Building error trying against perl 5.26.1
selkfoster opened this issue · 4 comments
Hello :-)
Since the version of perl-cross 1.1.4 I can't compile perl-5.26.1 using the latest versions of perl-cross as static. I am still sticky to perl-5.24.1, perl-cross 1.1.4. This is the error that I am getting from the compilation (using perl-5.26.1/perl-cross 1.1.8):

The building options were the same as the previous with perl-5.24.1:
./configure
--prefix=/tools
--target=$target
--all-static
-Dprivlib=/tools/lib${libSuffix}/perl5
-Dsitelib=/tools/lib${libSuffix}/perl5/site_perl
-A ldflags="$BTLDFLAGS -static"
Can you please check if this branch fixes the build for you?

The immediate cause of the failure is that it builds modules as dynamic regardless of supplied LINKTYPE. The reason for that is somewhere in the depths of MakeMaker, not sure about it yet.
Sorry for the delay. I am testing it now.
It seems to work but I am re-processing it again to make the confirmation.
My goal is to obtain perl as static, while it can load the XS modules dynamically. This is possible for a native installation using perl-cross?.
Note: Currently I am using it (perl/perl-cross) for a temporary system, later the native installation is made. But I want to achieve the same as above ^, I wonder if will work...
Yes! it works with the 'static' branch. Sorry for my last question, what I want to achieve to replace this temporary perl, is to see if I can build perl/perl-cross in the same way, the perl binary as static and the external modules (.pm). What do you think?
For static perl with dynamic modules, try something like
./configure ... -Dldflags=-static -Accflags=-fno-pie
Depends on toolchain, some should link just fine without -fno-pie.
