1 This file documents the changes made to port Perl to the Stratus
5 Updated "build.cm" and "compile_perl.cm" to build perl using
7 Brought "config.alpha.def" and "config.ga.def" up-to-date.
8 Updated "configure_perl.cm" to rebuild the header file even if
9 the date of the definitions file is equal to the date of
10 the header, because the perl distribution resets all dates
16 Updated "build.cm" to build perl using either the alpha or GA
19 Updated "compile_perl.cm" to use either the alpha or GA
21 Split "config.def" into config.alpha.def and config.ga.def;
22 one for each version. Use the configure_perl.cm macro
23 to select the appropriate version.
24 Split "config.h" into config.alpha.h and config.ga.h. Use the
25 configure_perl.cm macro to select the appropriate version.
26 Updated "config.pl". It now diagnoses undefined (missing) and
27 unused substitution variables. When a new version of
28 Perl comes out, run "configure_perl.cm", add any missing
29 definitions to config.*.def, and remove any unused
31 Removed "config_h.SH_orig". It is no longer needed.
32 Added "configure_perl.cm". It is used to configure perl so that
33 it can be built with either version of VOS POSIX.1 support.
34 Added "install_perl.cm" to install Perl into the appropriate
36 Updated "perl.bind" to work with either the alpha or GA
38 Updated "vosish.h" to just use the standard "unixish.h" since
39 there are no changes needed at this time.
42 Supplied "config.pl" perl script that takes "config_h.SH_orig"
43 and "config.def" as input and produces "config.h.new".
44 With some luck, you will just need to edit "config.def"
47 Updated "compile_perl.cm".
51 Updated "config_h.SH_orig".
54 Updated "vos_dummies.c".
59 Supplied "build.cm" command macro to build perl.
60 Supplied "Changes" to document the change history.
61 Supplied "compile_perl.cm" to launch processes to compile all
62 four versions of the Perl 5 binaries.
63 Supplied "config.h" to configure Perl 5 to VOS. Unfortunately,
64 since VOS does not have the configure tool, this file was
65 built by hand by editing "config_h.SH".
66 Supplied "config_h.SH_orig", which is the version of this file
67 that was current for version 5.005_02. Use this to discover
68 any subsequent changes to config_h.SH that must be
69 hand-copied into the real config.h.
70 Supplied "perl.bind" to control the VOS binder.
71 Supplied "README.vos" to describe the VOS port.
72 Supplied "test_vos_dummies.c" to test the VOS dummy functions.
73 Supplied "vos_dummies.c" to trap unimplemented POSIX functions.
74 Supplied "vosish.h" to configure Perl 5 to VOS.
