%general-entities; ]> Temporary Perl-&perl-version; Perl temporary tools Installation of Perl First adapt some hard-wired paths to the C library by applying the following patch: patch -Np1 -i ../&perl-libc-patch; ./configure.gnu --prefix=/tools -Dstatic_ext='Data/Dumper IO Fcntl POSIX' -Dcc="gcc" The meaning of the configure option: -Dstatic_ext='Data/Dumper IO Fcntl POSIX' This tells Perl to build the minimum set of static extensions needed for installing and testing the Coreutils package in the next chapter. Now we are ready to make our perl utilities: make perl utilities Install these tools and their libraries: cp perl pod/pod2man /tools/bin install -d /tools/lib/perl5/&perl-version; cp -R lib/* /tools/lib/perl5/&perl-version; <para>Details on this package are located in <xref linkend="contents-perl" role="."/></para> </sect2> </sect1>
