4/26 Trying to compile Perl on Darwin, I'm stuck on this line:
ar -rc bar2.a bar2.o bar1.o
Any reason why? ok thx
\- did you run into problems with the case-insensitivity on the
mac file system? that's probably a different problem but somthing
i ran into building perl a while ago. --psb
\_ Starting with 10.3, you can turn "on" case-sensitivity on HFS+,
but there is no gurrantee that it won't create more problems
than it solve. By the way, how did you manage to compile perl
eventually?
\- the general view seems to be fmting the fs with
the case sensitivity option is asking for trouble as a
number of tools dont expect this, such as some backup
software. re: perl ... not's not hard to get around once
you figure out what is doing on, e.g. configure = Configure =
CONFIGURE. --psb
\_ mac osx doesn't have perl included as a default??
\_ he's referring to Darwin, not OS X. |
