microperl is supposed to be a really minimal perl, even more
minimal than miniperl. No Configure is needed to build microperl,
on the other hand this means that interfaces between Perl and your
operating system are left very -- minimal.
All this is experimental. If you don't know what to do with microperl
you probably shouldn't. Do not report bugs in microperl; fix the bugs.
We assume ANSI C89 plus the following:
- <stddef.h>, <stdlib.h>
- rename()
- opendir(), readdir(), closedir() (via dirent.h)
- memchr(), memcmp(), memcpy(), memset() (via string.h)
- (a safe) putenv() (via stdlib.h)
- strtoul() (via stdlib.h)
(grep for 'define' in uconfig.sh.)
Also, Perl times() is defined to always return zeroes.
If you are still reading this and you are itching to try out microperl:
make -f Makefile.micro
The defaults assume a little endian LP32 platform - ie long and pointers are
32 bits, so sizeof(long) and sizeof(void *) are 4
If your platform is little endian LP64 - ie long and pointers are 64 bits,
sizeof(long) and sizeof(void *) are 8, then you first need to run
make -f Makefile.micro regen_uconfig64
to generate a suitable uconfig.h
If you make changes to uconfig.sh, run
make -f Makefile.micro regen_uconfig
to regenerate uconfig.h. (or regen_uconfig64 if you're editing uconfig64.sh)
If neither of the above default configs work on your platform, you might want
to try
make -f Makefile.micro patch_uconfig
*before* the "make -f Makefile.micro". This tries to minimally patch
the uconfig.sh using your *current* Perl so that your microperl has
the correct basic types and sizes and byteorder.
