Subject: installing Fast CGI with PERL on Solaris 2.5
Hello all. I've been beating my brains out on this off and on for a
week now, with no success. I have Perl 5.003 patch level 3 installed on
my Solaris 2.5.1 system. I have tried both the sfio and fcgi_stdio
methods for integrating Fast CGI with my Perl. The instructions at
http://www.fastcgi.com/kit/doc/fcgi-perl.htm
do not work for me. When compiling sfio (97), I get all sorts of errors
which appear to be coming from the generation of ast_common.h. I
finally made this compile with many -D switches to the make command.
However, I'm not sure that that was the correct solution, and I would
like to hear from someone with experience in this. Having finally made
it compile, I tried to integrate it with my Perl, which seemed to work,
but then when I tried to make Fast CGI, it said that my Perl did not
have sfio/perlio.
When configuring Perl, I was never asked the question about IO that is
shown in the instructions:
Perl5 can now use alternate file IO mechanisms to ANSI
stdio. However these are experimental and may cause problems with
some extension modules. Use stdio as with previous versions? [y]
You should answer no.
So, I gave up on sfio and tried fcgi_stdio. I got errors in proto.h
about aff__ or something like that, which I can't find in there.
Does anyone have any suggestions or pointers?
Thanks...
