Compiling perl Net::Interface module on CentOS 8.1 fails - perl

I download the sources and manually tried to compile the perl Net::Interface module. Using CPAN to install the module gives the same error.
wget http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/MI/MIKER/Net-Interface-1.016.tar.gz
tar xvfz Net-Interface-1.016.tar.gz
cd Net-Interface-1.016
perl Makefile.PL
Now this fails with the below error
checking for getnameinfo... yes
checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... no
checking for uint8_t... yes
checking size of uint8_t... configure: error: cannot compute sizeof (uint8_t)
See `config.log' for more details.
could not open config.h
config.log shows the below error
configure:10128: result: yes
configure:10135: checking size of uint8_t
configure:10437: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld -fstack-protector-strong -L/usr/local/lib conftest.c >&5

configure: program exited with status 1
configure: failed program was:

How can I fix this error? config.log seems to suggest to pass "-fPIC" flag but I am not sure how?
Thanks.

The configure script needs to be run with --enable-shared for some reason (it is not necessary on Ubuntu). The following worked for me in a docker container with CentOS 8:
./configure --enable-shared
perl -I. Makefile.PL
make
sudo make install

Swift compiler error at the time of compiling

Trying to compile a .swift file using the swift compiler in Ubuntu 19.10 but facing this error at the time of compilation.
$ swiftc swift.swift

clang-7: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I have also tried it with -v parameter and it shows this:

linking problem, can't find symbol even though nm shows symbol in library

I'm linking an app against lflutter_linux_glfw. nm tools shows it has glad_glTexImage2D:
nm libflutter_linux_glfw.so | grep glTexImage2D
00000000034e87a0 b glad_glTexImage2D
00000000034e87a8 b glad_glTexImage2DMultisample
So I included lflutter_linux_glfw.so before flutter_video_renderer.o, and I get this:

make: *** [/home/dev/orwell/orwell_flutter/linux/../build/linux/debug/flutter_desktop_example] Error 1
In other words, it complains there's no reference to glad_glTexImage2D even though it it indeed in
flutter_linux_glfw.so. I also tried adding flutter_linux_glfw.so after the flutter_texture_video_renderer.o but I get the same error
nm libflutter_linux_glfw.so | grep glTexImage2D
00000000034e87a0 b glad_glTexImage2D
00000000034e87a8 b glad_glTexImage2DMultisample
These symbols are local to the library (not exported from it).
You can see the list of exported symbols with:
nm -D libflutter_linux_glfw.so
You will observe that glad_glTexImage2D is not listed there.
P.S.
I included lflutter_linux_glfw.so before flutter_video_renderer.o
This is the opposite order of what you are supposed to do: libraries should follow the objects that refer to them (though this doesn't really matter for shared libraries).

Boost.Python Link Error with Python3 and virtualenv

I got the following error when I tried to compile .cpp file with clang++.
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
I set up Python and boost-python as follows.
Python
I installed Python 3.6.0 using pyenv-virtualenv (via homebrew)
Boost-Python
I used homebrew in Python 3 environment.
$ source activate py36
$ brew install boost-python --with-python3 --without-python
~/.bash_profile
My ~/.bash_profile looks like this:
export PYENV_ROOT="/usr/local/var/pyenv"
export PYENV_VIRTUALENV_DISABLE_PROMPT=1
export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH="$CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH:/usr/local/var/pyenv/versions/3.6.0/include/python3.6m/"
if which pyenv > /dev/null; then eval "$(pyenv init -)"; fi
if which pyenv-virtualenv-init > /dev/null; then eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)" ; fi

Figures out package boost-devel was missing.

Not able to compile LibXML in 64 bit HPUX

We were trying to compile the LibXML module for perl in 64 bit HPUX machine.
We ran the .configure like below:
./configure --prefix=/software/opt/HPUX11/ia64/libxml2-2.7.7 --target=ia64-hpux
The compiler is set to 64 bit: export CC="cc +DD64"
Then we ran gmake install, the following error occured:
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/software/src/libxml2-2.7.7'
/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=link cc +DD64 -o xmllint xmllint.o ./libxml2.la -lpthread -lm

Fatal error.
