Perl-5.34.0

Reference: 8.41. Perl-5.34.0. First apply a patch to fix all related occurrences of  /bin/sh  and  /dev/null  (and a few dev's more):

patch -Np1 -i perl-5.34.0-qlnx-1-20220208.patch

Apply a patch to fix an issue with gdbm:

patch -Np1 -i /_sources/_patches/perl-5.34.0-upstream_fixes-1.patch

Apply a patch to fix some more source files accordingly to qLinux:

patch -Np1 -i perl-5.34.0-qlnx-1-20220208.patch

Now configure the package:

export BUILD_ZLIB=False
export BUILD_BZIP2=0
sh Configure -des -Dcc=gcc \
             -Dprefix=/plng \
             -Dvendorprefix=/plng \
             -Dprivlib=/plng/lib/perl \
             -Darchlib=/plng/lib/perl \
             -Dsitelib=/plng/lib/perl \
             -Dsitearch=/plng/lib/perl \
             -Dvendorlib=/plng/lib/perl/vendor \
             -Dvendorarch=/plng/lib/perl/vendor \
             -Dman1dir=/plng/man/man1 \
             -Dman3dir=/plng/man/man3 \
             -Dpager="/qlnx/bin/less -isR" \
             -Duseshrplib \
             -Dusethreads

-Dcc=gcc
    The build system searches for  cc  as the compiler name by default. Because there is no  cc  this have to be given explicitly.

Compile perl:

make

If desired run the testsuite. Some test will fail, usually this could be ignored right now:

make test

Install¹⁾ the package:

make DESTDIR=/plng/pkg/perl install
mv -v /plng/pkg/perl/plng /plng/pkg/perl/5.34.0

Extend the PATH environment variable with  /plng/bin  if required an unset the BUILD variables:

unset BUILD_ZLIB BUILD_BZIP2
