131 | .IX Title "PERLBEOS 1" | |
132 | .TH PERLBEOS 1 "2006-01-07" "perl v5.8.8" "Perl Programmers Reference Guide" | |
133 | .SH "NAME" | |
134 | README.beos \- Perl version 5.8+ on BeOS | |
135 | .SH "DESCRIPTION" | |
136 | .IX Header "DESCRIPTION" | |
137 | This file contains instructions how to build Perl under BeOS and lists | |
138 | known problems. | |
139 | .SH "BUILD AND INSTALL" | |
140 | .IX Header "BUILD AND INSTALL" | |
141 | .Sh "Requirements" | |
142 | .IX Subsection "Requirements" | |
143 | I have built and tested Perl 5.8.6 and 5.9.1 under BeOS R5 x86 net server. | |
144 | I can't say anything with regard to \s-1PPC\s0. Since Perl 5.8.0 had been released | |
145 | for BeOS \s-1BONE\s0, I suspect, there is a good chance, that it still compiles on | |
146 | a \s-1BONE\s0 system. The only change I've made, that affects \s-1BONE\s0 systems is the | |
147 | recognition of whether it is a \s-1BONE\s0 system or not in \f(CW\*(C`hints/beos.sh\*(C'\fR. Now | |
148 | network socket support should remain enabled on \s-1BONE\s0 systems. This might | |
149 | as well break the build, though. | |
150 | .PP | |
151 | As more recent versions of autoconf require \fIflock()\fR support, I wrote a \fIflock()\fR | |
152 | emulation (flock_server) and released it on BeBits: | |
153 | .PP | |
154 | .Vb 1 | |
155 | \& http://www.bebits.com/app/4030 | |
156 | .Ve | |
157 | .PP | |
158 | If you want to build a Perl with \fIflock()\fR support, you have to install this | |
159 | package first. | |
160 | .Sh "Configure" | |
161 | .IX Subsection "Configure" | |
162 | With \fIflock()\fR support: | |
163 | .PP | |
164 | .Vb 2 | |
165 | \& CFLAGS=-I/path/to/flock/server/headers ./configure.gnu \e | |
166 | \& --prefix=/boot/home/config | |
167 | .Ve | |
168 | .PP | |
169 | Replace \f(CW\*(C`/path/to/flock/server/headers\*(C'\fR with the path to the directory | |
170 | containing the \f(CW\*(C`flock.h\*(C'\fR header. | |
171 | .PP | |
172 | Without \fIflock()\fR support: | |
173 | .PP | |
174 | .Vb 1 | |
175 | \& ./configure.gnu --prefix=/boot/home/config | |
176 | .Ve | |
177 | .Sh "Build" | |
178 | .IX Subsection "Build" | |
179 | With \fIflock()\fR support: | |
180 | .PP | |
181 | .Vb 1 | |
182 | \& make LDLOADLIBS="-lnet -lflock" | |
183 | .Ve | |
184 | .PP | |
185 | Without \fIflock()\fR support: | |
186 | .PP | |
187 | .Vb 1 | |
188 | \& make LDLOADLIBS="-lnet" | |
189 | .Ve | |
190 | .PP | |
191 | \&\f(CW\*(C`\-lnet\*(C'\fR is needed on net server systems only and if the compiler doesn't | |
192 | add it automatically (Be's R5 gcc does, Oliver Tappe's gcc 2.95.3 does not). | |
193 | .Sh "Install" | |
194 | .IX Subsection "Install" | |
195 | Install all perl files: | |
196 | .PP | |
197 | .Vb 1 | |
198 | \& make install | |
199 | .Ve | |
200 | .PP | |
201 | Create a symlink for libperl: | |
202 | .PP | |
203 | .Vb 1 | |
204 | \& cd ~/config/lib; ln -s perl5/5.8.6/BePC-beos/CORE/libperl.so . | |
205 | .Ve | |
206 | .PP | |
207 | Replace \f(CW5.8.6\fR with your respective version of Perl. | |
208 | .SH "KNOWN PROBLEMS" | |
209 | .IX Header "KNOWN PROBLEMS" | |
210 | .IP "\(bu" 4 | |
211 | Network socket support is disabled for BeOS R5 net server. I didn't dare yet | |
212 | to try enabling it and see what problems occur. | |
213 | .IP "\(bu" 4 | |
214 | The \s-1LFS\s0 (large file support) tests (\f(CW\*(C`t/op/lfs\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`xt/Fcntl/t/syslfs\*(C'\fR) are | |
215 | disabled as seeking beyond 2 \s-1GB\s0 is broken according to jhi@iki.fi who was the | |
216 | last one checking the BeOS port and updating this file before me. Haven't | |
217 | checked this myself. | |
218 | .IP "\(bu" 4 | |
219 | The \f(CW\*(C`t/io/fflush\*(C'\fR test fails at #6. As far as I can tell, this is caused by | |
220 | a bug in the BeOS pipes implementation that occurs when starting other child | |
221 | processes. In the particular test case a \f(CW\*(C`system("perl \-e 0")\*(C'\fR flushes the | |
222 | stdout pipe of another child process. | |
223 | .IP "\(bu" 4 | |
224 | The \f(CW\*(C`ext/POSIX/t/waitpid\*(C'\fR test fails at #1. After all child processes are | |
225 | gone BeOS' waitpid(\-1,...) returns 0 instead of \-1 (as it should). No idea | |
226 | how to fix this. | |
