15 | To compile perl under BeOS R4 x86: |
| c4f23d77 |
16 | |
| a83b6f46 |
17 | ./Configure -d |
| c4f23d77 |
18 | |
| a83b6f46 |
19 | and hit ^C when it asks you if you want to make changes to config.sh; |
| 46193409 |
20 | edit config.sh and do the following: |
| 21 | change d_socket='define' to ='undef'; |
| 22 | remove SDBM, Errno, and Socket from dynamic_ext= and nonxs_ext=; |
| 46193409 |
23 | add '#define bool short' to x2p/a2p.h; |
| c4f23d77 |
24 | |
| a83b6f46 |
25 | ../Configure -S; make; make install |
| 26 | |
| 27 | cd ~/config/lib; ln -s 5.00502/BeOS-BePC/CORE/libperl.so . |

| 37 | Dynamic loading finally works! Yay! This means you can compile your |
| 38 | own modules into perl. However, Sockets and Errno still don't work. |
| 46193409 |
39 | (Hopefully, sockets will at least work by R5, if not sooner.) |

| 43 | I have not tested this. I rather severely doubt that dynamic loading |
| 44 | will work. (My BeBox is in pieces right now, following a nasty disk |
| 45 | crash.) You may have to disable dynamic loading to get the thing to |
| 46 | compile at all. (use `./Configure` without -d, and say 'no' to 'Build |
| 47 | a shared libperl.so'.) |
