| |
| =head1 BUILDING PERL ON DG/UX |
| |
| =head2 Non-threaded Perl on DG/UX |
| |
| Just run ./Configure script from the top directory. |
| Then give "make" to compile. |
| |
| =head2 Threaded Perl on DG/UX |
| |
| If you are using as compiler GCC-2.95.x rev(DG/UX) |
| an easy solution for configuring perl in your DG/UX |
| machine is to run the command: |
| |
| ./Configure -Dusethreads -Duseithreads -Dusedevel -des |
| |
| This will automatically accept all the defaults and |
| in particular /usr/local/ as installation directory. |
| Note that GCC-2.95.x rev(DG/UX) knows the switch |
| -pthread which allows it to link correctly DG/UX's |
| -lthread library. |
| |
| If you want to change the installation directory or |
| have a standard DG/UX with C compiler GCC-2.7.2.x |
| then you have no choice than to do an interactive |
| build by issuing the command: |
| |
| ./Configure -Dusethreads -Duseithreads |
| |
| In particular with GCC-2.7.2.x accept all the defaults |
| and *watch* out for the message: |
| |
| Any additional ld flags (NOT including libraries)? [ -pthread] |
| |
| Instead of -pthread put here -lthread. CGCC-2.7.2.x |
| that comes with the DG/UX OS does NOT know the -pthread |
| switch. So your build will fail if you choose the defaults. |
| After configuration is done correctly give "make" to compile. |
| |
| =head2 Testing Perl on DG/UX |
| |
| Issuing a "make test" will run all the tests. |
| If the test lib/ftmp-security gives you as a result |
| something like |
| |
| lib/ftmp-security....File::Temp::_gettemp: |
| Parent directory (/tmp/) is not safe (sticky bit not set |
| when world writable?) at lib/ftmp-security.t line 100 |
| |
| don't panic and just set the sticky bit in your /tmp |
| directory by doing the following as root: |
| |
| cd / |
| chmod +t /tmp (=set the sticky bit to /tmp). |
| |
| Then rerun the tests. This time all must be OK. |
| |
| =head2 Installing the built perl on DG/UX |
| |
| Run the command "make install" |
