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:
o
$ ./Configure
o 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.
o
$ make miniperl
o This should build miniperl and then fail when it tries
to run it.
o Copy the miniperl executable from the native build done
earlier to replace the cross compiled miniperl.
o
$ make
o This will use miniperl to complete the rest of the
build.
