Building Perl 5.8.0 on SCO OSR 5.0.6 socketpair.t - problem
Heinz Tenschel
I tried building Perl 5.8.0 on my SCO Openserver 5.0.6
but one of the test failed:

Any idea how to compile perl without that error? Or download a VOL?
Thank you!

I have the same error. I loaded Perl and have Spammassassin/Razor
working with it without any obvious errors.

Yes - some things are running fine with my perl, but some perl modules
(GD, ...) can't be build or show some errors.
I think there should be somebody at SCO compiling some "open source"-
packages (like perl, ...) and provide them packed to VOLS for down-
load. Not everybody using SCO Openserver knows how or want to install gcc,
compile things ... For a lot of Linux distributions i can download
and install such packages very easily; that why i'll try to move with
some of the servers as soon as possible to Linux.

They've been doing this for years. Have you looked at the Skunkware CD
that came with OpenServer?

Perl 5.6.0 for OSR 5.0.5 is available as oss632a, and you already have it
on OSR 5.0.6.
When OSR 5.0.7 is released, I think it may have a more recent version of
Perl.

Is ftp://ftp.caldera.com/pub/openserver5/README.OSR5.Supplements the
wrong place to look for oss632a? I can't find it.
And where can i find perl 5.8.0? And all the libs needed to get
the GD modul build and installed?
TIA

What you cite is a file.
I'm not seeing that OS either at this moment...

Built for OSR 5? Don't know.

I have tried both extensively, and feel the stability of SCO is worth a bit
of extra effort. The people at SCO realize the importance of good development
tools, such as GCC and PERL, and I think you will see more effort placed
in getting the open source packages to compile on SCO without a problem.
The next release should be out soon, likely within a month, hopefully with
a good selection of tools in it.
The one area that does seem to be a problem is with the UCB vs. SYSV network
headers, both on Openserver and UnixWare.

I agree, and hope that SCO will fix the dad-gummed loader or
whatever is the real, down at the root, base problem. It is just plain
silly that we have to 'rassle to get things to link and load properly
when (evidently) a large portion of the rest of the world just compiles,
installs, and executes such important tools as Perl, gimp, and so forth.
Please SCO, fix the thing if you want to keep your loyal
customers!

Perl is a huge, complex system. Someone posts that its test suite gives
it a 99.86% pass with no porting, and you are whining about the poor
compatibility of the development system? Give me a break.
(Oh wait: "Failed 1/712 test scripts, 99.86% okay. 31/68005 subtests
failed, 99.95% okay." -- so that's 99.95% ok at the detail level.)
Building complex software takes work. If you're building Perl on Linux,
someone else may already have done the work for you. Or not -- it
depends on what versions of what libraries you have installed, what Perl
finds, how it all hangs together. It's much the same on OpenServer,
except there are many less "distributions" of OpenServer, so once one
person does the work, it should apply to most OSR5 systems.
Whatever's causing 31 subtests to fail can be found and fixed. Someone
just needs to do it. It may turn out to be a bug in OSR5 socketpair();
a bug in Perl; or a miscommunication between the two (Perl configured
incorrectly for the facilities on OSR5).
