NAME

perluts - Perl under UTS

SYNOPSIS

This document can be read as is: as README.uts, or youcan read it after you build your package using "man perluts".

The purpose is to help you build Perl for UTS, which, if youfollow these instructions, should be easy, and result ina solidly working installation.

DESCRIPTION

Perl 5.7.2 (Developmental) or Perl 5.8.x (forthcoming) for UTS

BUILDING PERL ON UTS

NOTE: Some sites have redefined the way uname works, and if yoursdoes this, special steps must be taken so that Configure canrecognize your system as a UTS system. To see if you are inthis category, issue the command "uname -a". It should looksomething like:

  uts juno 4 4.4 9672 370
 

At any rate, the first field should be "uts". If this is notthe case; supposing it is, say telcoUTS, create a script, uts/uname(i.e. uname, in the subdirectory "uts" of the main Perl source dir): # uname /usr/bin/uname "$@" | sed -e 's/^telcoUTS/uts/'

and when you execute Configure, do it as below, except for addingPATH=uts:$PATH as a prefix. I.e. do:

   PATH=uts:$PATH ./Configure ...
 

There is no need to do an interactive configure, just type

  ./Configure -de [-Dusedevel] [-Doptimize=-g ] 2>&1 | tee Conf.out
 

"-Dusedevel" may be required to configure Perl 5.7.2 non-interactively.Use -Doptimize=-g if you want to run Perl under sdb or gdb, ORif you want to be able to use the -D command line flags to perl,which are occasionally useful in debugging perl scripts.

In this and the following steps, the "2>&1 | tee XXX.out" records alloutput from the process, which will be useful if anything unexpectedgoes wrong.

Then do the compilation with

  make 2>&1 | tee make.out
 

Finally, test using

  make test 2>&1 | tee make-test.out
 

In the output, the only failures you should see should look like:

   lib/Math/BigInt/t/bigfltpm.........Use of uninitialized value ...
 
   FAILED at test 57
 
   lib/Math/BigInt/t/bigintc..........ok
 
   lib/Math/BigInt/t/bigintpm.........FAILED at test 204
 
   lib/Math/BigInt/t/mbimbf...........Use of uninitialized value ...
 
   Illegal division by zero at ../lib/Math/BigInt/Calc.pm line 314.
 
   FAILED at test 71
 
   lib/Math/Complex...................exp: OVERFLOW
 
   FAILED at test 250
 
   lib/Math/Trig......................exp: OVERFLOW
 
   ok
 
   lib/Memoize/t/array................ok
 
   ...
 
   lib/Net/protoent...................ok
 
   lib/Net/servent....................FAILED at test 0
 

This means that everything passes except for some problems in thepackages "Math::BigInt", "Math::Complex", and "Math::Trig".The lib/Net/servent failure seems to be a bug in the testprogram. To confirm this, from the main Perl source dir, do:

   LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd` ./perl -Ilib lib/Net/servent.t
 

and it should output

   1..3
 
   ok 1
 
   ok 2
 
   ok 3
 

Installing the built perl on UTS

Run the command "make install"
