[csw-users] Perl on build hosts and DynaLoader

[Juergen Arndt]

Hi all,

I'm trying to build Nagios with it's embedded perl interpreter. Some weeks  
ago that was no problem, but since yesterday I run into the following  
problem:

Undefined                       first referenced
  symbol                             in file
boot_DynaLoader                     perlxsi.o

The file perlxsi.c is created in the configure script:


         PERLLIBS="`/opt/csw/bin/perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts`"
         PERLDIR="`/opt/csw/bin/perl -MConfig -e 'print  
$Config{installsitearch}'`"
         CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} `/opt/csw/bin/perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts`"
         USEPERL=yes
         INSTALLPERLSTUFF=yes;
         PERLXSI_O=perlxsi.o
         OBJS="${OBJS} ${PERLXSI_O}"
         echo "creating base/perlxsi.c"
         /opt/csw/bin/perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e xsinit -- -o base/perlxsi.c


As far as Google told me, the needed libs should be determined by  
"/opt/csw/bin/perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts", so the configure script  
should be ok. I checked, if PERLLIBS is passed correctly to the compiler,  
which seems to be fine too. Nevertheless the compiler complains when  
building:

Does anybody have an advice for me?
