README.haiku − 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 perl5/5.10.1/BePC−haiku/CORE/libperl.so . Replace 5.10.1 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. |
