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

Perl v5.6.1 built for sun4-solaris

Solaris 8

DBD-Oracle-1.14, DBD-Oracle-1.14 --all working fine

Tk800.023 & .024 give the following:

perl Makefile.PL -- works fine

make -- error(s)

#1: In file included from Xlib_f.c:10: Xlib.t:96: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type

      Mike;
      Had the same problem on virtually the same platform. I found this link, which helped me:

      http://news.gw.com/netbsd.bugs/25907

      In short, edit /Tk800.024/Tk/MMutil.pm for two things:
      1) around about line 333, make the if statement read like this:
      if ($] >= 5.008001)

      2) search for the string "--center" (should be around line 335). Take one of the dashes out.

      I did both of these things and make ran cleanly. However, "make test" is now freezing during a test after:

      make1: Leaving directory `/build/Tk800.024/Bitmap'

      Ideas? :)

      ---Chaos, fear and disorder. My work here is done.
