1 This file documents the changes made to port Perl to the Stratus
5 Added support for the syslog family of functions to vos.c.
6 This allows the source code to be built on versions of VOS
7 that do not support the syslog functions.
10 Removed support for building (mini) perl on VOS using
11 custom VOS command macros. Henceforth, perl must be built
12 using the native Configure script.
15 Updated "config.alpha.def", "config.ga.def", "build.cm" and
16 "perl.bind" to build this version of perl.
19 Updated "config.alpha.def", "config.ga.def", "build.cm", and
20 "install_perl.cm" to use directory naming conventions that
21 are closer to the perl standard directory names.
23 Added "compile_full_perl.cm", "configure_full_perl.sh" and
24 "make_full_perl.sh" for building full perl.
26 For the first time, full perl can now be built on VOS using
27 its native Configure script and makefiles. See README.vos
31 Updated "build.cm" and "compile_perl.cm" to build perl using
33 Brought "config.alpha.def" and "config.ga.def" up-to-date.
34 Updated "configure_perl.cm" to rebuild the header file even if
35 the date of the definitions file is equal to the date of
36 the header, because the perl distribution resets all dates
42 Updated "build.cm" to build perl using either the alpha or GA
45 Updated "compile_perl.cm" to use either the alpha or GA
47 Split "config.def" into config.alpha.def and config.ga.def;
48 one for each version. Use the configure_perl.cm macro
49 to select the appropriate version.
50 Split "config.h" into config.alpha.h and config.ga.h. Use the
51 configure_perl.cm macro to select the appropriate version.
52 Updated "config.pl". It now diagnoses undefined (missing) and
53 unused substitution variables. When a new version of
54 Perl comes out, run "configure_perl.cm", add any missing
55 definitions to config.*.def, and remove any unused
57 Removed "config_h.SH_orig". It is no longer needed.
58 Added "configure_perl.cm". It is used to configure perl so that
59 it can be built with either version of VOS POSIX.1 support.
60 Added "install_perl.cm" to install Perl into the appropriate
62 Updated "perl.bind" to work with either the alpha or GA
64 Updated "vosish.h" to just use the standard "unixish.h" since
65 there are no changes needed at this time.
68 Supplied "config.pl" perl script that takes "config_h.SH_orig"
69 and "config.def" as input and produces "config.h.new".
70 With some luck, you will just need to edit "config.def"
73 Updated "compile_perl.cm".
77 Updated "config_h.SH_orig".
80 Updated "vos_dummies.c".
85 Supplied "build.cm" command macro to build perl.
86 Supplied "Changes" to document the change history.
87 Supplied "compile_perl.cm" to launch processes to compile all
88 four versions of the Perl 5 binaries.
89 Supplied "config.h" to configure Perl 5 to VOS. Unfortunately,
90 since VOS does not have the configure tool, this file was
91 built by hand by editing "config_h.SH".
92 Supplied "config_h.SH_orig", which is the version of this file
93 that was current for version 5.005_02. Use this to discover
94 any subsequent changes to config_h.SH that must be
95 hand-copied into the real config.h.
96 Supplied "perl.bind" to control the VOS binder.
97 Supplied "README.vos" to describe the VOS port.
98 Supplied "test_vos_dummies.c" to test the VOS dummy functions.
99 Supplied "vos_dummies.c" to trap unimplemented POSIX functions.
100 Supplied "vosish.h" to configure Perl 5 to VOS.
