I figured this was more appropriate for freebsd-hackers than freebsd-questions.
Here's the deal. I'm trying to compile Perl 5.8.1 on a FreeBSD 5.1 SMP box. The kernel is compiled with SMP, APIC and npx support. GCC is version 3.3.1, compiled with POSIX thread support. When I configure Perl with -Dusethreads -Duseithreads (or even 5005threads), it configures properly with no errors, but when I do `make' I get the following error: `sh cflags "optimize='-O'" miniperlmain.o` miniperlmain.c CCCMD = /usr/bin/gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -DAPPLLIB_EXP=/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.1/BSDPAN -DHAS_FPSETMASK -DHAS_FLOATINGPOINT_H -ansi -ffloat-store -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -O -Wall `sh cflags "optimize='-O'" perl.o` perl.c CCCMD = /usr/bin/gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -DAPPLLIB_EXP=/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.1/BSDPAN -DHAS_FPSETMASK -DHAS_FLOATINGPOINT_H -ansi -ffloat-store -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -O -Wall perl.c: In function `S_init_perllib': perl.c:3949: error: parse error before '/' token perl.c:3949:42: too many decimal points in number *** Error code 1 I added in the "-ansi" and "-ffloat_store" gcc arguments after I was already getting this error, just to see if it would fix the problem, but it did not fix it. I can compile Perl without thread support and it works fine. But with thread support it gives me the same error every time. The box is a dual CPU Pentium III 600 and is loading the Pentium Pro MTRR support. This happens with Perl 5.8.0 as well. Anyone have any ideas? --Brendan _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
