--- Comment #12 from Denis Excoffier <Denis.Excoffier at airbus dot com> 2011-03-17 14:43:35 UTC --- (In reply to comment #11) > I don't really understand Denis' reluctance to build a newer perl as a > prerequisite No problem with perl itself, i've a working perl-5.13.10 compiled on this solaris8. It is that i try to build with as few prerequisites as possible: currently, with only an old gcc and an old make (borrowed from sunfreeware, you must know that on Solaris no default C compiler is installed) i am able to build the last GCC, then the last GNU make, then the complete tool chain (patch, m4, gzip, bison, tar, coreutils etc.) up to date. I would have to also find a working binary perl, no big deal but if we can avoid that using a few sed commands, that's perfect.
