6 perluts - Perl under UTS
7
9 This document can be read as is: as README.uts, or you can read it
10 after you build your package using "man perluts".
11
12 The purpose is to help you build Perl for UTS, which, if you follow
13 these instructions, should be easy, and result in a solidly working
14 installation.
15
17 Perl 5.7.2 (Developmental) or Perl 5.8.x (forthcoming) for UTS
18
20 NOTE: Some sites have redefined the way uname works, and if yours does
21 this, special steps must be taken so that Configure can recognize your
22 system as a UTS system. To see if you are in this category, issue the
23 command "uname -a". It should look something like:
24
25 uts juno 4 4.4 9672 370
26
27 At any rate, the first field should be "uts". If this is not the case;
28 supposing it is, say telcoUTS, create a script, uts/uname (i.e. uname,
29 in the subdirectory "uts" of the main Perl source dir):
30 # uname
31 /usr/bin/uname "$@" | sed -e 's/^telcoUTS/uts/'
32
33 and when you execute Configure, do it as below, except for adding
34 PATH=uts:$PATH as a prefix. I.e. do:
35
36 PATH=uts:$PATH ./Configure ...
37
38 There is no need to do an interactive configure, just type
39
40 ./Configure -de [-Dusedevel] [-Doptimize=-g ] 2>&1 | tee Conf.out
41
42 "-Dusedevel" may be required to configure Perl 5.7.2 non-interactively.
43 Use -Doptimize=-g if you want to run Perl under sdb or gdb, OR if you
44 want to be able to use the -D command line flags to perl, which are
45 occasionally useful in debugging perl scripts.
46
47 In this and the following steps, the "2>&1 | tee XXX.out" records all
48 output from the process, which will be useful if anything unexpected
49 goes wrong.
50
51 Then do the compilation with
52
53 make 2>&1 | tee make.out
54
55 Finally, test using
56
57 make test 2>&1 | tee make-test.out
58
59 In the output, the only failures you should see should look like:
60
61 lib/Math/BigInt/t/bigfltpm.........Use of uninitialized value ...
62 FAILED at test 57
63 lib/Math/BigInt/t/bigintc..........ok
64 lib/Math/BigInt/t/bigintpm.........FAILED at test 204
65 lib/Math/BigInt/t/mbimbf...........Use of uninitialized value ...
66 Illegal division by zero at ../lib/Math/BigInt/Calc.pm line 314.
67 FAILED at test 71
68 lib/Math/Complex...................exp: OVERFLOW
69 FAILED at test 250
70 lib/Math/Trig......................exp: OVERFLOW
71 ok
72 lib/Memoize/t/array................ok
73 ...
74 lib/Net/protoent...................ok
75 lib/Net/servent....................FAILED at test 0
76
77 This means that everything passes except for some problems in the
78 packages "Math::BigInt", "Math::Complex", and "Math::Trig". The
79 lib/Net/servent failure seems to be a bug in the test program. To
80 confirm this, from the main Perl source dir, do:
81
82 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd` ./perl -Ilib lib/Net/servent.t
83
84 and it should output
85
86 1..3
87 ok 1
88 ok 2
89 ok 3
90
92 Run the command "make install"
