13 years ago Hi\,
I'm trying to compile perl-5.12.3 on Ubuntu 11.04 alpha 3\, 32-bit variant. Configure fails to find any libs to link against\, which causes make to fail because e.g. pow() isn't found (-lm is not used).
I've attached myconfig's output.
Any ideas what's going on?

13 years ago I have made this bug a 5.14 blocker. It'd really suck if we didn't work right on the latest ubuntu when it came out.

Also\, a question to the OP: does your Ubuntu alpha installation already have a system perl installed on it; if so\, could you post the output of /usr/bin/perl -V ?

Hi\,
I'm trying to compile perl-5.12.3 on Ubuntu 11.04 alpha 3\, 32-bit variant. Configure fails to find any libs to link against\, which causes make to fail because e.g. pow() isn't found (-lm is not used).
By default\, Configure looks in the following directories for libraries:
/usr/local/lib /lib /usr/lib /usr/lib64
It looks like Ubuntu has moved the math library (and presumably other libraries as well) out of /lib/ and /usr/lib into /lib/i386-linux-gnu. (I presume other names are used for other architectures\, but I don't know what those other names actually are.)
The quick workaround is to tell Configure about the new directory:
sh Configure -Dplibpth=/lib/i386-linux-gnu -de
I don't know how Ubuntu is managing to compile perl for itself without such a workaround (or its equivalent).
Assuming this is a deliberate change in Ubuntu\, the fix for 5.14 will be to detect this situation in the hints/linux.sh hint file and add the appropriate plibpth values automatically. In order to do that\, I could use some help:
Does anyone understand this new organization enough to suggest how to coax the necessary directory name (e.g. /lib/i386-linux-gnu) out of the build tools? (For example\, what should it be on an amd64 system? How about PPC? SPARC? Are there trailing 32s or 64s on any of those names? etc.)
Clearly\, however\, the compiler on the system has been taught to look in the appropriate directories. In the long term\, perhaps Configure ought to consider looking for a library by trying to use it cc -o try try.c -lm rather than trying to find the file libm.*.

The output of perl -V is attached.
I come across the same bug again today while trying to compile blead on the upcoming Ubuntu release. Besides libm\, librt is also missing.
And this is for a blead perl compiled adding "-lm -lrt" into the broken ld command executions by hand:

13 years ago On a whim\, I cloned the following code from hints/cygwin.sh into hints/linux.sh:
plibpth=`gcc -print-file-name=libc.a` plibpth=`dirname $plibpth` plibpth=`cd $plibpth && pwd`
This is enough goo to actually get Perl building on ubuntu 11.04 and other similar multiarch distributions. But it's ungodly brittle and makes too many assumptions.
Could someone who knows something about how to write hints code portably and safely perhaps gin us up an equivalent stanza with the right bulletproofing? (Or some better way to do this)
Thanks!

Currently\, I'm fiddling with
# Configure sets trnl='\n'; plibpth=`gcc -print-search-dirs | grep libraries | cut -f2- -d= | \ tr ':' $trnl | grep -v 'gcc' | uniq`
For Linux only\, where 'readlink' is likely to be available\, I've also fiddled with
pblibpth=`gcc -print-search-dirs | grep libraries |cut -f2- -d= | \ sed -e's/\:/\n/g' | xargs -n1 readlink -f | grep -v 'gcc | uniq`
I want to check whether this can safely go in a cc.cbu call-back unit\, where we know the name of the compiler be used. I just haven't checked whether that's too late for setting plibpth.

It works for me on Ubuntu Natty x86_64.
I'd love to hear about reports on slackware ppc or something equally ancient and esoteric.

Good catch. I suspect those were harmless\, but certainly unintended.
Your patch looks fine. However\, looking at my lines right below
it\, I realized they didn't do what I intended (and I didn't
adequate test them.) Specifically\, plibpth doesn't end up all on a single
line\, and running
./perl -Ilib -V:plibpth
comes up curiously empty.
Here's a fix that includes your patch as well as the correct incantation to collapse plibpth onto a single line.
