perlnetware
Description
This file gives instructions for building Perl 5.7 and
above, and also Perl modules for NetWare. Before you
start, you may want to read the README file found in the
top level directory into which the Perl source code dis
tribution was extracted. Make sure you read and understand
the terms under which the software is being distributed.
Build
This section describes the steps to be performed to build
a Perl NLM and other associated NLMs.
Tools & SDK
The build requires CodeWarrior compiler and linker. In
addition, the "NetWare SDK", "NLM & NetWare Libraries for
C" and "NetWare Server Protocol Libraries for C", all
available at <http://developer.novell.com/ndk/>, are also
required. Microsoft Visual C++ version 4.2 or later is
also required.
Setup
The build process is dependent on the location of the Net
Ware SDK. Once the Tools & SDK are installed, the build
environment has to be setup. The following batch files
setup the environment.
SetNWBld.bat
The Execution of this file takes 2 parameters as
input. The first being the NetWare SDK path, second
being the path for CodeWarrior Compiler & tools. Exe
cution of this file sets these paths and also sets the
build type to Release by default.
Buildtype.bat
This is used to set the build type to debug or
release. Change the build type only after executing
SetNWBld.bat
* Example:
1. Typing "buildtype d on" at the command prompt
causes the buildtype
to be set to Debug type with D2 flag set.
2. Typing "buildtype d off" or "buildtype d" at the
command prompt causes
the buildtype to be set to Debug type with D1
flag set.
2. Typing "buildtype r" at the command prompt sets
it to Release Build type.
Make
· USE_MULTI, USE_ITHREADS & USE_IMP_SYS defined
· USE_MULTI & USE_IMP_SYS defined and USE_ITHREADS not
defined
Interpreter
Once miniperl.exe creation is over, run nmake from the
NetWare folder. This will build the Perl interpreter for
NetWare as perl.nlm. This is copied under the Release
folder if you are doing a release build, else will be
copied under Debug folder for debug builds.
Extensions
The make process also creates the Perl extensions as
<Extension.nlm>
Install
To install NetWare Perl onto a NetWare server, first map
the Sys volume of a NetWare server to i:. This is because
the makefile by default sets the drive letter to i:. Type
nmake nwinstall from NetWare folder on a WinNT command
prompt. This will copy the binaries and module files onto
the NetWare server under sys:\Perl folder. The Perl inter
preter, perl.nlm, is copied under sys:\perl\system folder.
Copy this to sys:\system folder.
Example: At the command prompt Type "nmake nwinstall".
This will install NetWare Perl on the NetWare
Server.
Similiarly if you type "nmake install",
This will cause the binaries to be installed on
the local machine.
(Typically under the c:\perl folder)
Build new extensions
To build extensions other than standard extensions, Net
Ware Perl has to be installed on Windows along with Win
dows Perl. The Perl for Windows can be either downloaded
from the CPAN site and built using the sources, or the
binaries can be directly downloaded from the ActiveState
site. Installation can be done by invoking nmake install
from the NetWare folder on a WinNT command prompt after
building NetWare Perl by following steps given above.
This will copy all the *.pm files and other required
files. Documentation files are not copied. Thus one must
first install Windows Perl, Then install NetWare Perl.
Once this is done, do the following to build any exten
sion:
· nmake
· nmake install
Install will copy the files into the Windows machine
where NetWare Perl is installed and these files may
have to be copied to the NetWare server manually.
Alternatively, pass INSTALLSITELIB=i:\perl\lib as an
input to makefile.pl above. Here i: is the mapped
drive to the sys: volume of the server where Perl on
NetWare is installed. Now typing nmake install, will
copy the files onto the NetWare server.
Example: You can execute the following on the command
prompt.
perl -Ic:/perl/5.6.1/lib/NetWare-x86-multi-thread -Ic:\perl\5.6.1\lib MakeFile.pl
INSTALLSITELIB=i:\perl\lib
or
perl -Ic:/perl/5.8.0/lib/NetWare-x86-multi-thread -Ic:\perl\5.8.0\lib MakeFile.pl
INSTALLSITELIB=i:\perl\lib
· Note: Some modules downloaded from CPAN may require
NetWare related API in order to build on NetWare.
Other modules may however build smoothly with or with
out minor changes depending on the type of module.
Acknowledgements
The makefile for Win32 is used as a reference to create
the makefile for NetWare. Also, the make process for Net
Ware port uses miniperl.exe to run scripts during the make
and installation process.
