10.48. Perl-5.20.0 32 Bit Libraries

10.48.1. Installation of Perl

By default, Perl's Compress::Raw::Zlib module builds and links against its own internal copy of Zlib. The following command will tell it to use the system-installed Zlib:

sed -i -e '/^BUILD_ZLIB/s/True/False/' \
       -e '/^INCLUDE/s,\./zlib-src,/usr/include,' \
       -e '/^LIB/s,\./zlib-src,/usr/lib,' \
       cpan/Compress-Raw-Zlib/config.in

Before starting to configure, create a basic /etc/hosts file which will be referenced by one of Perl's configuration files as well as used by the test suite:

echo "127.0.0.1 localhost $(hostname)" > /etc/hosts

To have full control over the way Perl is set up, you can run the interactive Configure script and hand-pick the way this package is built. If you prefer instead to use the defaults that Perl auto-detects, prepare Perl for compilation with:

./configure.gnu --prefix=/usr \
   -Dvendorprefix=/usr \
   -Dman1dir=/usr/share/man/man1 \
   -Dman3dir=/usr/share/man/man3 \
   -Dpager="/bin/less -isR" \
   -Dcc="gcc ${BUILD32}" \
   -Dusethreads -Duseshrplib

Compile the package:

make

To test the results, issue:

make test

Install the package:

make install

Add a suffix to the perl binary which will be used by the multiarch wrapper:

mv -v /usr/bin/perl{,-32}
mv -v /usr/bin/perl5.20.0{,-32}
