Hoi,
I am trying to install perl 5.8.5 on VMS under two arcitectures:
AXP, Itanium (IA64).
This works fine when I build them seperately with default options, that is:
@Configure "-d"
I run into problems however when I try to build for a shared root install.
If I run
@Configure.
and answer yes to the question:
Will you be sharing your PERL_ROOT with a VAX or Alpha? [n] y
and use the defaults for all other questions, the build using
MMS/macro=("IXE=1")
dies with the message:
Extracting podselect.com (with variable substitutions)
Copy/NoConfirm/Log [.pod]podselect.com [.lib.pod]
%COPY-S-COPIED,
DISK$PROSY_USER:[PROSY.FRANS.PERL-5_8_5.POD]PODSELECT.COM;1 copied
to DISK$PROSY_USER:[PROSY.FRANS.PERL-5_8_5.LIB.POD]PODSELECT.COM;3 (6
blocks)
%DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image SYS$DISK:[]MINIPERL.EXE
-CLI-E-IMAGEFNF, image file not found
$1$DGA22:[PROSY.FRANS.PERL-5_8_5]MINIPERL.EXE;
%MMS-F-ABORT, For target EXTRA.PODS, CLI returned abort status:
%X100388B2.
Which is logical since a MINIPERL.IXE was build and not a MINIPERL.EXE;
The problem is in extra_pods.com which is created by configure.com (line
6320 etc).
All other .com files get the how to invoke miniperl as a parameter, but in
this .com
it is hardcoded.
Have fun,
Frans Slothouber.
