WARNINGS

on Dec 11, 2002 at 22:24 UTC ( [id://219198]=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

efw has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm using perl v5.8.0 built for i386-linux-thread-multi on a linux PC running Red Hat Linux version 8.0 kernel 2.4.18-14. I'm running a perl script that creates a makefile. I get the following warnings. WARNING: CC is not a known parameter. WARNING: LD is not a known parameter. Setting CC and LD in the shell and exporting them does not help. The creator of the script says it works on other systems/versions, and that these are warnings from perl. Is anyone familiar with these warnings and how I make the parameters known to perl? The make errors out and I'm guessing it's linked to these warnings. Thanks efw

    Are you certain that it is perl throwing those warnings ? What script is it ? Do the WARNINGS go away if you remove -w or use warnings from the script ?

    post some code, else no-one can help you.

    Post the relevant parts of the code and tell us how you're invoking the script. Otherwise, all you're going to get is a lot of guessing.

    Things that might help:

    #1: Post some code.
    #2: Post some code.
    #3: Try it with perl-5.6.
    #4: Post some code.
    #5: Do you actually have the development tools (eg. gcc, ld, etc) installed? which gcc should return a path if you do.
    #6: Post some code.

    Cheers,

    $ echo '$0 & $0 &' > foo; chmod a+x foo; foo;

      OK, I could be off-base here but maybe if I post some code it might help ;-)

      I’m trying to install a package called Verilog-Perl 2.214. The entire package is 300KB and can be downloaded at: http://search.cpan.org/author/WSNYDER/Verilog-Perl-2.214/

      Perl is used to create a makefile. When I execute the perl script I get the following:

      efw@localhost Verilog-Perl-2.214$ perl Makefile.PL
      WARNING: CC is not a known parameter.
      WARNING: CC is not a known parameter.
      WARNING: LD is not a known parameter.
      Writing Makefile for Verilog::Preproc::lib
      Writing Makefile for Verilog::Preproc
      Writing Makefile for Verilog::Language
      efw@localhost Verilog-Perl-2.214$

      I don’t know for certain that perl is issuing these warnings. That is what I was told by the author of the code.

      Here is the listing of Makefile.PL:

    Obviously the “Anonymous Monk” posting was by mine. My password was on my home PC but I was at work, so could not log in.

    Hopefully it gives enough details. Let me know if any more are needed.

    Thanks!! efw
