1 | This file documents the changes made to port Perl to the Stratus |
2 | VOS operating system. | |

4 | For 5.7: |
5 | Updated "build.cm" to build perl using either the alpha or GA | |
6 | version of POSIX. | |
7 | Updated "Changes". | |
8 | Updated "compile_perl.cm" to use either the alpha or GA | |
9 | version of POSIX. | |
10 | Split "config.def" into config.alpha.def and config.ga.def; | |
11 | one for each version. Use the configure_perl.cm macro | |
12 | to select the appropriate version. | |
13 | Split "config.h" into config.alpha.h and config.ga.h. Use the | |
14 | configure_perl.cm macro to select the appropriate version. | |
15 | Updated "config.pl". It now diagnoses undefined (missing) and | |
16 | unused substitution variables. When a new version of | |
17 | Perl comes out, run "configure_perl.cm", add any missing | |
18 | definitions to config.*.def, and remove any unused | |
19 | definitions. | |
20 | Removed "config_h.SH_orig". It is no longer needed. | |
21 | Added "configure_perl.cm". It is used to configure perl so that | |
22 | it can be built with either version of VOS POSIX.1 support. | |
23 | Added "install_perl.cm" to install Perl into the appropriate | |
24 | system directories. | |
25 | Updated "perl.bind" to work with either the alpha or GA | |
26 | version of POSIX. | |
27 | Updated "vosish.h" to just use the standard "unixish.h" since | |
28 | there are no changes needed at this time. | |

30 | After 5.005_63: |
31 | Supplied "config.pl" perl script that takes "config_h.SH_orig" | |
32 | and "config.def" as input and produces "config.h.new". | |
33 | With some luck, you will just need to edit "config.def" | |
34 | to create a new port. | |
35 | Updated "build.cm". | |
36 | Updated "compile_perl.cm". | |
37 | Added "config.def". | |
38 | Updated "config.h". | |
39 | Added "config.pl". | |
40 | Updated "config_h.SH_orig". | |
41 | Updated "perl.bind". | |
42 | Updated "README.vos". | |
43 | Updated "vos_dummies.c". | |
44 | Updated "vosish.h". | |

46 | after 5.005_02: |
47 | Initial release. | |
48 | Supplied "build.cm" command macro to build perl. | |
49 | Supplied "Changes" to document the change history. | |
50 | Supplied "compile_perl.cm" to launch processes to compile all | |
51 | four versions of the Perl 5 binaries. | |
52 | Supplied "config.h" to configure Perl 5 to VOS. Unfortunately, | |
53 | since VOS does not have the configure tool, this file was | |
54 | built by hand by editing "config_h.SH". | |
24e8e380 | 55 | Supplied "config_h.SH_orig", which is the version of this file |
495c5fdc PG |
56 | that was current for version 5.005_02. Use this to discover |
57 | any subsequent changes to config_h.SH that must be | |
58 | hand-copied into the real config.h. | |
59 | Supplied "perl.bind" to control the VOS binder. | |
60 | Supplied "README.vos" to describe the VOS port. | |
61 | Supplied "test_vos_dummies.c" to test the VOS dummy functions. | |
62 | Supplied "vos_dummies.c" to trap unimplemented POSIX functions. | |
63 | Supplied "vosish.h" to configure Perl 5 to VOS. | |
