1 | This file documents the changes made to port Perl to the Stratus |
2 | VOS operating system. |
3 | |
3fd80bd6 |
4 | For 5.9.0: |
5 | Removed support for building (mini) perl on VOS using |
6 | custom VOS command macros. Henceforth, perl must be built |
7 | using the native Configure script. |
8 | |
050dfae0 |
9 | For 5.8.0: |
10 | Updated "config.alpha.def", "config.ga.def", "build.cm", and |
11 | "install_perl.cm" to use directory naming conventions that |
12 | are closer to the perl standard directory names. |
13 | |
c71882ca |
14 | Added "compile_full_perl.cm", "configure_full_perl.sh" and |
15 | "make_full_perl.sh" for building full perl. |
16 | |
050dfae0 |
17 | For the first time, full perl can now be built on VOS using |
18 | its native Configure script and makefiles. See README.vos |
19 | for details. |
20 | |
0d6ca59a |
21 | For 5.7.1: |
22 | Updated "build.cm" and "compile_perl.cm" to build perl using |
23 | either cc or gcc. |
24 | Brought "config.alpha.def" and "config.ga.def" up-to-date. |
25 | Updated "configure_perl.cm" to rebuild the header file even if |
26 | the date of the definitions file is equal to the date of |
27 | the header, because the perl distribution resets all dates |
28 | to the same value. |
29 | Update "Changes". |
4849278d |
30 | Update "perl.bind". |
0d6ca59a |
31 | |
5b8c1387 |
32 | For 5.7: |
33 | Updated "build.cm" to build perl using either the alpha or GA |
34 | version of POSIX. |
35 | Updated "Changes". |
36 | Updated "compile_perl.cm" to use either the alpha or GA |
37 | version of POSIX. |
38 | Split "config.def" into config.alpha.def and config.ga.def; |
39 | one for each version. Use the configure_perl.cm macro |
40 | to select the appropriate version. |
41 | Split "config.h" into config.alpha.h and config.ga.h. Use the |
42 | configure_perl.cm macro to select the appropriate version. |
43 | Updated "config.pl". It now diagnoses undefined (missing) and |
44 | unused substitution variables. When a new version of |
45 | Perl comes out, run "configure_perl.cm", add any missing |
46 | definitions to config.*.def, and remove any unused |
47 | definitions. |
48 | Removed "config_h.SH_orig". It is no longer needed. |
49 | Added "configure_perl.cm". It is used to configure perl so that |
50 | it can be built with either version of VOS POSIX.1 support. |
51 | Added "install_perl.cm" to install Perl into the appropriate |
52 | system directories. |
53 | Updated "perl.bind" to work with either the alpha or GA |
54 | version of POSIX. |
55 | Updated "vosish.h" to just use the standard "unixish.h" since |
56 | there are no changes needed at this time. |
57 | |
24e8e380 |
58 | After 5.005_63: |
59 | Supplied "config.pl" perl script that takes "config_h.SH_orig" |
60 | and "config.def" as input and produces "config.h.new". |
61 | With some luck, you will just need to edit "config.def" |
62 | to create a new port. |
63 | Updated "build.cm". |
64 | Updated "compile_perl.cm". |
65 | Added "config.def". |
66 | Updated "config.h". |
67 | Added "config.pl". |
68 | Updated "config_h.SH_orig". |
69 | Updated "perl.bind". |
70 | Updated "README.vos". |
71 | Updated "vos_dummies.c". |
72 | Updated "vosish.h". |
73 | |
495c5fdc |
74 | after 5.005_02: |
75 | Initial release. |
76 | Supplied "build.cm" command macro to build perl. |
77 | Supplied "Changes" to document the change history. |
78 | Supplied "compile_perl.cm" to launch processes to compile all |
79 | four versions of the Perl 5 binaries. |
80 | Supplied "config.h" to configure Perl 5 to VOS. Unfortunately, |
81 | since VOS does not have the configure tool, this file was |
82 | built by hand by editing "config_h.SH". |
24e8e380 |
83 | Supplied "config_h.SH_orig", which is the version of this file |
495c5fdc |
84 | that was current for version 5.005_02. Use this to discover |
85 | any subsequent changes to config_h.SH that must be |
86 | hand-copied into the real config.h. |
87 | Supplied "perl.bind" to control the VOS binder. |
88 | Supplied "README.vos" to describe the VOS port. |
89 | Supplied "test_vos_dummies.c" to test the VOS dummy functions. |
90 | Supplied "vos_dummies.c" to trap unimplemented POSIX functions. |
91 | Supplied "vosish.h" to configure Perl 5 to VOS. |
