I did notice that cc (SunCC) is being used as the linker, but that is
not what is causing the error...
One of the flags being passed to /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc, is cc which is
not a valid flag for cc.
=20
It seems that OTHERLDFLAGS in the generated Makefile looks like this:=20
=20
"cc -Xa -xstrconst -xF -xarch=3Dv8 -xchip=3Dultra -W2,-AKNR_S
-W2,-Rglobal_hoist ..."
=20
That does not look like a list of flags, that is a command...hmm...
=20
So when I edit the Makefile and remove the "extra" cc from the command
line (you will notice there are two below), everything compiles fine.
So I am getting to the point where I think there is a bug in the
Makefile.PL. =20
=20
Is that more apropos here, or the dev list?

First, is this the right place to ask questions about compiling
DBD::Oracle?



Strictly no -- it should be in dbi-users@perl.org.=20



I am having trouble building with DBD-Oracle 1.19

Against the stock perl in Solaris 10, I get an error that looks
like this:

So it seems that the perl Makefile.PL is putting "cc" on the ld
commandline and ld is trying to open cc. That seems odd.



Did you build this Perl? Do you have a Sun C compiler on the machine?=20

Building shared objects with the C compiler is common practice many
places and standard practice on Solaris.

The most usual problems people have is that they do not have a Sun C
compiler on the machine at all, or they only have /usr/ucb/cc (which is
found but doesn't compile anything). The fix is to get the Sun C
compiler -- or rebuild Perl with GCC (and have GCC on the machine), or
obtain a Perl build with GCC.=20

It shows up in OTHERLDFLAGS. So when I edit the Makefile that is
created to just remove cc, everything works fine.=20

See:

Anyone know the Makefile.PL well enough to say why cc ends up in
the OTHERLDFLAGS, since its not a flag? Is there something I should add
to the commandline of Makefile.PL when I run it?
