Uh-oh, the C compiler 'cc' doesn't seem to be working.
PPC Mac Mini, Mac OS X 10.4.8, I'm following along in README.macosx and I've done this: export SDK=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk and I call ./Configure -Accflags=-nostdinc -b$SDK/user/include/gcc -B$SDK/usr/ lib/gcc -isystem$SDK/usr/include -F$SDK/System/Library/Frameworks - Aldflags=-W1,-syslibroot,$SDK as suggested. I take defaults until it checks the compiler. Here's the what happens there: -- Use which C compiler? [cc] powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: '-b' must come at the start of the command line Uh-oh, the C compiler 'cc' doesn't seem to be working. powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1: '-b' must come at the start of the command line Uh-oh, the C compiler 'cc' doesn't seem to be working. You need to find a working C compiler. Either (purchase and) install the C compiler supplied by your OS vendor, or for a free C compiler try http://gcc.gnu.org/ I cannot continue any further, aborting. -- The README indicates that the parameters are useful for making perl aware of the SDK, as I understand it, so I'm going to try this without parameters. But I thought I'd go ahead and ask if anyone can confirm that these parameters aren't necessary if I'm not making the parallel install aware of the sdk, or if anyone can give me a hint about what I'm doing. (I've never used such parameters when compiling perl in the past, haven't done an install in a year or so.) There is a possibility I erased part of the SDK when I was intending to move an alias to XCode into the applications folder and forgot that the actual bundle moves when users that can modify the applications folder (admin users) drag and drop wtihout the option key. Also, the notes in README.macosx seem to indicate that shared libraries and threads are now functional. Anyone on the list here using them with (parallel installs of) apache 2 and mod_perl?

You asked if you *really* need to use the SDK. You need to use an SDK if you're cross-compiling, such as: a. Making a Universal Binary build of Perl, either to distribute or to use for building and distributing UB modules. b. Building Perl to run on a OS version other than the one you're building with. There is a possibility I erased part of the SDK SDKs are separate sub-packages in the Xcode package, so you can re- install them pretty easily, without installing the whole thing. sherm-- Web Hosting by West Virginians, for West Virginians: http://wv-www.net Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net

Then since this copy of perl is for apache 2, I don't need it. Thanks. There is a possibility I erased part of the SDK SDKs are separate sub-packages in the Xcode package, so you can re- install them pretty easily, without installing the whole thing. Yeah, I figured re-installing XCode should be sufficient, since the only thing that I moved (and then tried to delete because I thought it was an alias) was XCode. Building perl without the SDK options worked. But I'm still wondering whether I wanted the shared libraries and threads. In fact, looking at perl -V on the system perl and comparing it to the parallel perl, I'm thinking maybe I wanted that multiplicity thing and I probably did want the large files option and what is PERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT, and, oh, it looks like there are some advisories I need to check. Especially I'm thinking the shared libraries and threads are going to be useful with mod_perl. thanks more. sherm-- Web Hosting by West Virginians, for West Virginians: http://wv-www.net Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net

CPANPLUS?
The perldoc on CPAN suggests CPANPLUS but doesn't describe how to access it or read the documentation. I tried perldoc CPANPLUS and perldoc cpanplus and perl -MCPANPLUS - e shell, but perl says it can't find any such thing. I guess, if we want to use it we have to load it, that even though the CPAN perldoc seems to strongly urge its use, it is not yet distributed in the source of perl as CPAN is?

So I StheFriendlyW as I should have done first, and I find http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/03/26/cpanplus.html http://search.cpan.org/search?query=cpanplus and http://cpanplus.sourceforge.net/ which either auto-redirects or is aliased (don't want to take time to figure out which) to http://cpanplus.dwim.org/ where it says that cpan++ will become part of the core in perl 5.10 under a different, yet to be determined, name. So, yeah, if I decide to use it, I guess I have to either download and install it by hand or install it from CPAN :-o. (Have I asked about this before and forgotten?) I see there is a Bundle::CPANPLUS on CPAN. (Version 0.01? developer level? or just so straightforward there isn't anything to fix?) Sorry about the noise.
