Notes on building perl under BeOS:
GENERAL ISSUES
--------------
how to compile perl:
To compile perl under BeOS R4 x86:
`./Configure -d` and hit ^C when it asks you if you want to make changes
to config.sh;
edit config.sh and do the following:
change d_socket='define' to ='undef';
remove SDBM, Errno, and Socket from dynamic_ext= and nonxs_ext=;
add '#define bool short' to x2p/a2p.h;
../Configure -S; make; make install
cd ~/config/lib; ln -s 5.00502/BeOS-BePC/CORE/libperl.so .
(substitute 5.00502 with the appropriate filename)
OS RELEASE-SPECIFIC NOTES
-------------------------
R4 x86 - dynamic loading finally works! Yay! This means you can compile
your own modules into perl. However, Sockets and Errno still don't work.
(Hopefully, sockets will at least work by R5, if not sooner.)
R4 PPC - I have not tested this. I rather severely doubt that dynamic
loading will work. (My BeBox is in pieces right now, following a nasty
disk crash.) You may have to disable dynamic loading to get the thing
to compile at all. (use `./Configure` without -d, and say 'no' to
'Build a shared libperl.so'.)
