7 perluts - Perl under UTS
11 This document can be read I<as is>: as F<README.uts>, or you
12 can read it after you build your package using "man perluts".
14 The purpose is to help you build Perl for UTS, which, if you
15 follow these instructions, should be easy, and result in
16 a solidly working installation.
20 Perl 5.7.2 (Developmental) or Perl 5.8.x (forthcoming) for UTS
22 =head1 BUILDING PERL ON UTS
24 NOTE: Some sites have redefined the way uname works, and if yours
25 does this, special steps must be taken so that Configure can
26 recognize your system as a UTS system. To see if you are in
27 this category, issue the command "uname -a". It should look
30 uts juno 4 4.4 9672 370
32 At any rate, the first field should be "uts". If this is not
33 the case; supposing it is, say telcoUTS, create a script, uts/uname
34 (i.e. uname, in the subdirectory "uts" of the main Perl source dir):
36 /usr/bin/uname "$@" | sed -e 's/^telcoUTS/uts/'
38 and when you execute Configure, do it as below, except for adding
39 PATH=uts:$PATH as a prefix. I.e. do:
41 PATH=uts:$PATH ./Configure ...
43 There is no need to do an interactive configure, just type
45 ./Configure -de [-Dusedevel] [-Doptimize=-g ] 2>&1 | tee Conf.out
47 "-Dusedevel" may be required to configure Perl 5.7.2 non-interactively.
48 Use -Doptimize=-g if you want to run Perl under sdb or gdb, OR
49 if you want to be able to use the -D command line flags to perl,
50 which are occasionally useful in debugging perl scripts.
52 In this and the following steps, the "2>&1 | tee XXX.out" records all
53 output from the process, which will be useful if anything unexpected
56 Then do the compilation with
58 make 2>&1 | tee make.out
62 make test 2>&1 | tee make-test.out
64 In the output, the only failures you should see should look like:
66 lib/Math/BigInt/t/bigfltpm.........Use of uninitialized value ...
68 lib/Math/BigInt/t/bigintc..........ok
69 lib/Math/BigInt/t/bigintpm.........FAILED at test 204
70 lib/Math/BigInt/t/mbimbf...........Use of uninitialized value ...
71 Illegal division by zero at ../lib/Math/BigInt/Calc.pm line 314.
73 lib/Math/Complex...................exp: OVERFLOW
75 lib/Math/Trig......................exp: OVERFLOW
77 lib/Memoize/t/array................ok
79 lib/Net/protoent...................ok
80 lib/Net/servent....................FAILED at test 0
82 This means that everything passes except for some problems in the
83 packages "Math::BigInt", "Math::Complex", and "Math::Trig".
84 The lib/Net/servent failure seems to be a bug in the test
85 program. To confirm this, from the main Perl source dir, do:
87 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd` ./perl -Ilib lib/Net/servent.t
