Re^2: compiling perl 5.38 on a solaris 10 system

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your reply.

I've compiled perl on one of our linux systems and there compilation runs fine. The solaris system is quite old, so I assume something outdated is causing the problem.

The reason I was compiling it on solaris was that our current perl version which is 5.12 doesn't support SSL, and I need that to connect to Microsoft's Active Directory. I can live with executing a ssh script from solaris to linux and put more effort in the migration from solaris to linux instead of trying to solve this issue as it seems not to have a straightforward solution.

Thanks,
Luc.

The last few builds I tried on Solaris (SPARC) 10 failed, using gcc. The last would have been around v5.34, 2021ish. There was issues raised for failing builds at the time. Now we're focused on ditching Solaris as a platform for Linux.	[reply]
