Re: 10.2.x, perl 5.6.1, gcc3.1? Works!

What happens if you type which gcc2 at a command prompt? The machine I was working on had a clean install of 10.2, an upgrade to 10.2.4, and the latest developer tools.

And which gcc2 informed me that I do indeed have gcc2 right where you said it should be! /usr/bin/gcc2 By the way, I think the right way to use gcc2 is to use the 'gcc_select' command. Do gcc_select -h in the shell and you can see how to use it. sudo gcc_select 2 will then switch you into 2-land. I think all it does is shuffle some symlinks around, but presumably it does it correctly. I'm not sure whether gcc2 is usable as just /usr/bin/gcc2 when gcc3 is installed. -Ken
10.2.x, perl 5.6.1, gcc3.1?
Hello! I'm trying to install perl 5.6.1 on my Mac running 10.2.x (right now it's 10.2.1, but that will change in a couple of hours, when I should be back up to 10.2.4), but there seems to be an incompatibility between perl 5.6.1 and the gcc3.1 compiler that comes with the December 2002 Developer Tools. I keep getting make: *** No rule to make target `built-in', needed by `miniperlmain.o'. Stop. I've been following the instructions posted by Ray Zimmerman http://archive.develooper.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00895.html and David Wheeler http://david.wheeler.net/osx.html with the variation to use the gcc2 compiler http://archive.develooper.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg03679.html (exact same no rule to make target error back in October 2002.) but of course that didn't work because I don't have a gcc2 compiler. I'd rather not install a gcc2 compiler because I've heard of other incompatibilities with binaries compiled under the two different compilers. Searching for perl 5.6.1 and gcc3.1 under google brought me to a posted patch for linux. http://archive.develooper.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg84893.html It appears the Ken William's fink installation includes a similar patch. http://archive.develooper.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg04611.html I'd rather compile it myself and keep it in it's own directories parallel to the 5.6.0 installation. Is there a way I can use the patch supplied with the Ken William's fink installation during my own compile? If so, where I can look to find how to do this? Or maybe there's a way to modify the fink installation to install where I'd like it to? Thanks in advance for any advice or pointers of where to look for more information.

Are you sure you don't? You should have gcc2 here: /usr/bin/gcc2 What happens if you type which gcc2 at a command prompt? The machine I was working on had a clean install of 10.2, an upgrade to 10.2.4, and the latest developer tools. (You have installed the developer tools, right?) I got 5.6.1 to install cleanly (where by cleanly, I mean with the small handful of known test failures mentioned in the above articles). As per the aforementioned message to this list from Errol Lewthwaite, all I needed to do was follow these instructions: http://duke.usask.ca/~dalglb/macosx/Perl_5.6.html *and* add -Dcc=gcc2 to the Configure switches: sudo sh Configure -des -Dfirstmakefile=GNUmakefile \ -Dldflags=-flat_namespace -Dcc=gcc2 Hope this helps. -- John Gruber | Daring Fireball: Mac Punditry and Curmudgeonry [EMAIL PROTECTED] |http://daringfireball.net
