Hi, I started trying to build the dbi module with HP's perl 5.8.6 binary for itanium on OpenVMS V8.2-1 (see previosu email) but now realise I have more fundamental problems. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it. Perhaps some of what is below might give an indication as to what is wrong (I can enlarge on any of it but will try and keep it concise for now).
perl 5.8.6 from HP's binary install installed ok followed instructions on their site to set perl_root, perlshr etc. Attemtping to build any module (but makemaker in this case) gives files in the future messages like this: $ mms all %MMS-W-GMFUTURE, Time for PM_TO_BLIB.TS is in the future: 3-AUG-2006 18:59:24.00 MCR annar$dka0:[sys0.syscommon.perl5_8_6]perl.exe "-MExtUtils::Command" -e cp [.bin]instmodsh [.blib.script]instmodsh MCR annar$dka0:[sys0.syscommon.perl5_8_6]perl.exe "-I[.lib]" "-MExtUtils::MY" -e "MY->fixin(shift)" [.blib.script]instmodsh $ show time 3-AUG-2006 18:17:37 $ mms all then gives loads of these messages about files in the future and $ mms test for makemaker fails loads of tests. e.g. t/basic................. %MMS-F-ABORT, For target SUBDIRS, CLI returned abort status: %X10EE8180. # Failed test (t/basic.t at line 114) # 'cp [.lib.big]dummy.pm [.blib.lib.big]dummy.pm # Set Default [.liar] # MMS /Descrip= Descrip.MMS all # %MMS-W-GMFUTURE, Time for [-.BLIB.LIB.BIG].EXISTS is in the future: 3-AUG-2006 19:18:32.00 # %MMS-W-GMFUTURE, Time for [-.BLIB.ARCH].EXISTS is in the future: 3-AUG-2006 19:18:33.00 # %MMS-W-GMFUTURE, Time for [-.BLIB.BIN].EXISTS is in the future: 3-AUG-2006 19:18:37.00 # %MMS-W-GMFUTURE, Time for [-.BLIB.SCRIPT].EXISTS is in the future: 3-AUG-2006 19:18:38.00 # %MMS-W-GMFUTURE, Time for [-.BLIB.MAN1].EXISTS is in the future: 3-AUG-2006 19:18:40.00 # %MMS-W-GMFUTURE, Time for [-.BLIB.MAN3].EXISTS is in the future: 3-AUG-2006 19:18:41.00 # cp [.lib.big]liar.pm [-.blib.lib.big]liar.pm # %MMS-F-ABORT, For target SUBDIRS, CLI returned abort status: %X10EE8180. and even dies in places with access violations like: # MMS /Descrip= Descrip.MMS_old clean # MCR annar$dka0:[sys0.syscommon.perl5_8_6]perl.exe -e "chdir 'liar.dir'; system 'MMS clean' if -f 'Descrip.MMS';" # MCR annar$dka0:[sys0.syscommon.perl5_8_6]perl.exe "-MExtUtils::Command" -e rm_f *.olb core core.[0-9] [-.blib.arch.auto.Big .Liar]extralibs.all core.[0-9][0-9] Liar.bso pm_to_blib.ts core.[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9] # %SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, virtual address=0000000001010101, PC=000000007AE26F60, PS=0000001B # # Improperly handled condition, image exit forced by last chance handler. # Signal arguments: Number = 0000000000000005 # Name = 000000000000000C # 0000000000000000 # 0000000001010101 # 000000007AE26F60 # 000000000000001B # # Register dump: # R0 = 0000000000000000 R1 = 000000007B0F4000 R2 = 0000000001010101 # R3 = 000000000016829C R4 = 000000007FFCF818 R5 = 000000007FFCF8C0 # R6 = 000000007FF67F30 R7 = 0000000000000002 R8 = 000000007AE26F30 # R9 = 000000007AEF59D8 R10 = FFFFFFFF881CF9E0 R11 = 000000007B0F4000 # SP = 000000007ACFAC70 TP = 000000000011A1C8 R14 = 0000000000000000 # R15 = 000000007FFD06F0 R16 = 0000000000000000 R17 = 000000000007D270 # R18 = 0000000069622E77 R19 = 0000000000000000 R20 = 000000007AEC5708 # R21 = 000000007AEF59D0 R22 = 000000007AEC4000 R23 = 000000000005AF30 # R24 = 000000007ACFAAA0 R25 = 0000000000000002 R26 = 000000007AEC5710 # R27 = 000000007ACFAC08 R28 = 000007FDBFFBA178 R29 = 000000000000DB48 # R30 = 000000007ACFAAA8 R31 = 000000007AE268F0 PC = 000000007AE26F60 # BSP/STORE = 000007FDC0000760 / 000007FDC0000678 PSR = 0000101308026030 # IIPA = 000000007AE26F50 # B0 = FFFFFFFF80377F90 B6 = FFFFFFFF800022E0 B7 = FFFFFFFF800E7B50 # # Interrupted Frame RSE Backing Store, Size = 2 registers # # R32 = 000000007ACFB5B8 R33 = 000000007ACFAD60 Is this a total lost cause?
