( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I'm trying to install the Storable module for an old (5.004.04) version of Perl.

I've downloaded Storable-1.014 from CPAN, but I'm running into problems getting it to compile:

(spacing added for readability)
bash-2.03$ make cc -c -I/apps/sun5/perl5.004.04/ext/include -O -DVERSION=\"1.014\ +" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.014\" -Kpic -I/apps/sun5/perl5.004.04/lib/sun4-so +laris/5.00404/CORE Storable.c "/apps/sun5/perl5.004.04/lib/sun4-solaris/5.00404/CORE/perlio.h", line + 137: syntax error before or at: __attribute__ "/apps/sun5/perl5.004.04/lib/sun4-solaris/5.00404/CORE/perlio.h", line + 137: warning: syntax error: empty declaration "/apps/sun5/perl5.004.04/lib/sun4-solaris/5.00404/CORE/proto.h", line +47: syntax error before or at: __attribute__ "/apps/sun5/perl5.004.04/lib/sun4-solaris/5.00404/CORE/proto.h", line +47: identifier redefined: __attribute__ current : function() returning int previous: function() returning int : "/apps/sun5/perl5.004.04/ +lib/sun4-solaris/5.00404/CORE/perlio.h", line 137

These problems seem to be stemming from core C headers, and I'm at a loss as to how to sort them out.

Has anyone seen anything like this before? Can anyone suggest a way to fix these errors, save for me hacking around with the headers?

Thanks in advance ...

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
