-From: lreed@ncratl.AtlantaGA.NCR.COM (Len Reed)
-Newsgroups: comp.lang.perl
-Subject: Fixes for Perl 4.019 on NCR Tower V.3
-Date: 17 Feb 92 16:41:30 GMT
-Organization: Holos Software, Inc.
-
-Here are the fixes needed to make perl 4.019 on the NCR Tower V.3 system.
-I have bundled this as a shar file: feed everything below the CUT line
-to /bin/sh.
-
-The file hints/ncr_tower.sh fixes several problems. It replaces the
-standard copy thereof. Note that I use perl's malloc. Note also
-that I have turned the optimizer completely off (-O0). Optimizing
-at -O1 or -O2 produces some errors that the test suite doesn't catch.
-(Problems with alloca() and setjmp/longjmp, I think.) It should be
-possible to optimize some modules but I haven't experimented with this.
-
-[NOTE: this hints file is already installed--lwall]
-
-I'm don't know if mkdir(2) works: I've left it undef'ed. It is certainly
-broken in V.2. If you need fast mkdir's you may want to experiment with
-this.
-
-The file patch.twg fixes a stupidity in /usr/netinclude/sys/time.h.
-You'll need this if you have WIN-TCP; you can't use it if you don't
-have WIN-TCP. If needed, apply this patch *before* running Configure.
-
-Make sure you tell Configure that any config.sh it finds is to be ignored.
-
-After running Configure and make depend, edit config.h so that
-the CPPSTDIN definition has DEFAULT_CPP=/dev/null prepended. It should
-look this this:
-
-#define CPPSTDIN "DEFAULT_CPP=/dev/null cc -E"
-
-This must be done by hand after running "make depend" and before running
-make. I was unable to encode this into the hints file.
-
-This resulting perl should pass all tests.

-XThe following patch fixes /usr/netinclude/sys/time.h on the Tower V.3.
-XPulling in <sys/time.h> with -I/usr/inetinclude makes a mess unless
-Xthe <sys/twg_config.h> file is pulled in, too. It's stupid that an
-Xapplication (e.g., perl) should have to do this. Thus, I fixed
-Xthe system header file. The alternative is to make each application
-Xget the header file itself. (The #if allows the application to do
-Xit, though, for compatibility with existing applications.)
-X
-XTo apply this patch, chdir to /usr/netinclude/sys and run
-X patch <this_file
-X
-XIf the patch fails, fix the file by hand. All I've done is put
-X#ifndef HDEF
-X /* Len Reed 5/6/91 -- pulling in <sys/time.h> shouldn't cause
-X HDEF to blow up the compile--auto pull in its defining file.
-X */
-X# include <sys/twg_config.h>
-X#endif
-X
-Xbefore HDEF is used.
