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