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 | |
e03f126c | 25 | cd /boot/common/lib; ln -s perl5/5.13.8/BePC-haiku/CORE/libperl.so . |

e03f126c | 27 | Replace C<5.13.8> 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. | |

57 | =head1 CONTACT | |
58 | ||
59 | For Haiku specific problems contact the HaikuPorts developers: | |
60 | http://ports.haiku-files.org/ | |
61 | ||
62 | The initial Haiku port was done by Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>. | |
