Perl4 not compiling on iBook

Ovid on 2006-08-14T08:20:35

Doesn't everyone try to compile Perl4 for their iBook? Trying the Mac classic version didn't work as I don't have the emulation layer installed and I have no inclination to install it. Merely downloading the tarball and compiling from source failed, too. It couldn't find my C libraries. What would that be, libc.so or something like that? I couldn't find 'em either, but then, this isn hardly my area of expertise. Bummer.

C libraries

try /usr/lib/libc.dylib. When installing 5.004_05, I noticed that it asked for a different shared library extension. Apparently, that question isn't in 4.036, since I have just tried to install it too. You have to change default makefile location if your partition is case insensitive; I've changed 'makefile' to 'makefile.osx' like I did for 5.004_05, bust still getting a make error, *** No rule to make target `', needed by `array.o'. Stop., as well as many warnings.
