- =head1 NAME
-
- perluts - Perl under UTS
-
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- This document can be read I<as is>: as F<README.uts>, or you
- can read it after you build your package using "man perluts".
-
- The purpose is to help you build Perl for UTS, which, if you
- follow these instructions, should be easy, and result in
- a solidly working installation.
-
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- Perl 5.7.2 (Developmental) or Perl 5.8.x (forthcoming) for UTS
-
- =head1 BUILDING PERL ON UTS
-
- NOTE: Some sites have redefined the way uname works, and if yours
- does this, special steps must be taken so that Configure can
- recognize your system as a UTS system. To see if you are in
- this category, issue the command "uname -a". It should look
- something like:
-
- uts juno 4 4.4 9672 370
-
- At any rate, the first field should be "uts". If this is not
- the case; supposing it is, say telcoUTS, create a script, uts/uname
- (i.e. uname, in the subdirectory "uts" of the main Perl source dir):
- # uname
- /usr/bin/uname "$@" | sed -e 's/^telcoUTS/uts/'
-
- and when you execute Configure, do it as below, except for adding
- PATH=uts:$PATH as a prefix. I.e. do:
-
- PATH=uts:$PATH ./Configure ...
-
- There is no need to do an interactive configure, just type
-
- ./Configure -de [-Dusedevel] [-Doptimize=-g ] 2>&1 | tee Conf.out
-
- "-Dusedevel" may be required to configure Perl 5.7.2 non-interactively.
- Use -Doptimize=-g if you want to run Perl under sdb or gdb, OR
- if you want to be able to use the -D command line flags to perl,
- which are occasionally useful in debugging perl scripts.
-
- In this and the following steps, the "2>&1 | tee XXX.out" records all
- output from the process, which will be useful if anything unexpected
- goes wrong.
-
- Then do the compilation with
-
- make 2>&1 | tee make.out
-
- Finally, test using
-
- make test 2>&1 | tee make-test.out
-
- In the output, the only failures you should see should look like:
-
- lib/Math/BigInt/t/bigfltpm.........Use of uninitialized value ...
- FAILED at test 57
- lib/Math/BigInt/t/bigintc..........ok
- lib/Math/BigInt/t/bigintpm.........FAILED at test 204
- lib/Math/BigInt/t/mbimbf...........Use of uninitialized value ...
- Illegal division by zero at ../lib/Math/BigInt/Calc.pm line 314.
- FAILED at test 71
- lib/Math/Complex...................exp: OVERFLOW
- FAILED at test 250
- lib/Math/Trig......................exp: OVERFLOW
- ok
- lib/Memoize/t/array................ok
- ...
- lib/Net/protoent...................ok
- lib/Net/servent....................FAILED at test 0
-
- This means that everything passes except for some problems in the
- packages "Math::BigInt", "Math::Complex", and "Math::Trig".
- The lib/Net/servent failure seems to be a bug in the test
- program. To confirm this, from the main Perl source dir, do:
-
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd` ./perl -Ilib lib/Net/servent.t
-
- and it should output
-
- 1..3
- ok 1
- ok 2
- ok 3
-
