| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before I say anything else, let me say that the O'Reilly Perl Conference was super! In compiling Perl5.004_1 on our Sequent boxes running DYNIX/ptx 4.0 V4.2.1 we found that we had to add the following ccflags and cppflags to get the sockets io to work. cppflags='-Wc,+abi-socket -I/usr/local/include' ccflags='-Wc,+abi-socket -I/usr/local/include' This also could have been set by setting an environment variable _SEQUENT_CC_=-Wc,+abi-socket before compiling. I have attached an snippet of the socket(3N) man pages as well. This also must be noted when compiling and adding other modules as well. p5p-msgid: Pine.PTX.3.95.971002104651.12112G-200000@lancelot.aps.org
| * Fix perl build on Digital UNIX after JDK installs libnet.soSpider Boardman1997-09-051-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Subject: [PATCH] Perl & JAVA co-existence It turns out that the JDK on Digital UNIX installs a libnet.so which gets in the way when building Perl. Back during 5.003_28, I didn't do anything to remove libnet because there wasn't one, but now there can be a libnet, and it's wrong. So, here's a patch to the dec_osf hints file to skip libnet as well as some of the others we're already ignoring. p5p-msgid: 199709191826.OAA18040@Orb.Nashua.NH.US

When using icc as the compiler, optimization must either be turned off or set to "-O0" -- otherwise the "pack" tests fail.

Perhaps this should be somehow incorporated into linux.sh or something? I'd propose a patch, but this is not my area of expertise at all. instead of the recommended: ccdlflags='-rdynamic' it should be: ccdlflags='-Wl,-E' Thanks to Shimpei Yamashita <shimpei@socrates.patnet.caltech.edu> for pointing this out.

This tests fine on my Linux. I hope >I'm not introducing a memory leak or other ailment... That doesn't look quite right to me. When provided a literal, you should point at the actual literal (which normally has a global lifetime), rather than making a mortal copy of it and pointing at that. The mortal copy will be destroyed at the next statement boundary, and you'll be left with a dangling pointer when you unpack(). You're doing the very thing the XXX comment above was intended to highlight. I do agree that literals should be pack('p')-able.

Thank you for a great job! You even corrected os2/diff.configure! Unfortunately, several sections of os2/diff.configure were erroneously removed, so it will not create a valid config.sh any more (ar used instead of $ar, and one extra method to extract symbols is not tried). Unfortunately, I was away from my development machine, so could not try it earlier. A patch to correct this problem, and some other ones, follows. a) Missing sections restored; os2/diff.configure b) my_flock added to os2/os2.c (libc contains a dummy implementation only) (switchable off in case CRT DLL is fixed in this respect); os2/os2ish.h os2/Makefile.SHs os2/os2.c c) depending on architecture, waitpid may be implemented or not.

| * work around compiler bug on CX/UX (perl5.004_01)Tom Horsley1997-08-071-7/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch provides a work-around for a compiler bug on CX/UX systems (which shows up as a failure in the 'w' format of pack). The CXUX_BROKEN_CONSTANT_CONVERT ifdef flag is added to the hints/cxux.sh compiler and pp.c is modified to avoid a compile time constant conversion which fails based on that ifdef. While I was in the hints file, I also added the magical -Qtarget=M88110compat compiler option which makes it build code that will run on both 88110 and 88100 CX/UX machines interchangably. This patch was generated from a brand new copy of perl5.004_01, so I'm confident there are no extraneous changes that slipped in. I even built and tested and it passed all tests. (I decided to go with option #3 in my previous mail about how to do the patch). If its too late for 5.004_02, I wouldn't worry - it isn't very critical. p5p-msgid: 9707301934.AA18594@amber.ssd.hcsc.com

I was supprised to see that I got d_stdio_cnt_lval='undef' d_stdio_ptr_lval='undef' A quick bit of spelunking showed that in the 2.1->2.1.1 upgrade stdio.h got modified, the _cnt and _ptr fields in FILE* got renamed to __cnt and __ptr.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Here (attached below) is a patch for compiling perl5 on NEWS-OS 4.x. It contains a new hints file for NEWS-OS 4.x and some modification to Configure. I've tested on perl5.003, perl5.003_99 and perl5.004. Background: Current release of NEWS-OS is version 6.1.x and it is SystemV variant. However, NEWS-OS 4.x is 4.3BSD-variant and commonly used in Japan. So, I named 'newsos' for newer release, and 'newsos4' for older release. Unfortunately, NEWS-OS 4.x has no uname(1). p5p-msgid: 19970521132814F.matusita@ics.es.osaka-u.ac.jp

In 5.003, Syslog called Sys::Hostname to get the name of the host, and happily used that as the logging host. Now, Syslog calls Sys::Hostname to get the name of the host, strips off all the domain info, and uses that as the host: sub connect { unless ($host) { require Sys::Hostname; my($host_uniq) = Sys::Hostname::hostname(); ($host) = $host_uniq =~ /([\w\-]+)/; } ....etc..... Was this intentional? It screws up systems which use an FQDN as their hostname and don't list the stripped-down version in their /etc/hosts file, because inet_aton fails on the stripped-down name.
