BUILDING PERL ON DG/UX

23       Non-threaded Perl on DG/UX
24
25       Just run ./Configure script from the top directory.  Then give "make"
26       to compile.
27
28       Threaded Perl on DG/UX
29
30       If you are using as compiler GCC-2.95.x rev(DG/UX) an easy solution for
31       configuring perl in your DG/UX machine is to run the command:
32
33       ./Configure -Dusethreads -Duseithreads -Dusedevel -des
34
35       This will automatically accept all the defaults and in particular
36       /usr/local/ as installation directory.  Note that GCC-2.95.x rev(DG/UX)
37       knows the switch -pthread which allows it to link correctly DG/UX's
38       -lthread library.
39
40       If you want to change the installation directory or have a standard
41       DG/UX with C compiler GCC-2.7.2.x then you have no choice than to do an
42       interactive build by issuing the command:
43
44       ./Configure -Dusethreads -Duseithreads
45
46       In particular with GCC-2.7.2.x accept all the defaults and *watch* out
47       for the message:
48
49           Any additional ld flags (NOT including libraries)? [ -pthread]
50
51       Instead of -pthread put here -lthread. CGCC-2.7.2.x that comes with the
52       DG/UX OS does NOT know the -pthread switch. So your build will fail if
53       you choose the defaults.  After configuration is done correctly give
54       "make" to compile.
55
56       Testing Perl on DG/UX
57
58       Issuing a "make test" will run all the tests.  If the test
59       lib/ftmp-security gives you as a result something like
60
61           lib/ftmp-security....File::Temp::_gettemp:
62           Parent directory (/tmp/) is not safe (sticky bit not set
63           when world writable?) at lib/ftmp-security.t line 100
64
65       don't panic and just set the sticky bit in your /tmp directory by doing
66       the following as root:
67
68       cd / chmod +t /tmp (=set the sticky bit to /tmp).
69
70       Then rerun the tests. This time all must be OK.
71
72       Installing the built perl on DG/UX
73
74       Run the command "make install"
