Installation problem: uses cc instead of gcc

Posted on 2008-06-27 11:35:05-07 by kaklon

Hello
my installation fails at the make stage.
How do I make the installation to us gcc instead of cc for which I don't have a licence?
best regards
nicolas

I get this message:
cc -n32 -mips3 -IPA -c -I.. -D_BSD_TYPES -D_BSD_TIME -woff 1009,1110,1174,1184,1552 -OPT:Olimit=0:space=ON -I/usr/freeware/include -I/usr/include -O3 -DVERSION=\"0.01\" -DXS_VERSION=\"0.01\" -I/usr/freeware/lib/perl5/5.6.1/irix-n32/CORE CountColor.c
No such feature exists (-5,116)
The MIPSpro C Compiler
(license FEATURE string = cc)
requires a license password.

Re: Installation problem: uses cc instead of gcc

Imager uses ExtUtils::MakeMaker, which uses the C compiler used to build your perl.

You might be able to get it to build Imager on your platform using GCC by supplying CC, CFLAGS and probably other options to Makefile.PL, but I have no idea what options would be required for your platform.

Re: Installation problem: uses cc instead of gcc

Thank you for the hint
That's what I was suspecting. The problem is that I build PERL on the same machine without using the cc compiler, as I don't have a licence, real strange. I'll have to do some other research.
I'm really looking forwars to use your module.
Best regards
