ccollins123 : 09/10/02 12:51 AM : Incident created -   Hello everyone, Is there a utility I can use under Linux to compile Perl programs into executables that can be run without Perl installed? Thanks, C. Collins
Linegod_7611 : 09/10/02 10:44 AM : Reply received -   Install the perl-devel RPM, and then do 'man perlcc'. It should give you all the info you need on how to create perl executables. ------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
ccollins123 : 14/10/02 11:19 PM : More info provided -   Linegod, I seem to have a perlcc manpage, but when I type perlcc, I get "bad command". I looked for the perl-devel rpm in the /Mandrake/RPMS directory on my linux CD but couldn't find it. Any suggestions? Thanks, C. Collins
Linegod_7611 : 15/10/02 08:17 AM : Reply received -   Try doing a search for perl-devel at http://rpmfind.net , and grab the matching Mandrake version (determine your perl version with 'rpm -q perl' ) ------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
ccollins123 : 18/10/02 08:07 PM : More info provided -   Linegod, I found some perl-devel RPMs on rpmfind.net, but I couldn't find any for i686. Is it all right to download one for i586? Thanks, C. Collins
Linegod_7611 : 20/10/02 07:43 AM : Reply received -   Yes. All of the Mandrake RPMs are i586. All that means is that they where compiled on a i586, and will work with i586 or above (not below - ie i486) ------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
