BUILDING PERL ON DG/UX

23   Non-threaded Perl on DG/UX
24       Just run ./Configure script from the top directory.  Then give "make"
25       to compile.
26
27   Threaded Perl on DG/UX
28       If you are using as compiler GCC-2.95.x rev(DG/UX) an easy solution for
29       configuring perl in your DG/UX machine is to run the command:
30
31       ./Configure -Dusethreads -Duseithreads -Dusedevel -des
32
33       This will automatically accept all the defaults and in particular
34       /usr/local/ as installation directory.  Note that GCC-2.95.x rev(DG/UX)
35       knows the switch -pthread which allows it to link correctly DG/UX's
36       -lthread library.
37
38       If you want to change the installation directory or have a standard
39       DG/UX with C compiler GCC-2.7.2.x then you have no choice than to do an
40       interactive build by issuing the command:
41
42       ./Configure -Dusethreads -Duseithreads
43
44       In particular with GCC-2.7.2.x accept all the defaults and *watch* out
45       for the message:
46
47           Any additional ld flags (NOT including libraries)? [ -pthread]
48
49       Instead of -pthread put here -lthread. CGCC-2.7.2.x that comes with the
50       DG/UX OS does NOT know the -pthread switch. So your build will fail if
51       you choose the defaults.  After configuration is done correctly give
52       "make" to compile.
53
54   Testing Perl on DG/UX
55       Issuing a "make test" will run all the tests.  If the test
56       lib/ftmp-security gives you as a result something like
57
58           lib/ftmp-security....File::Temp::_gettemp:
59           Parent directory (/tmp/) is not safe (sticky bit not set
60           when world writable?) at lib/ftmp-security.t line 100
61
62       don't panic and just set the sticky bit in your /tmp directory by doing
63       the following as root:
64
65       cd / chmod +t /tmp (=set the sticky bit to /tmp).
66
67       Then rerun the tests. This time all must be OK.
68
69   Installing the built perl on DG/UX
70       Run the command "make install"
