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