Hi\, I have tried configuring the perl-5.8.8 for MIPS 64 big endian. The target architecture supports 64bit integers.

*The configurations fails with the following errors​:* Cannot figure out how to print 64-bit integers. Checking the format strings to be used for Perl's internal types... ./Configure​: Fatal​: failed to find format strings\, cannot continue.

If I see the "Configure "file\, $ivsize is set with 8 and $sPRId64 is set NULL(''). With these values it going in to the error condition and exiting.

Is there any way to get ride of it??

Thanks a lot in advance.... -Phani

hints/mips.sh is really short\, but hints towards using a different compiler. Is your mips system using this hint file?

The very first question is about your OS

[linux]

As you can see\, my system suggests 'linux'. If your system suggests 'mips'\, it will use hints/mips.sh to do some specific OS related settings\, and that file /might/ be the place to tell Configure how to deal with 64bit on mips if it fails using the default analysis

H.Merijn Brand appears to have given a reasonable response to the original poster's questions\, and there has been no further correspondence in nearly 4-1/2 years.

I am marking the ticket resolved.

Thank you very much. Jim Keenan
