The problem appears to be in the "make depend" stage. I've tried the following scenarios​:

1. DEC cc and DEC make 2. DEC cc and GNU make 3.76 3. gcc 2.95.2 and GNU make 3.76 4. gcc 2.7.3.2 and GNU make 3.76 5. gcc 2.7.3.2 and GNU make 3.78.1

Nothing worked\, and the problem was always identical.

I even tried installing GNU sed 3.0.2 thinking perhaps DEC's sed was broken.

Can someone help?

I accepted nearly all of Configure's defaults. The only things I changed were libpath and ldflags really. See the myconfig output​:

I invoked Configure like this​:

sh ./Configure -Uinstallusrbinperl -Dprefix=/usr/contrib/osf-4.0 -Dcc=gcc

The end of the Configure process went like this​:

Now you need to generate make dependencies by running "make depend". You might prefer to run it in background​: "make depend > makedepend.out &" It can take a while\, so you might not want to run it right now.

Run make depend now?

If you compile perl5 on a different machine or from a different object directory\, copy the Policy.sh file from this object directory to the new one before you run Configure -- this will help you with most of the policy defaults.

make

Line 602 of the makefile says​:

config.h​: Bletch​: How does this C preprocessor catenate tokens?

If I delete this line from the makefile and run make again...

make `sh cflags libperl.a miniperlmain.o` miniperlmain.c   CCCMD = gcc -DPERL_CORE -c -ansi -DLANGUAGE_C -O3
Make​: Don't know how to make perlCAPI.h. Stop.

Edward-

The warning messages you included regarding file modification times imply that your NFS client is out of sync with your NFS server -- file modification times are written from the NFS servers POV\, while the make process uses the system time of the NFS client.

I cannot see where your particular error came from -- but your build process may have been compromised by the time skew. I suggest you ask your friendly sysadmin to fix the time skew. ntp\, rdate\, whatever.

Well\, you were right. I rebuilt everything on a local device\, and it worked fine. Frankly\, I'm surprised by this. I've built a lot of complicated packages in my day\, and this is the first one I've come across where an NFS time skew actually caused the build to fail. I can usually just ignore those modification-time-in-the-future warnings.

Thanks\, Ed

What\, you think we just added the warnings to encourage conversation? :)

Actually that GNU feature was added to GNU make because builds _were_ failing\, in obscure and non-obvious ways\, and people supporting GNU tools were wasting a lot of time trying to figure out the problems.

Unfortunately\, the algorithm GNU make uses to detect timestamp skew is too aggressive and results in too many false positives\, so lots of times people ignore them anyway. Given the architecture of GNU make it's tricky to come up with a more precise check that still covers all the problem areas. And even more tricky to come up with the time to implement it ;).

But at least this way it's much easier to tell if this _might_ be the problem.
