=head1 BUILDING PERL ON DG/UX |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
=head2 Non-threaded Perl on DG/UX |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Just run ./Configure script from the top directory. |
| 47 |
Then give "make" to compile. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
=head2 Threaded Perl on DG/UX |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
If you are using as compiler GCC-2.95.x rev(DG/UX) |
| 52 |
an easy solution for configuring perl in your DG/UX |
| 53 |
machine is to run the command: |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
./Configure -Dusethreads -Duseithreads -Dusedevel -des |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
This will automatically accept all the defaults and |
| 58 |
in particular /usr/local/ as installation directory. |
| 59 |
Note that GCC-2.95.x rev(DG/UX) knows the switch |
| 60 |
-pthread which allows it to link correctly DG/UX's |
| 61 |
-lthread library. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
If you want to change the installation directory or |
| 64 |
have a standard DG/UX with C compiler GCC-2.7.2.x |
| 65 |
then you have no choice than to do an interactive |
| 66 |
build by issuing the command: |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
./Configure -Dusethreads -Duseithreads |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
In particular with GCC-2.7.2.x accept all the defaults |
| 71 |
and *watch* out for the message: |
| 72 |
|
| 73 |
Any additional ld flags (NOT including libraries)? [ -pthread] |
| 74 |
|
| 75 |
Instead of -pthread put here -lthread. CGCC-2.7.2.x |
| 76 |
that comes with the DG/UX OS does NOT know the -pthread |
| 77 |
switch. So your build will fail if you choose the defaults. |
| 78 |
After configuration is done correctly give "make" to compile. |
| 79 |
|
| 80 |
=head2 Testing Perl on DG/UX |
| 81 |
|
| 82 |
Issuing a "make test" will run all the tests. |
| 83 |
If the test lib/ftmp-security gives you as a result |
| 84 |
something like |
| 85 |
|
| 86 |
lib/ftmp-security....File::Temp::_gettemp: |
| 87 |
Parent directory (/tmp/) is not safe (sticky bit not set |
| 88 |
when world writable?) at lib/ftmp-security.t line 100 |
| 89 |
|
| 90 |
don't panic and just set the sticky bit in your /tmp |
| 91 |
directory by doing the following as root: |
| 92 |
|
| 93 |
cd / |
| 94 |
chmod +t /tmp (=set the sticky bit to /tmp). |
| 95 |
|
| 96 |
Then rerun the tests. This time all must be OK. |
| 97 |
|
| 98 |
=head2 Installing the built perl on DG/UX |
| 99 |
|
| 100 |
Run the command "make install" |
| 101 |
