freddo411 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello All,

I hope that question concerning compiling a perl distribution is appropriate here.

I am attempting to build perl 5.005.03 on Solaris 2.8 with gcc 3.2.2 and GNU make. Yes, I know that this solaris has this perl built in -- my reasons are another SoPW post.

I successfully do sh Configure, using the defaults. make depend works too. When I do a make I get: 

make: *** No rule to make target `<built-in>', needed by `miniperlmain
+.o'.  Stop.

I don't know what to do at this point. Any ideas?

Cheers -Fred
