Konovalov, Vadim Vladimirovich (Vadim)** CTR ** (vkono...@alcatel-lucent.com)

How this list is created?

I don't see neither HTML::Tagset nor XML::NamespaceSupport in 5.8.9-RC1

BR,
Vadim.

Thanks, that works

Also got error about missing <asm/page.h> because gentoo's linux-headers
package do not contain it - but this is known thing:
SysV.xs:7:25: error: asm/page.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [SysV.o] Error 1

Returning to slightly misleading comment on "lib/Net/hostent.t" -
Yes, behaviour on 5.8.8 is exactly the same as in 5.8.9-RC1:


w/o "localhost" entry on /etc/hosts

coli perl-5.8.8 # ./perl lib/Net/hostent.t
1..7
ok 1 - use Net::hostent;
not ok 2 - gethost('localhost')
#   Failed test 'gethost('localhost')'
#   in lib/Net/hostent.t at line 36.
# Can't continue without working gethost:
# Looks like you planned 7 tests but only ran 2.
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 2 run.

w/ "localhost" entry on /etc/hosts

coli perl-5.8.8 # ./perl lib/Net/hostent.t
1..7
ok 1 - use Net::hostent;
ok 2 - gethost('localhost')
ok 3 - addr from gethost
ok 4 - gethostbyaddr('127.0.0.1')
ok 5 - addr from gethostbyaddr
# name = localhost, aliases =
ok 6
ok 7
# localhost
coli perl-5.8.8 #                          

BR,
Vadim.

Sorry, with perl-5.8.8 I'm lost.

./Configure -des  
.....
...
Now you must run 'make'.

If you compile perl5 on a different machine or from a different object
directory, copy the Policy.sh file from this object directory to the
new one before you run Configure -- this will help you with most of
the policy defaults.

coli perl-5.8.8 # make
make: *** No rule to make target `<command-line>', needed by
`miniperlmain.o'.  Stop.

At the same time I built Perl on this PC.

coli perl-5.8.8 # uname -a
Linux coli 2.6.22.18-co-0.7.3 #1 PREEMPT Sat May 24 22:27:30 UTC 2008
i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6300 @ 1.86GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Sorry,
I can't figure it out.

Vadim.

very small problem.

I happen not to have "localhost" entry in /etc/hosts and therefore got
failing test:


Failed 1 test out of 1108, 99.91% okay.

running it separatedly gives me a wrong guess on my problem:

coli perl-5.8.9-RC1 # ./perl ./lib/Net/hostent.t
1..7
ok 1 - use Net::hostent;
not ok 2 - gethost('localhost')
#   Failed test 'gethost('localhost')'
#   at ./lib/Net/hostent.t line 36.
# Can't continue without working gethost:
# Looks like you planned 7 tests but only ran 2.
# Looks like you failed 1 test of 2 run.
# Looks like your test died just after 2.


I do have working gethost, although do not have "localhost" entry.

When I added "localhost" all became ok:

coli perl-5.8.9-RC1 # ./perl ./lib/Net/hostent.t
1..7
ok 1 - use Net::hostent;
ok 2 - gethost('localhost')
ok 3 - addr from gethost
ok 4 - gethostbyaddr('127.0.0.1')
ok 5 - addr from gethostbyaddr
# name = localhost, aliases =
ok 6
ok 7
# localhost


Best regards,
Vadim.

once for --static and once for --dynamic? (a guess)

When all will be settled, ext/util/make_ext and ext/util/make_ext_cross
will be single shell script (or Perl script? I like the idea of transforming it to
Perl script)

I'll redo my changes for cross-compilation when needed, so please do not
take into consideration cross-compilation part, for now.

yes, IMO buildext.pl could be used on all platforms - not only on Win32.

There were no replies to my email when I noticed this - and I thought it is
either because idea was silently disliked, or it was silently approved, or
combination of the two
:)

Vadim.
