Installing Xerces Perl on Solaris 2.8

Hello,

	I am trying to install Xerces Perl on Solaris 2.8. I have successfully
installed Xerces C++.

	The message below comes up as a result of typing 'make' after first doing
a 'perl Makefile.pl'.

	Someone else posted about this error a few months back. They never
solved the problem and moved on to something else.

	Is there a fix to the problem below?
	
	or
	
	Do you know of another validating XML parser accessible via Perl?

Thanks,
David

Ahh.... Yes, you're correct. It's been so long since I built Perl, I
had forgotten that it doesn't actually ask about a C++ compiler. So it
works if you use gcc.

Try running 'gmake CC=CC' to force it to use the C++ compiler.

Jason,

Is it really fair to say that Perl is misconfigured?  Isn't it more
accurate to say that perl's Configure.pm does not contain any
information about compiling C++ source?

I'm no perl or C++ expert, but this is the impression I get.  I'm in
the process of building perl-5.6.1 for four platforms, and paying
attention to Configure.pm, with an eye to being able to build xerces-p
on Digital.  Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see anything in Configure.pm
about a C++ compiler or its options.

Perhaps you have a chance with gcc, which can handle both C and C++
code with the same command and options.  That's what I'm hoping,
anyway.  (But Perl's Configure and hints/dec_osf.sh are conspiring to
make it very difficult to use gcc instead of ld!)

I'll report back if I make any progress.

Cheers,
David

Hey David,

I think this is because Perl is misconfigured. cc is giving an error
because it is a C++ file, what happens if you run 'make CC=CC' to
explicitly tell it to use the C++ compiler?

There isn't a known fix, however, I do have access to a Solaris 8 box
at sourceforge with the Sun compiler and gcc. Which are you using?

None that I know of.
