I'm trying to build parrot on OS X 10.3. It gets as afar as "Determining if your C compiler is actually gcc..." and then fails a link test. It turns out that it's failing because it is trying to use "c++" to do the linking.
Any idea why? It's using $link, not $cxx, and I haven't found an assignment $link = $cxx anywhere in config/init, but I haven't done any deep diving yet. I know that some things are built with C++ but using it for all the linking seems like bloat waiting to happen. There is no mention whatsoever of c++ in my Perl5 config, so it's not coming from there... Anyway, the reason C++ isn't linking is that it needs some libraries that aren't included in the Perl5 $libs, and I can't figure out how to get Configure.pl to add to that. I would expect it to honor LDFLAGS or LIBPATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH or something... -- Mark J. Reed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
