Subject: Compiling perl5.004 on NEWS-OS 4.x
X-Git-Url: http://git.shadowcat.co.uk/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4e81affe051125c1f0c81f7d518efaa52584a56d;p=p5sagit%2Fp5-mst-13.2.git

Compiling perl5.004 on NEWS-OS 4.x

Here (attached below) is a patch for compiling perl5 on NEWS-OS 4.x. It
contains a new hints file for NEWS-OS 4.x and some modification to
Configure.  I've tested on perl5.003, perl5.003_99 and perl5.004.

Background: Current release of NEWS-OS is version 6.1.x and it is
SystemV variant. However, NEWS-OS 4.x is 4.3BSD-variant and commonly
used in Japan. So, I named 'newsos' for newer release, and 'newsos4'
for older release. Unfortunately, NEWS-OS 4.x has no uname(1).
