perlhaiku − Perl version 5.10+ on Haiku
This file contains instructions how to build Perl for Haiku and lists known problems.
The build procedure is completely standard:
./Configure
−de
make
make install
Make perl executable and create a symlink for libperl:
chmod a+x
/boot/common/bin/perl
cd /boot/common/lib; ln −s
perl5/5.38.2/BePC−haiku/CORE/libperl.so .
Replace 5.38.2 with your respective version of Perl.
The following problems are encountered with Haiku revision 28311:
• |
Perl cannot be compiled with threading support ATM. | ||
• |
The cpan/Socket/t/socketpair.t test fails. More precisely: the subtests using datagram sockets fail. Unix datagram sockets aren’t implemented in Haiku yet. | ||
• |
A subtest of the cpan/Sys−Syslog/t/syslog.t test fails. This is due to Haiku not implementing /dev/log support yet. | ||
• |
The tests dist/Net−Ping/t/450_service.t and dist/Net−Ping/t/510_ping_udp.t fail. This is due to bugs in Haiku’s network stack implementation. |
For Haiku specific problems contact the HaikuPorts developers: <http://ports.haiku−files.org/>
The initial Haiku port was done by Ingo Weinhold <[email protected]>.
