Trying to compile today's parrot on an up-to-date version
of OpenSolaris:
SunOS xxx 5.11 snv_98 i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris
it failed (after a while) with the following error:
perl tools/build/pmc2c.pl --vtable
Storable version 2.13 required--this is only version 2.12 at
/export/home/doughera/src/parrot/parrot-cc/tools/build/../../lib/Parrot/Pmc2c/Pmc2cMain.pm
line 6.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/export/home/doughera/src/parrot/parrot-cc/tools/build/../../lib/Parrot/Pmc2c/Pmc2cMain.pm
line 6.
Compilation failed in require at tools/build/pmc2c.pl line 10.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at tools/build/pmc2c.pl line 10.
make: *** [vtable.dump] Error 2
The problem is that OpenSolaris ships with (a patched version of)
perl-5.8.4. I'm not sure why OpenSolaris is still shipping perl-5.8.4,
but they are.
I haven't looked at tools/build/pmc2c.pl at all to see why Storable 2.13
is required, nor at how large of a burden it would be to relax that
requirement. Such digging would take more time than I have available
at the moment.
