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