# QNX hints
#
# Most of the hints in this file are for QNX4, which needed
# more help. The QNX6 hints are located toward the bottom.
#
# perl-5.7.3 passes all tests under QNX4.24G
#  Watcom 10.6 with Beta/970211.wcc.update.tar.F
#  socket3r.lib Nov21 1996.
# perl-5.7.3 fails 2 known tests under QNX6.1.0
#
# As with many unix ports, this one depends on a few "standard"
# unix utilities which are not necessarily standard for QNX4.
#
# /bin/sh  This is used heavily by Configure and then by
#          perl itself. QNX4's version is fine, but Configure
#          will choke on the 16-bit version, so if you are
#          running QNX 4.22, link /bin/sh to /bin32/ksh
# ar       This is the standard unix library builder.
#          We use wlib. With Watcom 10.6, when wlib is
#          linked as "ar", it behaves like ar and all is
#          fine. Under 9.5, a cover is required. One is
#          included in ../qnx
# nm       This is used (optionally) by configure to list
#          the contents of libraries. I will generate
#          a cover function on the fly in the UU directory.
# cpp      Configure and perl need a way to invoke a C
#          preprocessor. I have created a simple cover
#          for cc which does the right thing. Without this,
#          Configure will create its own wrapper which works,
#          but it doesn't handle some of the command line arguments
#          that perl will throw at it.
# make     You really need GNU make to compile this. GNU make
#          ships by default with QNX 4.23, but you can get it
#          from quics for earlier versions.
#----------------------------------------------------------------
# Outstanding Issues for QNX4:
#   There is no support for dynamically linked libraries in
#   QNX4.
#
#   If you wish to compile with the Socket extension, you need
#   to have the TCP/IP toolkit, and you need to make sure that
#   -lsocket locates the correct copy of socket3r.lib. Beware
#   that the Watcom compiler ships with a stub version of
#   socket3r.lib which has very little functionality. Also
#   beware the order in which wlink searches directories for
#   libraries. You may have /usr/lib/socket3r.lib pointing to
#   the correct library, but wlink may pick up
#   /usr/watcom/10.6/usr/lib/socket3r.lib instead. Make sure
#   they both point to the correct library, that is,
#   /usr/tcptk/current/usr/lib/socket3r.lib.
# 
#   ext/Cwd/Cwd.t will complain if `pwd` and cwd don't give
#   the same results. cwd calls `fullpath -t`, so if you
#   cd `fullpath -t` before running the test, it will
#   pass.
#
#   lib/File/Find/taint.t will complain if '.' is in your
#   PATH. The PATH test is triggered because cwd calls
#   `fullpath -t`.
#
#   ext/IO/lib/IO/t/io_sock.t: Subtest 14 is skipped due to
#   the fact that the functionality to read back the non-blocking
#   status of a socket is not implemented in QNX's TCP/IP. This
#   has been reported to QNX and it may work with later versions
#   of TCP/IP.
#
# Older issues:
#   lib/posix.t test failed on test 17 because acos(1) != 0.
#      Resolved in 970211 Beta
#   lib/io_udp.t test hangs because of a bug in getsockname().
#      Fixed in latest BETA socket3r.lib
#----------------------------------------------------------------
# Outstanding Issues for QNX6:
#  The following tests are still failing as of 5.7.3:
#
#   op/sprintf.........................FAILED at test 91
#   lib/Benchmark......................FAILED at test 26
#
# This is due to a bug in the C library's printf routine.
# printf("'%e'", 0. ) produces '0.000000e+0', but ANSI requires
# '0.000000e+00'. QNX has acknowledged the bug and it should be
# fixed in 6.2.0.
