building Perl5.8.0 with threads support fails

[Odhiambo Washington]

Hello All,

I have googled, but it seems noone ever answered it or I just did
not search correctly, but ...


I have only tried this on FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE. I am trying to
install perl5.8 (ports) with threads support and it bombs out with the
following error:

<cut>

`sh  cflags "optimize='-O -pipe -mcpu=pentiumpro'" opmini.o`  -DPERL_EXTERNAL_GLOB opmini.c
          CCCMD =  cc -DPERL_CORE -c -DAPPLLIB_EXP="/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0/BSDPAN" -DHAS_FPSETMASK -DHAS_FLOATINGPOINT_H
-fno-s
trict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -O -pipe -mcpu=pentiumpro -Wall
rm -f opmini.c
cc -pthread -Wl,-E  -L/usr/local/lib -o miniperl  miniperlmain.o opmini.o libperl.a -lm -lc_r -lcrypt -lutil
./miniperl -w -Ilib -MExporter -e '<?>' || make minitest

You may see some irrelevant test failures if you have been unable
to build lib/Config.pm or lib/lib.pm.

Perhaps someone has done and seen the same thing on and knows
a solution??? If I do not pass -DWITH_THREADS to make, then
all is fine, but I want support for threads to run some application.

A novice was trying to fix a broken Lisp machine by turning the power
off and on.  Knight, seeing what the student was doing spoke sternly:
"You can not fix a machine by just power-cycling it with no
understanding of what is going wrong."  Knight turned the machine off
and on.  The machine worked.
