perl in arm-linux cross compile failure!

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

My english so poor, i'm so helpless.... When I cross compile the Perl source(5.10.1) in linux. I followed the README . But the last step: make perl, I got the info :

…..

Why did you use 5.10.1? Why not the current Perl - 5.12.3? If you're brave enough - the git version? :) That error looks like something got screwed up in the compile/configure process, can you tell us the commands you used before typing "make perl" ? Hope you resolve this!	[reply]

config file `### Target Arch ARCH = arm #ARCH = i386-pc #ARCH = sh4 #ARCH = mips #ARCH = mipsel #ARCH = ppc ## Specific arm #CONFIG_TARGET_ARM_SA11X0 = 1 #CONFIG_TARGET_ARM_XSCALE = 1 ### Target OS OS = linux #OS = solaris2.8` [download] readme file : `You need a working and tested cross-compiler for your build and target combination. The binary directory must be in your path. 1) You should be reading me (README) in perl-5.x.y/Cross 2) Make sure you are in the Cross directory. 3) Edit the file 'config' to contain your target platform informa +tion. 4) make patch ## This will patch the existing source-tree. 5) make perl ## Will make perl` [download] so , before "make perl", I use "make patch" but the terminal show this info : `root@guo-qijiang-desktop:/tmp/perl-5.10.1/Cross# make patch cd .. ; if [ ! -e ./CROSS_PATCHED ] ; then \ patch -p1 < Cross/Makefile.SH.patch; \ patch -p1 < Cross/installperl.patch ; mv installperl installpe +rl-patched; \ sed -e 's/XXSTRIPXX/arm-linux/' installperl-patched > installp +erl; \ touch CROSS_PATCHED ; fi root@guo-qijiang-desktop:/tmp/perl-5.10.1/Cross#` [download] I really don't know what happened then. please help me, thank you.

I'm so sorry . I found that command "patch" is not in my system. - -! this time , i install the "patch 2.6 ". but, when i use "make patch " the terminal show this: root@guo-qijiang-desktop:/tmp/perl-5.10.1/Cross# make patch cd .. ; if [ ! -e ./CROSS_PATCHED ] ; then \ patch -p1 < Cross/Makefile.SH.patch; \ patch -p1 < Cross/installperl.patch ; mv installperl installpe +rl-patched; \ sed -e 's/XXSTRIPXX/arm-linux/' installperl-patched > installp +erl; \ touch CROSS_PATCHED ; fi patching file Makefile.SH Hunk #1 succeeded at 160 (offset 31 lines).
