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.
