NAME

6       perllinux - Perl version 5 on Linux systems
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This document describes various features of Linux that will affect how
10       Perl version 5 (hereafter just Perl) is compiled and/or runs.
11
12   Experimental Support for Sun Studio Compilers for Linux OS
13       Sun Microsystems has released a port of their Sun Studio compilers for
14       Linux.  As of November 2005, only an alpha version has been released.
15       Until a release of these compilers is made, support for compiling Perl
16       with these compiler experimental.
17
18       Also, some special instructions for building Perl with Sun Studio on
19       Linux.  Following the normal "Configure", you have to run make as
20       follows:
21
22           LDLOADLIBS=-lc make
23
24       "LDLOADLIBS" is an environment variable used by the linker to link
25       modules "/ext" modules to glibc.  Currently, that environment variable
26       is not getting populated by a combination of "Config" entries and
27       "ExtUtil::MakeMaker".  While there may be a bug somewhere in Perl's
28       configuration or "ExtUtil::MakeMaker" causing the problem, the most
29       likely cause is an incomplete understanding of Sun Studio by this
30       author.  Further investigation is needed to get this working better.
