I had one strange effect during configuring Perl 5.6.1 on HP-UX 11.11
using gcc-2.95.2​:

What is the type for the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th arguments to select? [int *]

Checking to see on how many bits at a time your select() operates...
In file included from try.c​:23​:
/usr/include/sys/socket.h​:439​: parse error before `sendfile'
/usr/include/sys/socket.h​:439​: parse error before `bsize_t'
/usr/include/sys/socket.h​:440​: warning​: data definition has no type or storage \
class
/usr/include/sys/socket.h​:441​: parse error before `sendpath'
/usr/include/sys/socket.h​:441​: parse error before `bsize_t'
/usr/include/sys/socket.h​:442​: warning​: data definition has no type or storage \
class
try.c​: In function `main'​:
try.c​:47​: request for member `fds_bits' in something not a structure or
union
try.c​:50​: warning​: passing arg 2 of `select' from incompatible pointer
type
try.c​:51​: request for member `fds_bits' in something not a structure or
union
What is the minimum number of bits your select() operates on? [1]

The line with the first error (/usr/include/sys/socket.h, line 439)
reads like this​:
  extern sbsize_t sendfile __((int, int, off_t, bsize_t,
  const struct iovec *, int));

The Configure seemed to finish OK. However make failed​:

rkdvmhp3​:windl(23) % gmake
`sh cflags libperl.a miniperlmain.o` miniperlmain.c
  CCCMD = gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -D_HPUX_SOURCE -L/lib/pa1.1 -

/usr/include/sys/types.h reads (partially)​:
# ifndef _BSIZE_T
# define _BSIZE_T
# if defined(_APP32_64BIT_OFF_T) || defined(_KERNEL)
  typedef int64_t sbsize_t; /* signed length in bytes */
  typedef uint64_t bsize_t; /* unsigned length in bytes */
# else
  typedef long sbsize_t;
  typedef unsigned long bsize_t;
# endif
# endif /* _BSIZE_T */

The kernel is running with 64bit (if it matters). The full log is
available on demand...

Ulrich

Do you now still want my port?

No, thanks. I have several machines that need equal software
configurations. I'm trying to make a software package from the built
libnet.

Can I close this bug report?

From my standpont​: Yes, but probably be aware that others may report
the very same problem, so finding the cause of the problem would still
be good.

Perl is now configuring cleanly on HP-UX since before 5.8.6.

@smpeters - Status changed from 'open' to 'resolved'
