Perl Configure Errors #1040
Comments
From r.phillips@mailbox.uq.edu.auI've a couple of trivial bugs to point out to you and a couple of questions I'm installing perl 5.005_03 on an Alpha 3000/400 which is running I've noticed a couple of typos in the prompts that Configure prints: On some systems, shared libraries may be available. Answer 'none' if What is the file extension used for shared libraries? [so] The word 'remaining' should be 'remainder' 2) In the prompt that says: Some systems may require passing special flags to cc to indicate that Any special flags to pass to cc to use dynamic loading? [-Wl,-E The question should be 'Any special flags ... dynamic linking?' instead of 3) In the prompt that says: I need to get your e-mail address in Internet format if possible, i.e. The word 'the' should be deleted from 'is most probably close to the reality' That's the end of the typos, now for the questions. These two errors were thrown up at me during configuration: setrgid() found. *** WHOA THERE!!! *** setruid() found. *** WHOA THERE!!! *** I found this comment in the combined man page for setrgid and setruid: The use of these calls is not portable. Their use is discouraged; they So I assume it was all right for me to answer 'y' to both of these questions? There's a question about vfork() in the configuration process: Perl can only use a vfork() that doesn't suffer from strict Do you still want to use vfork()? [n] NetBSD has a vfork() system call, but how do I tell if my vfork() is good Ray Phillips |
