Trying to build a patched version of perl, using the perl-35 tree. It's dying at the c compiler stage with the following errors: Operating system name? [darwin] Operating system version? [8.3.0] Build Perl for SOCKS? [n] Use the PerlIO abstraction layer? [y] Build a threading Perl? [y] Use the newer interpreter-based ithreads? [y] Use which C compiler? [cc] cc: Invalid arch name : PPC Uh-oh, the C compiler 'cc' doesn't seem to be working. cc: Invalid arch name : PPC Uh-oh, the C compiler 'cc' doesn't seem to be working. You need to find a working C compiler. Either (purchase and) install the C compiler supplied by your OS vendor, or for a free C compiler try http://gcc.gnu.org/ I cannot continue any further, aborting. make[1]: *** [/private/var/tmp/perl/perl-35.obj/perl/configure-stamp] Error 1 make: *** [installperl] Error 2 Is there something special that one needs to set or do to get a working c compiler?
