perl-5.8.1 debugging version available

perl-5.8.1 debugging version available

[Gerrit P. Haase]

Hallo,

Now after perl-5.8.1 was finally released, I've made a debugging
version available at first.  This will not be distributed via the
Cygwin mirrors and is not installable via setup.exe.

But you can fetch it from the CPAN mirror which is nearest to you:

  $CPAN/authors/id/G/GE/GERRIT/CHECKSUMS
  $CPAN/authors/id/G/GE/GERRIT/perl_debug-5.8.1-2.tar.bz2
  $CPAN/authors/id/G/GE/GERRIT/perl_debug-5.8.1-2-src.tar.bz2
  $CPAN/authors/id/G/GE/GERRIT/perl_debug-5.8.1-2-srctree.tar.bz2
  
where $CPAN is the mirror you select from the list of 238 mirrors
here:  http://www.cpan.org/SITES.html

Extract the perl_debug-5.8.1-2-srctree.tar.bz2 from the Cygwin root
directory, it will create a tree under /tmp/perl/...
Do the same with perl_debug-5.8.1-2.tar.bz2, it will install into
/usr/bin/..., /usr/lib/perl5/... and /usr/share/doc/perl-5.8.1/...

The perl_debug-5.8.1-2-src.tar.bz2 contains all the source packages
and scripts which are needed to rebuild from scratch.

This release is mainly for Nicholas Wourms and other Win98/Cygwin/Perl
users who reported problems with Cygwin Perl releases and who may be
interested in debugging the problems with Perl under Win98 like
systems.

Please try this first release of the final perl-5.8.1 and report back
if it works for you or not.

Some technical information:
It is compiled with gcc-3.3.1 under cygwin-1.5.5, linked against
libcrypt and libutil, some modules are linked against zlib, libdb4 and
libgdbm4, I used the latest binutils.

I'm interested in: i.e.
   - are your favourite modules building?
   - is it possible to build modules using e.g. gcc-3.2?
   - is it possible to run /usr/bin/cpan to install modules (i.e with
     Win98SE/WinME)?
   - your favourite topic here ...

Why do you need libutil?  everything in libutil (except for two internal 
symbols) is now part of newlib and is exported by cygwin...

00000000 T _forkpty
00000150 T _endusershell
00000050 T _getusershell
000000f0 T _setusershell
00000110 T _iruserok
00000000 T _ruserok
00000000 T _login_tty
00000084 T _logwtmp
00000000 T _revoke
0000000c T _openpty

I just took the defaults, Configure finds it an takes it into account.
I try to build without libutil, iff there are no failings in the
testsuite when building without libutil I make that the default.


Thanks for the hint.

Changed: perl-5.8.1 debugging version available

Hello,

After I learned now that ftp.cpan.org is a distributed server, you may
use these URLs to get it from your local mirror:

ftp://ftp.cpan.org/authors/id/G/GE/GERRIT/CHECKSUMS
ftp://ftp.cpan.org/authors/id/G/GE/GERRIT/perl_debug-5.8.1-2.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.cpan.org/authors/id/G/GE/GERRIT/perl_debug-5.8.1-2-src.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.cpan.org/authors/id/G/GE/GERRIT/perl_debug-5.8.1-2-srctree.tar.bz2
