%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 IO Fcntl POSIX' part of the command correct—they are all letters): ./configure.gnu --prefix=/tools -Dstatic_ext='Data/Dumper IO Fcntl POSIX' -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 in the next chapter. Only a few of the utilities contained in this package need to be built: make perl utilities Although Perl comes with a test suite, it is not recommended to run it at this point. Only part of Perl was built and running make test now will cause the rest of Perl to be built as well, which is unnecessary at this point. The test suite can be run in the next chapter if desired. Install these tools and their libraries: cp perl pod/pod2man /tools/bin install -d /tools/lib/perl5/&perl-version; cp -R lib/* /tools/lib/perl5/&perl-version;
