compiling perltk on hp11

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

Hello, i am able to compile perltk 804.027 with both 5.8.7 and 5.8.8 in both 32-bit and 64-bit modes. whenever i run "gmake test" only about 21% tests pass. i have been able to definitively say that it is related to the "update" method; does not seem to matter what the object is.

are other people able to compile on hp11 and run tests with most tests passing? is anyone able to spot what might be wrong in my config? other suggestions? thanks.

Assuming that the failures are basically the same, there's certainly no need to show us the entire test results, but it would be handy if you could show us the output of running: `perl -Mblib t/fail.t` [download] where you replace `fail.t` with one of the actual test files that demonstrates the failure. Other than that, you might find something helpful listed among the Tk bug reports. And, looking at the cpantesters results, I notice there's an 804.027_500 release that hasn't got any failures reported (though it's not extensively tested). Perhaps you'd have better luck with it.

The tests failing messages appear on linux too.... they are harmless. Just make sure the "widget" demo runs as it should. (Of course, you MAY have a real problem :-) ) I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Cogito ergo sum a bum	[reply]

Please delete this duplicate. How did that happen? The tests failing messages appear on linux too.... they are harmless. Just make sure the "widget" demo runs as it should. (Of course, you MAY have a real problem :-) ) I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Cogito ergo sum a bum	[reply]
