19Some tests may fail unless you use 'chacl -B'. Also, op/stat
20test 2 may fail occasionally because Apollo doesn't guarantee
21that mtime will be equal to ctime on a newly created unmodified
22file. Finally, the sleep test will sometimes fail. See the
23sleep(3) man page to learn why.

25See hints/apollo.sh for hints on running h2ph.

27And a note on ccflags:
28
29 Lastly, while -A cpu,mathchip generates optimal code for your DN3500
30 running sr10.3, be aware that you should be using -A cpu,mathlib_sr10
31 if your perl must also run on any machines running sr10.0, sr10.1, or
32 sr10.2. The -A cpu,mathchip option generates code that doesn't work on
33 pre-sr10.3 nodes. See the cc(1) man page for more details.

38# Running h2ph, on the other hand, presents a challenge.

40#The perl header files have to be generated with following commands
41
42#sed 's|/usr/include|/sys5/usr/include|g' h2ph >h2ph.new && chmod +x h2ph.new
43#(set cdir=`pwd`; cd /sys5/usr/include; $cdir/h2ph.new sys/* )
44#(set cdir=`pwd`; cd /usr/include; $cdir/h2ph * sys/* machine/*)
45
46#The SYS5 headers (only sys) are overlayed by the BSD headers. It seems
47#all ok, but once I am going into details, a lot of limitations from
48#'h2ph' are coming up. Lines like "#define NODEV (dev_t)(-1)" result in
49#syntax errors as converted by h2ph.
50
51# Generally, h2ph might need a lot of help.
