5.2 How do I make perl on HP-UX?
Reply like this to Configure:
1. When it asks for optimization flags answer
+O1 if you have HP-UX 7.05 or less
-O if you have HP-UX 8.0 or later.
2. When it asks for additional flags to cc answer
-DJMPCLOBBER
3. When it asks for additional libraries answer
-lndbm -lm (ignore the other libraries Configure finds).
You can also safely add -lBSD if you want BSD signal semantics.
4. When it asks if you want to use perl's malloc answer
y
If you have HP-UX 8.07 or later you may choose to answer no to this
since that malloc is OK.
5. When perl asks on which boundary a double must be aligned answer
8 if you are on a 9000/800 or 9000/700 series machine (HP-PA
architecture).
2 otherwise (Motorola 68k architecture)
NOTE: That an already compiled version of Perl 5.000 can be found on the
Liverpool archive and its mirrors.
