<stikonas>fossy: not too sure what's going on with those linking errors, need to understand perl better than I do, but this hack workarounds them... sed -i 's/perl_call_method/Perl_call_method/' ext/Data/Dumper/Dumper.xs <stikonas>I thought once I get one module working, it will be much easier to get remaining ones... <stikonas>but it turns out to be quite some work to get each perl module built... <stikonas>although, I guess the good news is that perl 5.6 with modules should last us for a long time... <stikonas>I think even newest autotools can run on it <fossy>in kexec-tools land, it now fully compiles, but now i need to strip out some other parts for it to link <fossy>i am unconvinced that i have not crippled it so much it just won't work <stikonas>hmm, so currently I can run somewhat newer automake (automake 1.6) but autoconf is still blocked on more modules, and we need newer autoconf more... (newer automake also depends on newer autoconf) ***ChanServ sets mode: +o rekado_
***rekado_ is now known as rekado
<stikonas>fossy: pder: we should probably regenerate ltmain.sh files too. Which means we need to run libtoolize from libtool <stikonas>Perl needs more work (although, what I have in a local git already adds a few modules and does not break things) <stikonas>oh, actually, it might be enough for autoconf 2.53 (although not enough for something like 2.59). Unfortunately, something else is breaking with 2.53 <stikonas>autom4te script (written in perl) blocks on something and never returns <stikonas>(newer autoconf still needs Errno module, building it is a doable but a bit annoying because I need to patch location of errno.h header) <fossy>stikonas: yeah ik, but which package has ltmain.sh right now? <stikonas>newer gawk will have it too, I think pder wants to switch to newer version <stikonas>but at the moment old gawk was compiled manually <stikonas>at the moment we don't have anything else with autotool <stikonas>anyway, for now I'm rebuilding perl-5.6.2 <dannym>janneke: Hmm, did you get the security quickscan mail? I have no idea where the chat they mention is... <Hagfish>the diff looks good to me, but what do i know :) <Hagfish>i get the impression that bootstrapping perl is like solving some ancient mystery, or unsolved disappearance <Hagfish>or like finding an easter egg in a 20 year old computer game
