To do this I need to link with the Solid ODBC library which I only have in a.out format. Since the rest of the system is ELF I am not sure how to accomplish this. Will I need to compile Perl in a.out format? If so how do I do this? I have tried setting OBJFORMAT to aout, and running a make in src/gnu/usr.bin/perl, but that halts like this: ===> miniperl Warning: Object directory not changed from original /home/rz/src/stable3/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/miniperl sh config_h.sh Extracting config.h (with variable substitutions) cc -O -pipe -I/home/rz/src/stable3/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/miniperl/../../../../contrib/perl5 -I/home/rz/src/stable3/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/miniperl -c /home/rz/src/stable3/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/miniperl/../../../../contrib/perl5/miniperlmain.c cc -O -pipe -I/home/rz/src/stable3/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/miniperl/../../../../contrib/perl5 -I/home/rz/src/stable3/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/miniperl -static -o miniperl miniperlmain.o -lperl -lm -lcrypt -L/usr/obj/aout/home/rz/src/stable3/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/libperl ld: -lperl: no match *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop.
