As of current CVS, PL/Perl doesn't seem to compile against Perl 5.8. I
get the following compile error:
gcc -O2 -g -fpic -I. -I/usr/lib/perl/5.8.0/CORE -I../../../src/include -c -o
plperl.o plperl.c -MMD
In file included from /usr/lib/perl/5.8.0/CORE/op.h:480,
from /usr/lib/perl/5.8.0/CORE/perl.h:2209,
from plperl.c:61:
/usr/lib/perl/5.8.0/CORE/reentr.h:602: field `_crypt_struct' has incomplete type
/usr/lib/perl/5.8.0/CORE/reentr.h:747: confused by earlier errors, bailing out
make[3]: *** [plperl.o] Error 1
This is running GCC 3.2 and Perl 5.8.0 on Debian unstable.
There's a thread about a similar topic on p5p:
http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg75480.html
The thread suggests a trivial fix: adding -D_GNU_SOURCE to the CFLAGS
for the affected files. I checked, and this gets PL/Perl to compile
correctly. That doesn't seem like the right fix, though. Does anyone
have any comments on how to fix this properly?
Regardless of the solution we choose, I think this needs to be fixed
before 7.3 is released.
Cheers,
Neil
