Build Error When Running make swig-pl-lib on Centos 7/Perl 5.36.1/Swig 4.1.1 - Subversion 1.14.2

[Rahr, Jeffrey A (US)]

I am trying to build the perl swig links in Subversion 1.14.2.

Unfortunately this is on a non internet connected system with no ability to export build logs.

Environment:

Centos 7

Perl 5.36.1

Swig 4.1.1

gcc 4.8.5

make swig-pl-lib

generates a message of "PL_current_context" undeclared on the line - # define PERL-GET-CONTEXT    PL_current_context

in the file perl/5.36.1/lib/5.36.1/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/CORE/thread.h

Anyone have any idea where PL_current_context is defined? Guessing this is more of a subversion/perl integration issue as opposed to a subversion issue and possibly a problem with the perl build and a libc (v2.17) that is no longer being updated on Centos 7.

The build works on RedHat 8 in a similar environment. The only maor difference is gcc v8.5.0 and libc v2.28

Thanks for any insight or ideas.

I'm by no means a Perl expert, but I just downloaded 5.36.1 from perl.org and in this archive, the file thread.h contains the following (lines 386-388):

[[[

extern PERL_THREAD_LOCAL void *PL_current_context;

#  define PERL_GET_CONTEXT        PL_current_context

]]]

(I assume the "-" in your message was mistyped.). Is it the same in your thread.h? The paths you mention doesn't quite match up so maybe there is something with your perl source.

 

Kind regards,

Daniel Sahlberg

Stop there. Don't build this by hand. Get the latest working SRPM, in
order get the dependencies straightened out, and update the .spec file
from that. RHEL 7, in particular, as an incompatible sqlite library.
And RHEL is being peculiar about publishing the "libserf-devel"
package for the serf libraries.
