%general-entities; ]> Perl-&perl-version; Perl temporary tools, 32 Bit Installation of Perl We need a working Perl to build glibc and test coreutils, it doesn't matter whether this is a 32-bit or a 64-bit program. But, the perl configure process knows nothing about multilib and assumes it will be installed in a 'lib' directory. Using the same patch as for non-multilib systems we can easily install into /tools/lib. Installing successfully into a different directory such as /tools/lib64 would require more effort (compare how we install Perl in the final system) for no real gain. On this multilib system, /tools/lib is where we install 32-bit libraries, so for consistency we will build a 32-bit Perl here. ./configure.gnu --prefix=/tools -Dstatic_ext='Data/Dumper IO Fcntl POSIX' \ -Dcc="gcc ${BUILD32}" <para>Details on this package are located in <xref linkend="contents-perl" role="."/></para> </sect2> </sect1>
