I am attempting to build Perl 5.12.1 on VMS V8.3 systems. I have tried both
Alpha and Integrity, and with the build disk being both ODS-5 and ODS-2. In
all cases the build aborts once it reaches the CPAN section, as follows:
Running Makefile.PL in cpan/Archive-Extract
$1$dkd0:[berryman.perl-5_12_1]miniperl.exe;1 "Makefile.PL" "INST_LIB=[--.lib]"
"INST_ARCHLIB=[--.lib]" "PERL_CORE=1"
Writing Descrip.MMS for Archive::Extract
Making all in cpan/Archive-Extract
MMK "all" /DESCRIPTION=descrip.mms /MACRO=("PERL_CORE=1")
%MMK-F-CANTUPD, cannot update target [.LIB]ARCHIVE - sources unknown
%MMK-F-CANTUPD, cannot update target [.LIB]ARCHIVE - sources unknown
Unsuccessful make(cpan/Archive-Extract): code=1024 at make_ext.pl line 449.
%NONAME-F-NOMSG, Message number 0C14805C
%MMK-F-ERRUPD, error status %X0C14805C occurred when updating target NONXSEXT
I did a standard configure using -des and there were no DECC logicals or
dangerous symbols defined at build time.
Is there anything special that needs to be done in order to build the 5.12.1
kit?
