7 README.haiku - Perl version 5.10+ on Haiku
11 This file contains instructions how to build Perl for Haiku and lists
14 =head1 BUILD AND INSTALL
16 The build procedure is completely standard:
22 Make perl executable and create a symlink for libperl:
24 chmod a+x /boot/common/bin/perl
25 cd /boot/common/lib; ln -s perl5/5.11.2/BePC-haiku/CORE/libperl.so .
27 Replace C<5.11.2> with your respective version of Perl.
31 The following problems are encountered with Haiku revision 28311:
37 Perl cannot be compiled with threading support ATM.
41 The C<ext/Socket/t/socketpair.t> test fails. More precisely: the subtests
42 using datagram sockets fail. Unix datagram sockets aren't implemented in
47 A subtest of the C<ext/Sys/Syslog/t/syslog.t> test fails. This is due to Haiku
48 not implementing C</dev/log> support yet.
52 The tests C<lib/Net/Ping/t/450_service.t> and C<lib/Net/Ping/t/510_ping_udp.t>
53 fail. This is due to bugs in Haiku's network stack implementation.
59 For Haiku specific problems contact the HaikuPorts developers:

62 The initial Haiku port was done by Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>.
