On a 486 w/20MB running FreeBSD 2.0.5R, tried to build perl5.001m.
I ran ./Configure and took defaults throughout. Hit return as
suggested to run make depend, and got:
Daisy10:51> make depend
"Makefile", line 110: Need an operator
"Makefile", line 233: Need an operator
Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
Daisy10:51>
Well, lines 108-112 of Makefile look like:
--------
all: makefile miniperl $(private) $(public) $(dynamic_ext)
@echo " "; echo " Making x2p stuff"; cd x2p; $(MAKE) all
# This is now done by installman only if you actually want the man pages.
# @echo " "; echo " Making docs"; cd pod; $(MAKE) all;
--------
and lines 231-235 look like:
--------
perl opcode.pl
perl embed.pl
# Extensions:
# Names added to $(dynamic_ext) or $(static_ext) will automatically
--------
I note that both fatal error lines are blank; line 110 has a tab, but
line 233 is truly blank. By deleting the tab from line 110, I got
make down to one fatal error message. But line 233 baffles me, since
it's truly blank.
I downloaded perl5.001m.tar.gz from perl.com, so it's the real thing.
Is there a problem with /usr/bin/make in FreeBSD 2.0.5R ?
I'd appreciate e-mail on this, since I can't subscribe to questions.
