9 This file contains instructions how to build Perl for Haiku and lists
10 known problems.
11
13 The build procedure is completely standard:
14
15 ./Configure -de
16 make
17 make install
18
19 Make perl executable and create a symlink for libperl:
20
21 chmod a+x /boot/common/bin/perl
22 cd /boot/common/lib; ln -s perl5/5.12.4/BePC-haiku/CORE/libperl.so .
23
24 Replace 5.12.4 with your respective version of Perl.

27 The following problems are encountered with Haiku revision 28311:
28
29 · Perl cannot be compiled with threading support ATM.
30
31 · The "ext/Socket/t/socketpair.t" test fails. More precisely: the
32 subtests using datagram sockets fail. Unix datagram sockets aren't
33 implemented in Haiku yet.
34
35 · A subtest of the "ext/Sys/Syslog/t/syslog.t" test fails. This is
36 due to Haiku not implementing "/dev/log" support yet.
37
38 · The tests "lib/Net/Ping/t/450_service.t" and
39 "lib/Net/Ping/t/510_ping_udp.t" fail. This is due to bugs in
40 Haiku's network stack implementation.
41
43 For Haiku specific problems contact the HaikuPorts developers:
44 http://ports.haiku-files.org/

46 The initial Haiku port was done by Ingo Weinhold
47 <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>.
