| | 7 | To compile perl under BeOS R4 x86: |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | `./Configure -d` and hit ^C when it asks you if you want to make changes |
| | 10 | to config.sh; |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | edit config.sh and do the following: |
| | 13 | change d_socket='define' to ='undef'; |
| | 14 | remove SDBM, Errno, and Socket from dynamic_ext= and nonxs_ext=; |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | add '#define bool short' to x2p/a2p.h; |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | ../Configure -S; make; make install |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | cd ~/config/lib; ln -s 5.00502/BeOS-BePC/CORE/libperl.so . |
| | 21 | (substitute 5.00502 with the appropriate filename) |

| | 23 | OS RELEASE-SPECIFIC NOTES |
| | 24 | ------------------------- |
| | 25 | R4 x86 - dynamic loading finally works! Yay! This means you can compile |
| | 26 | your own modules into perl. However, Sockets and Errno still don't work. |
| | 27 | (Hopefully, sockets will at least work by R5, if not sooner.) |
| | 28 | |
| | 29 | R4 PPC - I have not tested this. I rather severely doubt that dynamic |
| | 30 | loading will work. (My BeBox is in pieces right now, following a nasty |
| | 31 | disk crash.) You may have to disable dynamic loading to get the thing |
| | 32 | to compile at all. (use `./Configure` without -d, and say 'no' to |
| | 33 | 'Build a shared libperl.so'.) |
