I am having difficulties compiling perl-5.7.2 on our Qnx system. I downloaded the development version (5.7.2) and performed the configuration step. When I attempt to build via "make" I encounter an error with libperl3r for pp_pack.c (undefined symbols my_swap\, my htohl\, and my_ntonl).

The reason that I started doing this is because my company needs the Digest​:MD5 for running cons and I need to re-build Perl because our system does not support dynamic loading.

I have included the screen output of the error\, as well as\, my configuration file. \<\<output.txt>> \<\> Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also encountered the same errors with perl-5.6.1

Thanks Jim

  I see from your configuration that 'libs' is empty.   My configuration has 'libs=-lsocket -lcrypt -lunix'   -lunix is probably required to pick up common unix functions   not defined elsewhere. -lcrypt is required if you want to   use perl's crypt function. -lsocket is required unless you   explicitly exclude the Socket extension (and hence all   internet access). You will obviously need the TCP/IP toolkit   in order to have the correct socket library. The Watcom   compiler ships with a stub version of socket3r.lib that   will allow some simple programs to compile and link\, but   not something as complex as perl.

  Let me know how it goes...
