Synopsis

This document can be read as is: as README.uts, or you can
read it after you build your package using "man perluts".

The purpose is to help you build Perl for UTS, which, if you
follow these instructions, should be easy, and result in a
solidly working installation.

NAME
     perluts - Perl under UTS

SYNOPSIS
     This document can be read as is: as README.uts, or you can
     read it after you build your package using "man perluts".

     The purpose is to help you build Perl for UTS, which, if you
     follow these instructions, should be easy, and result in a
     solidly working installation.

DESCRIPTION
     Perl 5.7.2 (Developmental) or Perl 5.8.x (forthcoming) for
     UTS

BUILDING PERL ON UTS
     NOTE: Some sites have redefined the way uname works, and if
     yours does this, special steps must be taken so that
     Configure can recognize your system as a UTS system.  To see
     if you are in this category, issue the command "uname -a".
     It should look something like:

       uts juno 4 4.4 9672 370

     At any rate, the first field should be "uts".  If this is
     not the case; supposing it is, say telcoUTS, create a
     script, uts/uname (i.e. uname, in the subdirectory "uts" of
     the main Perl source dir):
        # uname
        /usr/bin/uname "$@" | sed -e 's/^telcoUTS/uts/'

     and when you execute Configure, do it as below, except for
     adding PATH=uts:$PATH as a prefix.  I.e. do:

        PATH=uts:$PATH ./Configure ...

     There is no need to do an interactive configure, just type

       ./Configure -de [-Dusedevel] [-Doptimize=-g ] 2>&1 | tee Conf.out

     "-Dusedevel" may be required to configure Perl 5.7.2 non-
     interactively.  Use -Doptimize=-g if you want to run Perl
     under sdb or gdb, OR if you want to be able to use the -D
     command line flags to perl, which are occasionally useful in
     debugging perl scripts.

     In this and the following steps, the "2>&1 | tee XXX.out"
     records all output from the process, which will be useful if
     anything unexpected goes wrong.

     Then do the compilation with

       make 2>&1 | tee make.out

     Finally, test using

       make test 2>&1 | tee make-test.out

     In the output, the only failures you should see should look
     like:

        lib/Math/BigInt/t/bigfltpm.........Use of uninitialized value ...
        FAILED at test 57
        lib/Math/BigInt/t/bigintc..........ok
        lib/Math/BigInt/t/bigintpm.........FAILED at test 204
        lib/Math/BigInt/t/mbimbf...........Use of uninitialized value ...
        Illegal division by zero at ../lib/Math/BigInt/Calc.pm line 314.
        FAILED at test 71
        lib/Math/Complex...................exp: OVERFLOW
        FAILED at test 250
        lib/Math/Trig......................exp: OVERFLOW
        ok
        lib/Memoize/t/array................ok
             ...
        lib/Net/protoent...................ok
        lib/Net/servent....................FAILED at test 0

     This means that everything passes except for some problems
     in the packages "Math::BigInt", "Math::Complex", and
     "Math::Trig".  The lib/Net/servent failure seems to be a bug
     in the test program.  To confirm this, from the main Perl
     source dir, do:

        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd` ./perl -Ilib lib/Net/servent.t

     and it should output

        1..3
        ok 1
        ok 2
        ok 3

Installing the built perl on UTS
     Run the command "make install"
