- Subject: Fixes for Perl 4.019 on NCR Tower V.3
- Date: 17 Feb 92 16:41:30 GMT

-
- Here are the fixes needed to make perl 4.019 on the NCR Tower V.3 system.
- I have bundled this as a shar file: feed everything below the CUT line
- to /bin/sh.
-
- The file hints/ncr_tower.sh fixes several problems. It replaces the
- standard copy thereof. Note that I use perl's malloc. Note also
- that I have turned the optimizer completely off (-O0). Optimizing
- at -O1 or -O2 produces some errors that the test suite doesn't catch.
- (Problems with alloca() and setjmp/longjmp, I think.) It should be
- possible to optimize some modules but I haven't experimented with this.
-
- [NOTE: this hints file is already installed--lwall]
-
- I'm don't know if mkdir(2) works: I've left it undef'ed. It is certainly
- broken in V.2. If you need fast mkdir's you may want to experiment with
- this.
-
- The file patch.twg fixes a stupidity in /usr/netinclude/sys/time.h.
- You'll need this if you have WIN-TCP; you can't use it if you don't
- have WIN-TCP. If needed, apply this patch *before* running Configure.
-
- Make sure you tell Configure that any config.sh it finds is to be ignored.
-
- After running Configure and make depend, edit config.h so that
- the CPPSTDIN definition has DEFAULT_CPP=/dev/null prepended. It should
- look this this:
-
- #define CPPSTDIN "DEFAULT_CPP=/dev/null cc -E"
-
- This must be done by hand after running "make depend" and before running
- make. I was unable to encode this into the hints file.
-
- This resulting perl should pass all tests.

- XThe following patch fixes /usr/netinclude/sys/time.h on the Tower V.3.
- XPulling in <sys/time.h> with -I/usr/inetinclude makes a mess unless
- Xthe <sys/twg_config.h> file is pulled in, too. It's stupid that an
- Xapplication (e.g., perl) should have to do this. Thus, I fixed
- Xthe system header file. The alternative is to make each application
- Xget the header file itself. (The #if allows the application to do
- Xit, though, for compatibility with existing applications.)
- X
- XTo apply this patch, chdir to /usr/netinclude/sys and run
- X patch <this_file
- X
- XIf the patch fails, fix the file by hand. All I've done is put
- X#ifndef HDEF
- X /* Len Reed 5/6/91 -- pulling in <sys/time.h> shouldn't cause
- X HDEF to blow up the compile--auto pull in its defining file.
- X */
- X# include <sys/twg_config.h>
- X#endif

- Xbefore HDEF is used.
