perlhaiku − Perl version 5.10+ on Haiku
This file contains instructions how to build Perl for Haiku and lists known problems.
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 perl5/5.16.3/BePC−haiku/CORE/libperl.so .
Replace 5.16.3 with your respective version of Perl.
The following problems are encountered with Haiku revision 28311:
|
• |
Perl cannot be compiled with threading support ATM . | ||
|
• |
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. | ||
|
• |
A subtest of the ext/Sys/Syslog/t/syslog.t test fails. This is due to Haiku not implementing "/dev/log" support yet. | ||
|
• |
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. |
For Haiku specific problems contact the HaikuPorts developers: http://ports.haiku−files.org/ <http://ports.haiku-files.org/>
The initial Haiku port was done by Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>.
