I have been having trouble with Tk compiling with perl-5.8.8 on
Solaris 8 or 9, with two different versions
of Sun compilers. The problems are the same with both the release
804.027 version and the new potential
release 804.027_050.
The 804.027 version of Tk compiles and works with perl-5.8.0 (with
the exception of a syntax problem in the
ptk PNG code described at the bottom).
Here's the summary result from "make test" for the new 804.027_050:

*** Error code 255
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `test_dynamic'
If you install despite the bad news, most things work, but some very
simple things fail. For example, this code dies during startup at the
$MW->update() or if that is commented out, at $MW->Unbusy() :
% cat ptk
: # use perl
eval 'exec perl -S $0 "$@"'
if 0;
use Tk ;
$MW = MainWindow->new ;
$MW->update() ;
$MW->Busy() ;
$MW->Unbusy() ;
MainLoop ;
% ./ptk
Bus error
If I look at the create.t test script, it is also failing on an
update command at line 136.
In the perl debugger, stepping over the eval { $mw->update ; }
command seems to put one
in an infinite loop, using up all the cpu -- truss shows it catching
repeated SIGBUS errors,
but never recovering.
In a c debugger, I find the following stack:

I don't know what to try next. I believe that I demonstrated the
same problem
with the gcc compiler on solaris 8. But I have to use the solaris
compiler
in any case.
The less significant problem is the following syntax in imgPNG.c:
} else if ( png_get_gAMA ) {
.
.
and
if ( png_set_gAMA ) {
.
.
where png_get_gAMA and png_set_gAMA are functions. While gcc seems
to like this
syntax, the Sun compilers don't, so I presume it's some extension
from GNU.
A previously solution which avoids the syntax error at least is to
add "&& 1" following
the function name.
The solaris compiler error message is
controlling expressions must have scalar type
