5.29.1. Installation of Perl
Prepare Perl for compilation:
sh Configure -des -Dprefix=/tools -Dlibs=-lm -Uloclibpth -Ulocincpth
sh Configure -des -Dprefix=/tools -Dlibs=-lm -Uloclibpth -Ulocincpth
The meaning of the Configure options:
-des
This is a combination of three options: -d uses defaults for all items; -e ensures completion of all tasks; -s silences non-essential output.
-Uloclibpth amd -Ulocincpth
These entries undefine variables that cause the configuration to search for locally installed components that may exist on the host system.
Build the package:
make
make
Although Perl comes with a test suite, it would be better to wait until it is installed in the next chapter. Only a few of the utilities and libraries need to be installed at this time:
cp -v perl cpan/podlators/scripts/pod2man /tools/bin mkdir -pv /tools/lib/perl5/5.30.0
cp -Rv lib/* /tools/lib/perl5/5.30.0
cp -v perl cpan/podlators/scripts/pod2man /tools/bin mkdir -pv /tools/lib/perl5/5.30.0
cp -Rv lib/* /tools/lib/perl5/5.30.0
