Rebuilding this perl port requires GCC 2.2.2 with ixemul.library (Removing the
dependence on GCC/ixemul would be pretty non-trivial.), God only knows how
much RAM (probably a bare minimum of 4Mb without loading WB), a Hard Disk, and
an accelerated CPU. Well, actually the accelerater is IMHO, but if you
actually do try to rebuild perl on a 7MHz 68000 using GCC, I bet you'll end up
agreeing with me! The Makefile was created for use with Ben Eng's BMake, any
other reasonably full-featured make should be able to digest it, though.
As configured with the Makefile, you should be able to build perl using gcc
with no compilation errors (or even warnings). I've tried to preface most of
the amiga-specific changes with #define AMIGA's. There really aren't tons of
code changes. (The really hard part was getting it configured, etc and then
isolating the little changes that were necessary (in such a big program)).
