in reply to Obtaining perl-5.6.2 for modern Ubuntu

Configure works fine in my fedora latest linux. But make complained

make: *** No rule to make target '<command-line>', needed by 'miniperl +main.o'. Stop.
which led me to https://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2008/02/msg133863.html . So it is possible because of gcc or other programs' output format to change over the years to get these kind of messages.

I guess you need to follow sh ./makedepend MAKE=make and find out where that unterminated string is.

Additionally, I remember some years ago a post here mentioning that make failed because of unquoted strings (some module not perl). I remember I found out that compiler defines -DXXX needed to be doubly quoted with escaped quotes. I tried to search but nothing comes up neither here nor with other search services.

my .clist in root folder contains:

av.c scope.c op.c doop.c doio.c dump.c hv.c mg.c perl.c perly.c pp.c pp_hot.c pp_ctl.c pp_sys.c regcomp.c regexec.c utf8.c gv.c sv.c taint.c toke.c util.c deb.c run.c universal.c xsutils.c globals.c perlio.c perlapi.c miniperlmain.c perlmain.c

BTW, I looked more carefully the build log and found this:

ERROR: The installation "5.6.2" is unknown. $ perl --version This is perl 5, version 22, subversion 1 (v5.22.1) built for x86_64-li +nux-gnu-thread-multi

bw, bliako

ps. Oh I get it, you tried to install 5.6.2 just because of the above. Sorry for the noise
