Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Warning: This extension uses C++ and requires that you use the C++ compiler to compile the XSUB file ( normally just a C compiler is required ). If your build fails with a plethora of errors, then check two things: 1. That you have defined the correct OS_xxxxx macro for your platform ( see the Perforce API documentation for more info ) 2. That the correct compilers are being used. 3. That you're using the correct build of the Perforce API. See hints/linux.pl to see how it should be done. This extension requires the Perforce API in order to be built. If you do not yet have the API files, then download them from ftp://ftp.perforce.com before continuing. Where is the Perforce API to be found: The test suite needs to know where your Perforce server is. The tests are non-invasive and no new data will be added to your depot during the tests Enter the address of your Perforce server: [localhost:1666]: Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lclient Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lrpc Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lsupp Writing Makefile for P4::Client::lib Writing Makefile for P4::Client cp UI.pm blib/lib/P4/UI.pm cp Client.pm blib/lib/P4/Client.pm AutoSplitting blib/lib/P4/Client.pm (blib/lib/auto/P4/Client) cp example.pl blib/lib/P4/example.pl cd lib && make make[1]: Entering directory `/home/cpanrun/depot/main/contrib-patched/perl/CPAN/src/P4-Client/lib' cc -c -I/home/cpanrun/depot/main/contrib-patched/perl/CPAN/src/P4-Client -Ilib -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199506L -D_REENTRANT -Ae -D_HPUX_SOURCE -Wl,+vnocompatwarnings +DD64 -DNO_HASH_SEED -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -fast +DSitanium2 +Ofltacc=strict -DVERSION=\"\" -DXS_VERSION=\"\" +Z "-I/home/cpanrun/ia64-lp64/build/5.8.2/lib/5.8.2/IA64.ARCHREV_0-thread-multi-LP64/CORE" clientuserperl.cc ar cr libp4.a clientuserperl.o ar: could not open clientuserperl.o make[1]: *** [libp4.a] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/cpanrun/depot/main/contrib-patched/perl/CPAN/src/P4-Client/lib' make: *** [lib/libp4.a] Error 2
