From: jeff AT nuance DOT com (Jeff Bergan) Subject: Apologies, and cont of problems compiling perl 28 Jan 1999 00:41:05 -0800 Message-ID: <003d01be4a41$66a21320$68c718d1.cygnus.gnu-win32@pacific.nuance.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: Hi, Very sorry about my last message being sent in html format. My mailer seems to have decided to switch formats without telling me, but I've beaten it back into submission (I think!). I followed the directions posted on comp.lang.perl.misc by Steven Morlock, and I did get it to build successfully, passing ~ 90% of the tests. However, when I run make install, it still says: ../perl installperl mkdir /usr/local/bin /usr/local/bin is not writable by you make: *** [install.perl] Error 2 Now, as you can see, it just created /usr/local/bin (I deleted what was there to make sure), and then claims it can't write to it. An ls -l on /usr/local/ says: drwxr-xr-x 2 administ Domain U 0 Jan 27 13:39 bin (cropped) Now, I've tried chmod, which doesn't affect it, I've tried setting the NT permissions to give everyone full control, and I've tried using the NT properties to take control of the directory, but nothing seems to change it, or affect ./perl installperl. Any suggestions? Jeff PS. It still complains during Configure that $d_void_sig is "undef", and I have no idea if it should be, and also "sh Configure" doesn't perform variable substitutions on the .SH files, claiming that they are not there. I instead did "sh Makefile.SH" etc, for all the *.SH files. PPS. This is NT/SP3, cygwin b20.1, egcs 1.1 - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
