1 | This file documents the changes made to port Perl to the Stratus |
2 | VOS operating system. |
3 | |
5b8c1387 |
4 | For 5.7: |
5 | Updated "build.cm" to build perl using either the alpha or GA |
6 | version of POSIX. |
7 | Updated "Changes". |
8 | Updated "compile_perl.cm" to use either the alpha or GA |
9 | version of POSIX. |
10 | Split "config.def" into config.alpha.def and config.ga.def; |
11 | one for each version. Use the configure_perl.cm macro |
12 | to select the appropriate version. |
13 | Split "config.h" into config.alpha.h and config.ga.h. Use the |
14 | configure_perl.cm macro to select the appropriate version. |
15 | Updated "config.pl". It now diagnoses undefined (missing) and |
16 | unused substitution variables. When a new version of |
17 | Perl comes out, run "configure_perl.cm", add any missing |
18 | definitions to config.*.def, and remove any unused |
19 | definitions. |
20 | Removed "config_h.SH_orig". It is no longer needed. |
21 | Added "configure_perl.cm". It is used to configure perl so that |
22 | it can be built with either version of VOS POSIX.1 support. |
23 | Added "install_perl.cm" to install Perl into the appropriate |
24 | system directories. |
25 | Updated "perl.bind" to work with either the alpha or GA |
26 | version of POSIX. |
27 | Updated "vosish.h" to just use the standard "unixish.h" since |
28 | there are no changes needed at this time. |
29 | |
24e8e380 |
30 | After 5.005_63: |
31 | Supplied "config.pl" perl script that takes "config_h.SH_orig" |
32 | and "config.def" as input and produces "config.h.new". |
33 | With some luck, you will just need to edit "config.def" |
34 | to create a new port. |
35 | Updated "build.cm". |
36 | Updated "compile_perl.cm". |
37 | Added "config.def". |
38 | Updated "config.h". |
39 | Added "config.pl". |
40 | Updated "config_h.SH_orig". |
41 | Updated "perl.bind". |
42 | Updated "README.vos". |
43 | Updated "vos_dummies.c". |
44 | Updated "vosish.h". |
45 | |

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