NAME
README.riscos - Perl version 5 for RISC OS
DESCRIPTION
This document gives instructions for building Perl for RISC OS. It is
complicated by the need to cross compile. There is a binary version of
perl available from <http://www.cp15.org/perl/> which you may wish to
use instead of trying to compile it yourself.
BUILD
You need an installed and working gccsdk cross compiler
<http://gccsdk.riscos.info/> and REXEN
<http://www.cp15.org/programming/>
Firstly, copy the source and build a native copy of perl for your host
system.
Then, in the source to be cross compiled:
- *
-
$ ./Configure
- *
-
Select the riscos hint file. The default answers for the rest of the
questions are usually sufficient.
Note that, if you wish to run Configure non-interactively (see the INSTALL
document for details), to have it select the correct hint file, you'll
need to provide the argument -Dhintfile=riscos on the Configure
command-line.
- *
-
$ make miniperl
- *
-
This should build miniperl and then fail when it tries to run it.
- *
-
Copy the miniperl executable from the native build done earlier to
replace the cross compiled miniperl.
- *
-
$ make
- *
-
This will use miniperl to complete the rest of the build.
