Hi,

Wondering if anyone can help, I'm trying to install forks version 0.18
and running into problems.

perl makefile.PL works fine, but when I make I get whats attached
below, any ideas ?

For info:

Solaris 9, Perl version v5.8.7

the only thing i can think of it that I have some higher versions of
the modules required, do they have to be exactly that version, if so
where do I get them ?

"Required Modules:
Devel::Required (any)
IO::Socket (1.18)
Scalar::Util (1.01)
Storable (any)"

where as I have :

bash-2.05$ perl
use ExtUtils::Installed;
my $instmod = ExtUtils::Installed->new();
foreach my $module ($instmod->modules()) {
my $version = $instmod->version($module) || "???";
print "$module -- $version\n";
}
Carp::Clan -- 5.3
Compress::Zlib -- 1.34
Crypt::SSLeay -- 0.51
DBD::Oracle -- 1.16
DBI -- 1.48
Date::Calc -- 5.4
Devel::Required -- 0.06
Digest::MD5 -- 2.33
GD -- 2.28
GD::Graph -- 1.43
GD::Text -- 0.86
HTML::Parser -- 3.45
HTML::Tagset -- 3.04
IO -- 1.22
List::Util -- 1.17
MIME::Base64 -- 3.05
Perl -- 5.8.7
Storable -- 2.15
Tie::IxHash -- 1.21
URI -- 1.35
libwww-perl -- ???


Cheers

Andy

Higher versions should be fine. (Older versions of modules can be found on
backpan.)

.
.

In forks.xs, find the function 'cond_timedwait'. You'll see near the
beginning of that function:

PREINIT:
SV *ref2;

Make that:

PREINIT:
SV *ref2;
int count;

Further down in the same function, you'll find:

int count = call_pv( "threads::shared::_remote",G_ARRAY );

Change that to:

count = call_pv( "threads::shared::_remote",G_ARRAY );

Then run 'make clean', 'perl Makefile.PL' and 'make' and see what happens.
If I've got it right, you shouldn't get any errors in relation to
cond_timedwait. Not sure if that's going to take care of *all* errors,
however.

(Many recent compilers will accept the code in cond_timedwait as is ....
apparently your compiler won't.)

Cheers,
Rob

Excellent ! Thanks for the information it now compiles perfectly.


Just for info I has to change :

from

PREINIT:
SV *ref2;

to

PREINIT:
SV *ref2;
int count;
bool retval;
U16 ordinal;



and then change

int count = call_pv( "threads::shared::_remote",G_ARRAY );
to
count = call_pv( "threads::shared::_remote",G_ARRAY );

and

bool retval = POPi;
to
retval=POPi;

and finally
U16 ordinal = POPi;
to
ordinal = POPi;


My compiler is :

bash-2.05$ gcc -v
Reading specs from
/opt/sfw/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/2.95.3/specs
gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)

Maybe I should inform the module owener ?


Anyway thanks for the info much appreciated!

Cheers

Andy

Yep - missed them.

Yes - wouldn't hurt to let him know. However, I don't know if he'll want to
do anything about it. The way he's written the code does conform to one of
the later C standards (is it C89 ?). It's just that gcc-2.95, which must be
getting rather old, doesn't recognise that standard. If it were me, I would
want to rewrite the code so that gcc-2.95 *can* compile it ..... but that
might just be *me* :-)

Cheers,
Rob
