Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2000 13:49:49 -0700 From: Peter Wemm Message-Id: <20000630204949.13A6D1CD7@overcee.netplex.com.au> Sender: owner-freebsd-alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org All things being equal, the perl problem should be fixed. It was a problem in the config.SH files - it had 'long' in the int32 type settings and 'long long' for 64 bit types. In hindsight I should probably have set them all to int32_t, int64_t etc. There is still a warning in the 'B' module that I do not like the look of, but perl builds and miniperl runs for the dependency stuff. I finished a buildworld/installworld about 5 minutes ago. Matthew Jacob wrote: > > Yes, I'd like help with this also.
