in thread Perl for ARMv7le

I have provided the link which deccribes the steps I followed and error message I get

Posting the link again below : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41108190/cross-compile-perl-for-qnx-6-6-0-armle-v7

its just that the target machine does not have the native compiler or the ssh. so I'm kind a stuck here

    Have you tried without the -j4 switch? If you get different error messages at different runs, that sounds like a problem when running multiple build targets at the same time.

    Also, it seems that some part of the build process expects to find a miniperl executable locally available. You could try to either build it or link the perl executable to it. But I wonder why it should fail for you when the instructions are correct.

      I tried without the -j4 option, I get the same error

      ./generate_uudmap uudmap.h bitcount.h mg_data.h ./generate_uudmap: 1: ./generate_uudmap: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")") make: *** uudmap.h Error 2

      also tried "arm" instead of " armle"for -Dtargetarch, but i end up getting same error

        So it seems to me that your shell is incompatible with the shell that generate_uudmap expects.

        This is something you will have to investigate yourself. Maybe it is just some shell variable that is not expanded as it should.

        Have you tried running the command manually or by explicitly using /bin/sh to run it?

    There are at least two substantive reasons that making your question dependent on offsite files tends to be discouraged... and deprecated:

    1. Offsite links may disappear into the bit bucket before your question loses relevance for some future reader.
    2. Some of us tend to regard off-site code as potentially malicious.

    Yes, your source is very long. But code & data supporting the question could be made much more concise (and thus, posted here) were you to try to follow some of the suggestions in this advice . See also [SSCCE|link to short form definition and link.
