-=head1 Description
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
This file gives instructions for building Perl 5.7 and above, and also
Perl modules for NetWare. Before you start, you may want to read the
code distribution was extracted. Make sure you read and understand
the terms under which the software is being distributed.
-=head1 Build
+=head1 BUILD
This section describes the steps to be performed to build a Perl NLM
and other associated NLMs.
The build requires CodeWarrior compiler and linker. In addition,
the "NetWare SDK", "NLM & NetWare Libraries for C" and
"NetWare Server Protocol Libraries for C", all available at
-L<http://developer.novell.com/ndk/>, are also required.
-Microsoft Visual C++ version 4.2 or later is also required.
+L<http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Novell_Developer_Kit>,
+are required. Microsoft Visual C++ version 4.2 or later is also
+required.
=head2 Setup
Once the Tools & SDK are installed, the build environment has to
be setup. The following batch files setup the environment.

-If you want to build with Default settings you can follow the One step process given below
-to create the default Build Environment.

+Compiler & tools. Execution of this file sets these paths and also
+sets the build type to Release by default.

+Typing "buildtype d on" at the command prompt causes the buildtype
+to be set to Debug type with D2 flag set.
-This sets the build type to release or debug.
+=item 2.
-=item *
+Typing "buildtype d off" or "buildtype d" at the command prompt causes
+the buildtype to be set to Debug type with D1 flag set.
-Example: Typing "buildtype d on" at the command prompt causes the buildtype to be set to Debug type.
- Typing "buildtype r" at the command prompt sets it to Release Build type.

-This sets the NetWare SDK path, path to Compiler & other tools.
+Typing "buildtype r" at the command prompt sets it to Release Build type.

=head2 Make
-The make process runs only under WinNT shell.
-The NetWare makefile is located under the NetWare folder.
-This makes use of miniperl.exe to run some of
-the Perl scripts. To create miniperl.exe, first set the required paths for
-Visual c++ compilier (specify vcvars32 location) at the command prompt.
-Then run nmake from win32 folder through WinNT command prompt.
-The build process can be stopped after miniperl.exe is created. Then run nmake
-from NetWare folder through WinNT command prompt.

-=head1 Install
+=head1 INSTALL
-To install NetWare Perl onto a NetWare server, first map the Sys volume
-of a NetWare server to I<i:>. This is because the makefile by default
-sets the drive letter to I<i:>. Type I<nmake nwinstall> from NetWare folder
-on a WinNT command prompt. This will copy the binaries and module files
-onto the NetWare server under I<sys:\Perl> folder. The Perl interpreter, I<perl.nlm>,
-is copied under I<sys:\perl\system> folder. Copy this to I<sys:\system> folder.

This will install NetWare Perl on the NetWare Server.
This will cause the binaries to be installed on the local machine.
(Typically under the c:\perl folder)

-=head1 Build new extensions
+=head1 BUILD NEW EXTENSIONS
To build extensions other than standard extensions, NetWare Perl has
-to be installed on Windows along with Windows Perl. The Perl for Windows can be
-either downloaded from the CPAN site and built using the sources, or the binaries
-can be directly downloaded from the ActiveState site.
-Installation can be done by invoking I<nmake install> from the NetWare folder
-on a WinNT command prompt after building NetWare Perl by following steps given above.
-This will copy all the *.pm files and other required files.
-Documentation files are not copied.Thus one must first install Windows Perl, Then install
+to be installed on Windows along with Windows Perl. The Perl for

+all the *.pm files and other required files. Documentation files are
+not copied. Thus one must first install Windows Perl, Then install
NetWare Perl.
Once this is done, do the following to build any extension:
Example:
- perl -Ic:/perl/5.7.2/lib/NetWare-x86-multi-thread -Ic:\perl\5.7.2\lib MakeFile.pl
+ perl -Ic:/perl/5.6.1/lib/NetWare-x86-multi-thread -Ic:\perl\5.6.1\lib MakeFile.pl
+
+or
+
+ perl -Ic:/perl/5.8.0/lib/NetWare-x86-multi-thread -Ic:\perl\5.8.0\lib MakeFile.pl
=item *
nmake install
Install will copy the files into the Windows machine where NetWare
-Perl is installed and these files may have to be copied to the NetWare server
-manually. Alternatively, pass I<INSTALLSITELIB=i:\perl\lib> as an
-input to makefile.pl above. Here I<i:> is the mapped drive to the
+Perl is installed and these files may have to be copied to the NetWare
+server manually. Alternatively, pass I<INSTALLSITELIB=i:\perl\lib> as
+an input to makefile.pl above. Here I<i:> is the mapped drive to the
sys: volume of the server where Perl on NetWare is installed. Now
typing I<nmake install>, will copy the files onto the NetWare server.
Example: You can execute the following on the command prompt.
- perl -Ic:/perl/5.7.2/lib/NetWare-x86-multi-thread -Ic:\perl\5.7.2\lib MakeFile.pl
+ perl -Ic:/perl/5.6.1/lib/NetWare-x86-multi-thread -Ic:\perl\5.6.1\lib MakeFile.pl
INSTALLSITELIB=i:\perl\lib
-=back
+or

-in order to build on NetWare.Other modules may however build smoothly with or
-without minor changes depending on the type of module.

+=head1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The makefile for Win32 is used as a reference to create the makefile
for NetWare. Also, the make process for NetWare port uses
miniperl.exe to run scripts during the make and installation process.
