Hi I'm trying to install version-0.78.tar.gz on AlphaServer hardware with Tru64 Unix. Show quoted text

Surprisingly enough, I don't have access to all possible hardware, OS, and compiler combinations. The line it is complaining about is, as far as I can tell, perfectly legal C code. Is there anyway you could give me a login on that box so I can poke around and see if I can make it happy? I can provide a copy of my public key, so we wouldn't have to mess around with passwords. Thanks for the bug report... John

Hi John Thanks for your quick reply. I can't give you access to this machine because it's in a corporate intranet. But I can give you access to a very similar one. Slightly different hardware, same software, same problem. The machine scheduled for being taken out of service, and I don't know when it becomes unavailable. So hurry up ;-) Just send me you public key, and I can give you root access. Regards Ueli Show quoted text

The Tru64 UNIX C compiler doesn't permit braces inside macro definitions, so I had to do this: === vutil/ppport.h ================================================================== --- vutil/ppport.h (revision 519) +++ vutil/ppport.h (local) @@ -7083,7 +7083,11 @@ #endif #ifndef SvPVx_nolen_const -# define SvPVx_nolen_const(sv) ({SV *_sv = (sv); SvPV_nolen_const(_sv); }) +# if defined(__GNUC__) && !defined(PERL_GCC_BRACE_GROUPS_FORBIDDEN) +# define SvPVx_nolen_const(sv) ({SV *_sv = (sv); SvPV_nolen_const(_sv); }) +# else +# define SvPVx_nolen_const(sv) (SvPV_nolen_const(sv)) +# endif #endif #endif /* _P_P_PORTABILITY_H_ */ That will be included in the next CPAN release. Thanks for the bug report! John
