NAME

perlnetware - Perl for NetWare

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 theREADME file found in the top level directory into which the Perl sourcecode distribution was extracted. Make sure you read and understandthe terms under which the software is being distributed.

BUILD

This section describes the steps to be performed to build a Perl NLMand other associated NLMs.

Tools & SDK

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 athttp://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Category:Novell_Developer_Kit,are required. Microsoft Visual C++ version 4.2 or later is alsorequired.

Setup

The build process is dependent on the location of the NetWare SDK.Once the Tools & SDK are installed, the build environment has tobe setup. The following batch files setup the environment.

• SetNWBld.bat

  The Execution of this file takes 2 parameters as input. The firstbeing the NetWare SDK path, second being the path for CodeWarriorCompiler & tools. Execution of this file sets these paths and alsosets the build type to Release by default.

• Buildtype.bat

  This is used to set the build type to debug or release. Change thebuild type only after executing SetNWBld.bat

  Example:

  1.

  Typing "buildtype d on" at the command prompt causes the buildtypeto be set to Debug type with D2 flag set.

  2.

  Typing "buildtype d off" or "buildtype d" at the command prompt causesthe buildtype to be set to Debug type with D1 flag set.

  3.

  Typing "buildtype r" at the command prompt sets it to Release Build type.

Make

The make process runs only under WinNT shell. The NetWare makefile islocated under the NetWare folder. This makes use of miniperl.exe torun some of the Perl scripts. To create miniperl.exe, first set therequired paths for Visual c++ compiler (specify vcvars32 location) atthe command prompt. Then run nmake from win32 folder through WinNTcommand prompt. The build process can be stopped after miniperl.exeis created. Then run nmake from NetWare folder through WinNT commandprompt.

Currently the following two build types are tested on NetWare:

• USE_MULTI, USE_ITHREADS & USE_IMP_SYS defined

• USE_MULTI & USE_IMP_SYS defined and USE_ITHREADS not defined

Interpreter

Once miniperl.exe creation is over, run nmake from the NetWare folder.This will build the Perl interpreter for NetWare as perl.nlm.This is copied under the Release folder if you are doinga release build, else will be copied under Debug folder for debug builds.

Extensions

The make process also creates the Perl extensions as <Extension.nlm>

INSTALL

To install NetWare Perl onto a NetWare server, first map the Sysvolume of a NetWare server to i:. This is because the makefile bydefault sets the drive letter to i:. Type nmake nwinstall fromNetWare folder on a WinNT command prompt. This will copy the binariesand module files onto the NetWare server under sys:\Perlfolder. The Perl interpreter, perl.nlm, is copied undersys:\perl\system folder. Copy this to sys:\system folder.

Example: At the command prompt Type "nmake nwinstall". This will install NetWare Perl on the NetWare Server. Similarly, if you type "nmake install", this will cause the binaries to be installed on the local machine. (Typically under the c:\perl folder)

BUILD NEW EXTENSIONS

To build extensions other than standard extensions, NetWare Perl hasto be installed on Windows along with Windows Perl. The Perl forWindows can be either downloaded from the CPAN site and built usingthe sources, or the binaries can be directly downloaded from theActiveState site. Installation can be done by invoking nmakeinstall from the NetWare folder on a WinNT command prompt afterbuilding NetWare Perl by following steps given above. This will copyall the *.pm files and other required files. Documentation files arenot copied. Thus one must first install Windows Perl, Then installNetWare Perl.

Once this is done, do the following to build any extension:

• Change to the extension directory where its source files are present.

• Run the following command at the command prompt:

   perl -II<path to NetWare lib dir> -II<path to lib> Makefile.pl
   

  Example:

   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
   

• nmake

• nmake install

  Install will copy the files into the Windows machine where NetWarePerl is installed and these files may have to be copied to the NetWareserver manually. Alternatively, pass INSTALLSITELIB=i:\perl\lib asan input to makefile.pl above. Here i: is the mapped drive to thesys: volume of the server where Perl on NetWare is installed. Nowtyping nmake install, will copy the files onto the NetWare server.

  Example: You can execute the following on the command prompt.

    perl -Ic:/perl/5.6.1/lib/NetWare-x86-multi-thread -Ic:\perl\5.6.1\lib MakeFile.pl
   
    INSTALLSITELIB=i:\perl\lib
   

  or

    perl -Ic:/perl/5.8.0/lib/NetWare-x86-multi-thread -Ic:\perl\5.8.0\lib MakeFile.pl
   
    INSTALLSITELIB=i:\perl\lib
   

• Note: Some modules downloaded from CPAN may require NetWare relatedAPI in order to build on NetWare. Other modules may however buildsmoothly with or without minor changes depending on the type ofmodule.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The makefile for Win32 is used as a reference to create the makefilefor NetWare. Also, the make process for NetWare port usesminiperl.exe to run scripts during the make and installation process.
