Re: Installing ARSperl

[Jeff M. <jcm...@sm...>]

i was able to build perl5.001 under "IRIX 5.2 02282016 IP22 mips"
with dynamic loading. when the Configure script asked what sort of
dynamic loading to use, choose "ext/DynaLoader/dlopen.xs" (i think that
is the path.. definately choose "dlopen.xs").

after that i was able to to a "perl Makefile.PL" and compile ARSperl to
an object file. since i dont have libar.a for irix, i was unable to test
it further. however, it did appear to compile without problems. 

i only had to add this to the DEFINE='' line in "Makefile.PL":

	'DEFINE' => '-D_SVR4_SOURCE -U_POSIX_SOURCE -U_XOPEN_SOURCE'

and add

	#include <string.h>

right beneathe "#include <stdio.h>" in ARS.xs (this should have been there
for the standard distribution.. which I just updated, since Solaris uses
string.h as well).

try compiling perl5.001 and then do the ARSperl installation.. it *should*
work..
