link warning, but when I try to run the 'make test' =
I get this:
=20

Are there some symbols that still need to be retained (ie. via a -u =
flag) ?

Any ideas ?
