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 | |
8f8d40ab |
9 | For 5.8.4: |
10 | Updated "config.alpha.def", "config.ga.def", "build.cm" and |
11 | "perl.bind" to build this version of perl. |
12 | |
050dfae0 |
13 | For 5.8.0: |
14 | Updated "config.alpha.def", "config.ga.def", "build.cm", and |
15 | "install_perl.cm" to use directory naming conventions that |
16 | are closer to the perl standard directory names. |
17 | |
c71882ca |
18 | Added "compile_full_perl.cm", "configure_full_perl.sh" and |
19 | "make_full_perl.sh" for building full perl. |
20 | |
050dfae0 |
21 | For the first time, full perl can now be built on VOS using |
22 | its native Configure script and makefiles. See README.vos |
23 | for details. |
24 | |
0d6ca59a |
25 | For 5.7.1: |
26 | Updated "build.cm" and "compile_perl.cm" to build perl using |
27 | either cc or gcc. |
28 | Brought "config.alpha.def" and "config.ga.def" up-to-date. |
29 | Updated "configure_perl.cm" to rebuild the header file even if |
30 | the date of the definitions file is equal to the date of |
31 | the header, because the perl distribution resets all dates |
32 | to the same value. |
33 | Update "Changes". |
4849278d |
34 | Update "perl.bind". |
0d6ca59a |
35 | |
5b8c1387 |
36 | For 5.7: |
37 | Updated "build.cm" to build perl using either the alpha or GA |
38 | version of POSIX. |
39 | Updated "Changes". |
40 | Updated "compile_perl.cm" to use either the alpha or GA |
41 | version of POSIX. |
42 | Split "config.def" into config.alpha.def and config.ga.def; |
43 | one for each version. Use the configure_perl.cm macro |
44 | to select the appropriate version. |
45 | Split "config.h" into config.alpha.h and config.ga.h. Use the |
46 | configure_perl.cm macro to select the appropriate version. |
47 | Updated "config.pl". It now diagnoses undefined (missing) and |
48 | unused substitution variables. When a new version of |
49 | Perl comes out, run "configure_perl.cm", add any missing |
50 | definitions to config.*.def, and remove any unused |
51 | definitions. |
52 | Removed "config_h.SH_orig". It is no longer needed. |
53 | Added "configure_perl.cm". It is used to configure perl so that |
54 | it can be built with either version of VOS POSIX.1 support. |
55 | Added "install_perl.cm" to install Perl into the appropriate |
56 | system directories. |
57 | Updated "perl.bind" to work with either the alpha or GA |
58 | version of POSIX. |
59 | Updated "vosish.h" to just use the standard "unixish.h" since |
60 | there are no changes needed at this time. |
61 | |
24e8e380 |
62 | After 5.005_63: |
63 | Supplied "config.pl" perl script that takes "config_h.SH_orig" |
64 | and "config.def" as input and produces "config.h.new". |
65 | With some luck, you will just need to edit "config.def" |
66 | to create a new port. |
67 | Updated "build.cm". |
68 | Updated "compile_perl.cm". |
69 | Added "config.def". |
70 | Updated "config.h". |
71 | Added "config.pl". |
72 | Updated "config_h.SH_orig". |
73 | Updated "perl.bind". |
74 | Updated "README.vos". |
75 | Updated "vos_dummies.c". |
76 | Updated "vosish.h". |
77 | |
495c5fdc |
78 | after 5.005_02: |
79 | Initial release. |
80 | Supplied "build.cm" command macro to build perl. |
81 | Supplied "Changes" to document the change history. |
82 | Supplied "compile_perl.cm" to launch processes to compile all |
83 | four versions of the Perl 5 binaries. |
84 | Supplied "config.h" to configure Perl 5 to VOS. Unfortunately, |
85 | since VOS does not have the configure tool, this file was |
86 | built by hand by editing "config_h.SH". |
24e8e380 |
87 | Supplied "config_h.SH_orig", which is the version of this file |
495c5fdc |
88 | that was current for version 5.005_02. Use this to discover |
89 | any subsequent changes to config_h.SH that must be |
90 | hand-copied into the real config.h. |
91 | Supplied "perl.bind" to control the VOS binder. |
92 | Supplied "README.vos" to describe the VOS port. |
93 | Supplied "test_vos_dummies.c" to test the VOS dummy functions. |
94 | Supplied "vos_dummies.c" to trap unimplemented POSIX functions. |
95 | Supplied "vosish.h" to configure Perl 5 to VOS. |
96 | |
