495c5fdc 1This file documents the changes made to port Perl to the Stratus
2VOS operating system.
3
0d6ca59a 4For 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".
13
5b8c1387 14For 5.7:
15 Updated "build.cm" to build perl using either the alpha or GA
16 version of POSIX.
17 Updated "Changes".
18 Updated "compile_perl.cm" to use either the alpha or GA
19 version of POSIX.
20 Split "config.def" into config.alpha.def and config.ga.def;
21 one for each version. Use the configure_perl.cm macro
22 to select the appropriate version.
23 Split "config.h" into config.alpha.h and config.ga.h. Use the
24 configure_perl.cm macro to select the appropriate version.
25 Updated "config.pl". It now diagnoses undefined (missing) and
26 unused substitution variables. When a new version of
27 Perl comes out, run "configure_perl.cm", add any missing
28 definitions to config.*.def, and remove any unused
29 definitions.
30 Removed "config_h.SH_orig". It is no longer needed.
31 Added "configure_perl.cm". It is used to configure perl so that
32 it can be built with either version of VOS POSIX.1 support.
33 Added "install_perl.cm" to install Perl into the appropriate
34 system directories.
35 Updated "perl.bind" to work with either the alpha or GA
36 version of POSIX.
37 Updated "vosish.h" to just use the standard "unixish.h" since
38 there are no changes needed at this time.
39
24e8e380 40After 5.005_63:
41 Supplied "config.pl" perl script that takes "config_h.SH_orig"
42 and "config.def" as input and produces "config.h.new".
43 With some luck, you will just need to edit "config.def"
44 to create a new port.
45 Updated "build.cm".
46 Updated "compile_perl.cm".
47 Added "config.def".
48 Updated "config.h".
49 Added "config.pl".
50 Updated "config_h.SH_orig".
51 Updated "perl.bind".
52 Updated "README.vos".
53 Updated "vos_dummies.c".
54 Updated "vosish.h".
55
495c5fdc 56after 5.005_02:
57 Initial release.
58 Supplied "build.cm" command macro to build perl.
59 Supplied "Changes" to document the change history.
60 Supplied "compile_perl.cm" to launch processes to compile all
61 four versions of the Perl 5 binaries.
62 Supplied "config.h" to configure Perl 5 to VOS. Unfortunately,
63 since VOS does not have the configure tool, this file was
64 built by hand by editing "config_h.SH".
24e8e380 65 Supplied "config_h.SH_orig", which is the version of this file
495c5fdc 66 that was current for version 5.005_02. Use this to discover
67 any subsequent changes to config_h.SH that must be
68 hand-copied into the real config.h.
69 Supplied "perl.bind" to control the VOS binder.
70 Supplied "README.vos" to describe the VOS port.
71 Supplied "test_vos_dummies.c" to test the VOS dummy functions.
72 Supplied "vos_dummies.c" to trap unimplemented POSIX functions.
73 Supplied "vosish.h" to configure Perl 5 to VOS.
