Обсуждение: building 7.4 with plperl
Before I go deep into this - does anyone have the quick fix for this ? Some facts - the 7.3.4 version of plperl.c has the same errors in the 7.4 tree. The 7.4 version of plperl.c (with some error handling API calls commented out) compiles fine in the 7.3.4 tree. (Same machine - same install of perl !) Points to using some alternate perl API probably by macro collision ? gcc -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fpic -I. -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-linux/CORE -I../../../src/include -D_GNU_SOURCE -c -o plperl.o plperl.c plperl.c: In function `plperl_create_sub': plperl.c:306: warning: passing arg 1 of `perl_call_pv' from incompatible pointer type plperl.c:306: warning: passing arg 2 of `perl_call_pv' makes pointer from integer without a cast plperl.c:306: error: too few arguments to function `perl_call_pv' plperl.c:317: error: `thr' undeclared (first use in this function) plperl.c:317: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once plperl.c:317: error: for each function it appears in.) plperl.c: In function `plperl_call_perl_func': plperl.c:425: warning: passing arg 1 of `perl_call_sv' from incompatible pointer type plperl.c:425: warning: passing arg 2 of `perl_call_sv' makes pointer from integer without a cast plperl.c:425: error: too few arguments to function `perl_call_sv' plperl.c:437: error: `thr' undeclared (first use in this function) plperl.c: In function `plperl_build_tuple_argument': plperl.c:810: warning: passing arg 1 of `perl_eval_pv' from incompatible pointer type plperl.c:810: warning: passing arg 2 of `perl_eval_pv' makes pointer from integer without a cast plperl.c:810: error: too few arguments to function `perl_eval_pv' make: *** [plperl.o] Error 1

I suspect that the right answer would be to change the name USE_THREADS to PG_USE_THREADS for pg.

Perry, MS E.E. > Director of Networks & Applications > VCSN, Inc. > http://vcsn.com I normally wouldn't reply to myself but I didn't have the original message. I just built 7.4 on a Slackware 9.1 release with the following configure command: ./configure --enable-thread-safety --with-perl --with-openssl --with-tcl I did not get any errors. The perl version was 5.8.0 and GCC version was 3.2.3 On the box that did get errors, it was perl 5.6.1 and gcc 2.95.3 (slackware 8.0 me thinks) I hope this additional information helps. -- Keith C.

So theoretically, if you're using plperl in V7.3.4 or earlier, you simply don't need "--enable-thread-safety" and so you may compile happily without it. (That's the theory anyway). This certainly needs to be addressed (patch or document) but it's not at all an issue for someone migrating from an earlier release (not a regression). I hope that you're slightly concerned *no more*. G

I've got a project to move all my servers to Slackware 9.1 which will make this non-issue for me but for the original poster your patch or omitting the "--enable-thread-safety" option look like equally good resolutions.
