%general-entities; ]> Perl temporary tools First adapt some hard-wired paths to the C library by applying the following patch: patch -Np1 -i ../&perl-libc-patch; Prepare Perl for compilation (make sure to get the 'Data/Dumper Fcntl IO POSIX' part of the command correct—they are all letters): ./configure.gnu --prefix=/tools -Dstatic_ext='Data/Dumper IO Fcntl POSIX' -Dcc="gcc" -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 later in this chapter. Now we are ready to make our perl utilities: make perl utilities Install these tools and their libraries: cp -v perl pod/pod2man /tools/bin install -dv /tools/lib/perl5/&perl-version; cp -Rv lib/* /tools/lib/perl5/&perl-version; Finally, create a necessary symlink: ln -sv /tools/bin/perl /usr/bin
