| 6 | ||
| 7 | README.haiku - Perl version 5.10+ on Haiku | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | This file contains instructions how to build Perl for Haiku and lists | |
| 12 | known problems. | |
| 13 | ||
| 14 | =head1 BUILD AND INSTALL | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | The build procedure is completely standard: | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | ./Configure -de | |
| 19 | make | |
| 20 | make install | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | Make perl executable and create a symlink for libperl: | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | chmod a+x /boot/common/bin/perl | |
| 84e09a8c | 25 | cd /boot/common/lib; ln -s perl5/5.11.5/BePC-haiku/CORE/libperl.so . |
| df00ff3b | 26 | |
| 84e09a8c | 27 | Replace C<5.11.5> with your respective version of Perl. |

| 29 | =head1 KNOWN PROBLEMS | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | The following problems are encountered with Haiku revision 28311: | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | =over 4 | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | =item * | |
| 36 | ||
| 37 | Perl cannot be compiled with threading support ATM. | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | =item * | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | The C<ext/Socket/t/socketpair.t> test fails. More precisely: the subtests | |
| 42 | using datagram sockets fail. Unix datagram sockets aren't implemented in | |
| 43 | Haiku yet. | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | =item * | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | A subtest of the C<ext/Sys/Syslog/t/syslog.t> test fails. This is due to Haiku | |
| 48 | not implementing C</dev/log> support yet. | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | =item * | |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | The tests C<lib/Net/Ping/t/450_service.t> and C<lib/Net/Ping/t/510_ping_udp.t> | |
| 53 | fail. This is due to bugs in Haiku's network stack implementation. | |
