1 | This file documents the changes made to port Perl to the Stratus |
2 | VOS operating system. |
3 | |
0d6ca59a |
4 | For 5.7.1: |
5 | Updated "build.cm" and "compile_perl.cm" to build perl using |
6 | either cc or gcc. |
7 | Brought "config.alpha.def" and "config.ga.def" up-to-date. |
8 | Updated "configure_perl.cm" to rebuild the header file even if |
9 | the date of the definitions file is equal to the date of |
10 | the header, because the perl distribution resets all dates |
11 | to the same value. |
12 | Update "Changes". |
4849278d |
13 | Update "perl.bind". |

15 | For 5.7: |
16 | Updated "build.cm" to build perl using either the alpha or GA |
17 | version of POSIX. |
18 | Updated "Changes". |
19 | Updated "compile_perl.cm" to use either the alpha or GA |
20 | version of POSIX. |
21 | Split "config.def" into config.alpha.def and config.ga.def; |
22 | one for each version. Use the configure_perl.cm macro |
23 | to select the appropriate version. |
24 | Split "config.h" into config.alpha.h and config.ga.h. Use the |
25 | configure_perl.cm macro to select the appropriate version. |
26 | Updated "config.pl". It now diagnoses undefined (missing) and |
27 | unused substitution variables. When a new version of |
28 | Perl comes out, run "configure_perl.cm", add any missing |
29 | definitions to config.*.def, and remove any unused |
30 | definitions. |
31 | Removed "config_h.SH_orig". It is no longer needed. |
32 | Added "configure_perl.cm". It is used to configure perl so that |
33 | it can be built with either version of VOS POSIX.1 support. |
34 | Added "install_perl.cm" to install Perl into the appropriate |
35 | system directories. |
36 | Updated "perl.bind" to work with either the alpha or GA |
37 | version of POSIX. |
38 | Updated "vosish.h" to just use the standard "unixish.h" since |
39 | there are no changes needed at this time. |
40 | |
24e8e380 |
41 | After 5.005_63: |
42 | Supplied "config.pl" perl script that takes "config_h.SH_orig" |
43 | and "config.def" as input and produces "config.h.new". |
44 | With some luck, you will just need to edit "config.def" |
45 | to create a new port. |
46 | Updated "build.cm". |
47 | Updated "compile_perl.cm". |
48 | Added "config.def". |
49 | Updated "config.h". |
50 | Added "config.pl". |
51 | Updated "config_h.SH_orig". |
52 | Updated "perl.bind". |
53 | Updated "README.vos". |
54 | Updated "vos_dummies.c". |
55 | Updated "vosish.h". |
56 | |

57 | after 5.005_02: |
58 | Initial release. |
59 | Supplied "build.cm" command macro to build perl. |
60 | Supplied "Changes" to document the change history. |
61 | Supplied "compile_perl.cm" to launch processes to compile all |
62 | four versions of the Perl 5 binaries. |
63 | Supplied "config.h" to configure Perl 5 to VOS. Unfortunately, |
64 | since VOS does not have the configure tool, this file was |
65 | built by hand by editing "config_h.SH". |
24e8e380 |
66 | Supplied "config_h.SH_orig", which is the version of this file |
495c5fdc |
67 | that was current for version 5.005_02. Use this to discover |
68 | any subsequent changes to config_h.SH that must be |
69 | hand-copied into the real config.h. |
70 | Supplied "perl.bind" to control the VOS binder. |
71 | Supplied "README.vos" to describe the VOS port. |
72 | Supplied "test_vos_dummies.c" to test the VOS dummy functions. |
73 | Supplied "vos_dummies.c" to trap unimplemented POSIX functions. |
74 | Supplied "vosish.h" to configure Perl 5 to VOS. |
