[PATCH: perl@8506]completion and docs for dynamic loading on OS/390
Message ID:
Pine.OSF.4.10.10101241706120.411912-100000@aspara.forte.com
Hi,
The enclosed patch completes dynamic loading for OS/390. I've tested
this with a `make install` and a successful build of OS390::Stdio v 0.003
in the resultant installation tree. I found that for a few of the
critical $(CC) and $(LD) command lines in the Makefile I've had to switch
to the "$(CC) -o output_file $other_args" idiom rather than the
"$(CC) $some_args -o output_file $more_args" usage. Since Configure was
modified a few years ago to follow the former style (allegedly POSIX
required and helpful for some POSIX on non POSIX systems e.g. Wind/U?)
I think this is fairly safe. I have tested it as OK with GNU make on
OS/390, GNU make on Tru64 and system supplied /bin/make on AIX. Perhaps
more testing on other platforms would be prudent.
Note the installperl hack to modify lib/Config.pm prior to its
installation. This patch does not attempt to clean up the resultant
lib/Config.pmbak file but it will only occur on OS/390 and leaving it
hanging around in the build tree may prove helpful for debugging customer
complaints about dynaloading :-)
Have fun.
