Subject: Problems compiling sybperl 2.10 on Sol. 2.6/Perl 5.0005.02/Syb. 11.5.1

Hi folks,

I've been asked to upgrade our Perl version from 5.001 to 5.005.02, and
also our SybPerl to 2.10.

I've already built Perl 5.005.02.  Trying to make SybPerl 2.10, I'm
hitting a snag with CTlib.{xs,c}.  I'm compiling with an older (1994)
version of the Sun unbundled SPARCompiler suite, SPARCompiler C 3.0.1.

Here's what I get:

oda3:1:56 [/usr/local/src/lang/perl/sybperl-2.10] # make -k
cc -c -I/usr/local/sybase/include -I/usr/local/include
-I/usr/gnu/include
-I/opt/gnu/include -O     -DVERSION=\"2.10\"  -DXS_VERSION=\"2.10\"
-KPIC
-I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00502/sun4-solaris/CORE -DCTLIBVS=100
-DSYBPLVER='"2.10"' -DDO_TIE CTlib.c
"CTlib.xs", line 393: fatal: macro recursion
cc: acomp failed for CTlib.c
*** Error code 2

and later on, the same problem with DTlib.{xs,c}:

cc -c -I/usr/local/sybase/include -I/usr/local/include
-I/usr/gnu/include -I/opt/gnu/include -O     -DVERSION=\"2.10\" 
-DXS_VERSION=\"2.10\" -KPIC
-I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00502/sun4-solaris/CORE -DDBLIBVS=1000
-DSYBPLVER='"2.10"' -DDO_TIE DBlib.c
"DBlib.xs", line 414: fatal: macro recursion
cc: acomp failed for DBlib.c
*** Error code 2

The line it objects to in both cases is

    if((attr_ref != &PL_sv_undef)) {

and the "PL_sv_undef" is what's causing the problem.

Again, the compiler version is

coda3:1:75 [/usr/local/src/lang/perl/sybperl-2.10/DBlib] # cc -V
cc: SC3.0.1 13 Jul 1994

Any help in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

	- Greg
