NAME
README.haiku - Perl version 5.10+ on Haiku
DESCRIPTION
This file contains instructions how to build Perl for Haiku and lists
known problems.
BUILD AND INSTALL
- The build procedure is completely standard:
- ./Configure -de
make
make install - Make perl executable and create a symlink for libperl:
chmod a+x /boot/common/bin/perl
cd /boot/common/lib; ln -s perl5/5.10.1/BePC-haiku/CORE/libperl.so .- Replace 5.10.1 with your respective version of Perl.
KNOWN PROBLEMS
The following problems are encountered with Haiku revision 28311:
o Perl cannot be compiled with threading support ATM.
- o The "ext/Socket/t/socketpair.t" test fails. More precisely: the
- subtests using datagram sockets fail. Unix datagram sockets aren't implemented in Haiku yet.
- o A subtest of the "ext/Sys/Syslog/t/syslog.t" test fails. This is
- due to Haiku not implementing "/dev/log" support yet.
- o The tests "lib/Net/Ping/t/450_service.t" and
- "lib/Net/Ping/t/510_ping_udp.t" fail. This is due to bugs in
Haiku's network stack implementation.
