Just to check that it still works, I've just built Perl 5.12.1 on MacOS X 10.6.4 (released earlier this week), direct from source. It took me 3 or 4 goes to get the config right because I got return-happy and missed the questions that need a non-standard answer. /Users/jleffler/perl/v5.12.1-32bit/bin/perl: Mach-O executable i386 /Users/jleffler/perl/v5.12.1/bin/perl: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 /usr/bin/perl: Mach-O universal binary with 3 architectures /usr/bin/perl (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 /usr/bin/perl (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386 /usr/bin/perl (for architecture ppc7400): Mach-O executable ppc The really tricky question was the one about building shared libraries - it was: What command should be used to create dynamic libraries? [env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 cc] I had to add '-m32' to that by typing '$1 $2 $3 -m32'. For the rest, I ensured that the software was installed where I wanted it (/Users/jleffler/perl/v5.12.1-32bit) and almost everything else was left at default - I decline to use vfork(). It took, oh, 20 minutes to build and test - probably less; I set it running while I went swimming with the kids, and it was done long before I got back. -- Jonathan Leffler <[email protected]> #include <disclaimer.h> Guardian of DBD::Informix - v2008.0513 - http://dbi.perl.org "Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves, for we shall never cease to be amused."
