I guess that version of perl has now been superceded and i sno longer available. Anyone know which is the current latest version of Perl?

Look at the beginning of configure.in (or the prebuilt configure that came with the src) for info on what version of autoconf is needed. 2.13 and 2.5x aren't totally compatible Dave _______________________________________________ UX2BS mailing list UX2BS at os2ports.com http://os2ports.com/mailman/listinfo/ux2bs **= Email 8 ==========================** Date: Mon, 5 Jul 2004 00:25:09 +0100 From: John Poltorak Subject: Re: less On Sun, Jul 04, 2004 at 01:34:11PM -0400, Ken Ames wrote: > > hi John, > > John Poltorak wrote: > > >On Sun, Jul 04, 2004 at 12:51:05PM -0400, Ken Ames wrote: > > > > > >>ok, I found what seems to be a problem, the real perl-5.8.3.tar.gz is > >>not getting downloaded, I keep getting something that is only about 1meg > >>in size. > >> > >> > > > >I guess that version of perl has now been superceded and i sno longer > >available. > > > >Anyone know which is the current latest version of Perl?

Everything in UX2BS is built using build.cmd with a parameter being the app being built. To build perl, you should run 'build perl'. > Ken -- John _______________________________________________ UX2BS mailing list UX2BS at os2ports.com http://os2ports.com/mailman/listinfo/ux2bs **= Email 9 ==========================** Date: Mon, 5 Jul 2004 00:26:55 +0100 From: John Poltorak Subject: Re: less On Sun, Jul 04, 2004 at 01:40:45PM -0400, Ken Ames wrote: > hi John, > just a BTW, perl is up to 5.8.4 but 5.8.3 is still there so I wouldn't > know why ux2bs is doing this to me.

I haven't had chance to confirm it myself yet, but it looks like the previous version on CPAN has now been superceded so building perl no longer works. -- John _______________________________________________ UX2BS mailing list UX2BS at os2ports.com http://os2ports.com/mailman/listinfo/ux2bs
