5Summary of user-visible Configure and build changes since 5.001:
6
7Yet more enhancements and fixes have been made to the Configure and
8build process for perl. Most of these will not be visible to the
9ordinary user--they just make the process more robust and likely to
10work on a wider range of platforms.
11
37120919 12This is a brief summary of the most important changes. A more
13detailed description is given below.
16d20bd9 14
4633a7c4 15 Slightly changed installation directories. See INSTALL.
16
16d20bd9 17 Include 5.000 - 5.001 upgrage notes :-) (see below). You might
18 want to read through them as well as these notes.
19
20 Install documentation for perl modules and pod2* translators. You can
21 now view perl module documentation with either your system's man(1)
22 program or with the supplied perldoc script.
23
16d20bd9 24 Many hint file updates.
25
8e07c86e 26 Improve and simplify detection of local libraries and header files.
27
28 Expand documentation of installation process in new INSTALL file.
29
4633a7c4 30 Try to reduce Unixisms (such as SH file extraction) to enhance
31 portability to other platforms. There's still a long way to go.
32
4aa0a1f7 33Upgrade Traps and Pitfalls:
34
35Since a lot has changed in the build process, you are probably best off
36starting with a fresh copy of the perl5.002 sources. In particular,
37your 5.000 or 5.001 config.sh will contain several variables that are no
38longer needed. Further, improvements in the Configure tests may mean
39that some of the answers will be different than they were in previous
40versions, and which answer to keep can be difficult to sort out.
41Therefore, you are probably better off ignoring your old config.sh, as
42in the following:
43
37120919 44 make -k distclean # (if you've built perl before)
8e07c86e 45 rm -f config.sh # (in case distclean mysteriously fails)
4aa0a1f7 46 sh Configure [whatever options you like]
47 make depend
48 make
49 make test
16d20bd9 50
37120919 51This, and much more, is described in the new INSTALL file.
52
53Here are the detailed changes from 5.001m to 5.002beta1:

95Index: Configure
96
97Upgraded to metaconfig PL60 (despite the erroneous metaconfig message.
98
99Layed some groundwork for support on non Unix systems, such as OS/2.
100Define things such as .o vs. .obj, '' vs. .exe, .a vs. .lib, etc.
101
102Include I_LOCALE testing.
103
104Include checks for new library set-up. I don't want to ever have to
105change this again. It's documented more clearly in INSTALL.
106
107Figure out correct string for $startperl (usually
108#!/usr/local/bin/perl).
109
110Improve signal detection even more. Once again, the signal number
111corresponding to sig_name[n] is n (up to NSIG-1). Gaps in signal
112numbers (e.g. on Solaris) are allowed and are filled with
113innocuous names such as NUM37 NUM38, etc., where the 37 or 38
114represents the actual signal number.

128the libraries themselves.

137
138Index: MANIFEST
139
140In an attempt to make the distribution slightly less Unix specific,
141I've changed .SH extraction to a .PL extraction where possible.
142That way folks on systems without a shell can still get the
143auxilliarly files such as find2perl (assuming they *can* build
144perl).
145
146The emacs/ directory was hopelessly out of date. I don't use emacs,
147but included a current cperl-mode.el

905Version 5.001

907
908Summary of user-visible Configure and build changes since 5.000:
909
910A large number of enhancements and fixes have been made to the
911Configure and build process for perl. Most of these will not be
912visible to the ordinary user--they just make the process more robust
913and likely to work on a wider range of platforms.
914
915This is a brief summary of the most important changes.
916
917Configure changes:
918 New and improved Configure command line options. -O now overrides
919 config.sh settings. -D options can now include spaces, if
920 protected in quotes (e.g. -Dcc='gcc -posix'). Type Configure -h
921 for a full listing of options.
922
923 Users can now turn on the defaults for the rest of Configure by
924 typing &-d at any Configure prompt. This is useful if you just
925 want to change one or two answers.
926
927 Support on (non-Sun) SVR4 systems for dynamic loading and shared
928 libperl.so
929
930 Numerous new or updated hints files: PowerUnix, aix 3.x and 4.x,
931 bsd386, convexos, cxux, DEC OSF, Esix, FreeBSD, HP-UX (especially if
932 you're using the bundled compiler), irix 4.x, 5.x, and 6.x, Linux,
933 MPE/IX, NeXT 3.0 and 3.2, Solaris, SVR4, Ultrix (especially 4.3),
934 and Unicos.
935
936 Improved generation of a suitable name for architecture-dependent
937 library files. NOTE: This may differ from the name you had from
938 your 5.000 installation.
939
940 Many many portability enhancements and fixes.
941
942Build process:
943
944 The process for building extensions has been extensively revised. See
945 lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm for complete documentation. Basically, with
946 just a simple Makefile.PL (such as the one generated by h2xs), you can
947 now build an extension from anywhere on your system, even if you've
948 deleted the perl source.
949
950 Improved build/install documentation in README. A little.
951
952 Improved dynamic loading on HP-UX. Support dynamic loading on SVR4.
953
954 Installperl now gets the version correct :-)
955
956 Installperl now saves the perl *.h files and the libperl.a library
957 in your architecture-dependent library directory so that you can
958 later build extensions without having to re-install the perl
959 source.
960
961 Include x2p/a2p.c generated by byacc from x2p/a2p.y.
962
963 Many many portability fixes.
964
965Upgrade Traps and Pitfalls:
966
967Since a lot has changed in the build process, you are probably best
968off starting with a fresh copy of the perl5.000 sources. In particular,
969your 5.000 config.sh will contain several variables that are no longer
970needed. Further, improvements in the Configure tests may mean that some
971of the answers will be different than they were in 5.000, and which answer
972to keep can be difficult to sort out. Therefore, you are probably
973better off ignoring your old config.sh.
974
975One big change is that architecture-dependent library files may well
976be stored in a different location in 5.001. This is because the default
977name used in the 5.000 release was not sufficiently specific to
978distinguish incompatible architectures. The relevant variable is $archlib
979in config.sh. Before you run ``make install'' you should rename your old
980$archlib. Thus if your $archlib for version 5.000 was
981/usr/local/lib/perl5/foo, and your new value for 5.001 is
982/usr/local/lib/perl5/foo-bar, then you should
983 mv /usr/local/lib/perl5/foo /usr/local/lib/perl5/foo-bar
984before running ``make install''.
985
986Alternatively, you could override Configure's default guess for $archlib
987either by sh Configure -Darchname='foo', or by answering 'foo' when
988prompted by Configure for the architecture name.
989
990The following is the sequence of steps to upgrade to 5.001:
991 cd perl5.000
992 make realclean
993 rm config.sh
994 <apply 5.001 patch>
995 sh Configure
996 make depend
997 make
998 make test
999 <mv old architecture-dependent library to new location, if needed>
1000 make install
