[Info-vax] Building Perl on VAX

[Daniel Sundqvist]

Hi

I'm trying to build Perl 5.22.4 on my OpenVMS 7.3 Vax system with CC064 (DEC C).

After som initial problem with virtual memory parameters, it has now begun to compile.

It fails though on numeric.c:

CC/DECC /Include=[]/Standard=Relaxed_ANSI/Prefix=All/Obj=NUMERIC.obj/NoList/NAMES=(SHORTENED)/Define=PERL_CORE NUMERIC.C
                    *value = (infnan & IS_NUMBER_NEG) ? -NV_INF: NV_INF;
        .................................................^
%CC-W-FLOATOVERFL, In this statement, floating-point overflow occurs in
 evaluating the expression "1.8e308".
                At line number 1265 in PERLSRC:[000000]NUMERIC.C;1.

                    *value = (infnan & IS_NUMBER_NEG) ? -NV_INF: NV_INF;
        .........................................................^
%CC-W-FLOATOVERFL, In this statement, floating-point overflow occurs in
 evaluating the expression "1.8e308".
                At line number 1265 in PERLSRC:[000000]NUMERIC.C;1.

%VCG-I-SUMMARY, Completed with 0 error(s), 2 warning(s), and
                0 informational messages.
                At line number 1654 in PERLSRC:[000000]NUMERIC.C;1.

%MMK-F-ERRUPD, error status %X10B90000 occurred when updating target NUMERIC.OBJ


Anyone got an idea how to get pass this? And are theese really errors or warnings?

Thanks
Daniel
