Linking Perl Modules with gcc - avoiding conflicts with cc

[Thomas Gutzmann <th...@gutzmann.com>]

Hi,

under Solaris 9 with Perl 5.6.1 pre-installed, I just fought with these 
infamous error messages

cc: unrecognized option `-KPIC'
cc: language depend not recognized

which are quite resistant against all tricks like linking cc to gcc and 
so on.

The underlying reason is that Perl was installed with the Sun "C" 
compiler.

There are several hints in the internet (and this forum) how to patch 
Makefile.

An more elegant way is to give Makefile.PL the correct parameters:

perl Makefile.PL CC=gcc LD=gcc OPTIMIZE=-O CCCDLFLAGS=-fpic

Not a s sexy as patching, though ;-)

Cheers,

Thomas G.
