1 This file documents the changes made to port Perl to the Stratus
5 Updated "config.alpha.def", "config.ga.def", "build.cm", and
6 "install_perl.cm" to use directory naming conventions that
7 are closer to the perl standard directory names.
9 For the first time, full perl can now be built on VOS using
10 its native Configure script and makefiles. See README.vos
14 Updated "build.cm" and "compile_perl.cm" to build perl using
16 Brought "config.alpha.def" and "config.ga.def" up-to-date.
17 Updated "configure_perl.cm" to rebuild the header file even if
18 the date of the definitions file is equal to the date of
19 the header, because the perl distribution resets all dates
25 Updated "build.cm" to build perl using either the alpha or GA
28 Updated "compile_perl.cm" to use either the alpha or GA
30 Split "config.def" into config.alpha.def and config.ga.def;
31 one for each version. Use the configure_perl.cm macro
32 to select the appropriate version.
33 Split "config.h" into config.alpha.h and config.ga.h. Use the
34 configure_perl.cm macro to select the appropriate version.
35 Updated "config.pl". It now diagnoses undefined (missing) and
36 unused substitution variables. When a new version of
37 Perl comes out, run "configure_perl.cm", add any missing
38 definitions to config.*.def, and remove any unused
40 Removed "config_h.SH_orig". It is no longer needed.
41 Added "configure_perl.cm". It is used to configure perl so that
42 it can be built with either version of VOS POSIX.1 support.
43 Added "install_perl.cm" to install Perl into the appropriate
45 Updated "perl.bind" to work with either the alpha or GA
47 Updated "vosish.h" to just use the standard "unixish.h" since
48 there are no changes needed at this time.
51 Supplied "config.pl" perl script that takes "config_h.SH_orig"
52 and "config.def" as input and produces "config.h.new".
53 With some luck, you will just need to edit "config.def"
56 Updated "compile_perl.cm".
60 Updated "config_h.SH_orig".
63 Updated "vos_dummies.c".
68 Supplied "build.cm" command macro to build perl.
69 Supplied "Changes" to document the change history.
70 Supplied "compile_perl.cm" to launch processes to compile all
71 four versions of the Perl 5 binaries.
72 Supplied "config.h" to configure Perl 5 to VOS. Unfortunately,
73 since VOS does not have the configure tool, this file was
74 built by hand by editing "config_h.SH".
75 Supplied "config_h.SH_orig", which is the version of this file
76 that was current for version 5.005_02. Use this to discover
77 any subsequent changes to config_h.SH that must be
78 hand-copied into the real config.h.
79 Supplied "perl.bind" to control the VOS binder.
80 Supplied "README.vos" to describe the VOS port.
81 Supplied "test_vos_dummies.c" to test the VOS dummy functions.
82 Supplied "vos_dummies.c" to trap unimplemented POSIX functions.
83 Supplied "vosish.h" to configure Perl 5 to VOS.
