<para>If you want full control over the way Perl is set up, you can run the
|
|
interactive <command>Configure</command> script and hand-pick the way this
|
|
package is built. If, however, you guess you can live with the (sensible)
|
|
defaults it auto-detects, then prepare Perl for compilation with:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>./configure.gnu --prefix=/usr -Dpager="/bin/less -isR"</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>The meaning of the configure option:</para>
|
|
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem><para><userinput>-Dpager="/bin/less -isR"</userinput>: This corrects
|
|
an error in the perldoc code with the invocation of the less
|
|
program.</para></listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
<para>Compile the package:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>make</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>This package has a test suite available which can perform a number of
|
|
checks to ensure it built correctly. Should you choose to run it, you first
|
|
have to create a basic <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> file, needed by a
|
|
couple of tests to resolve the name <emphasis>localhost</emphasis>:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>echo "127.0.0.1 localhost $(hostname)" > /etc/hosts</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>Now run the tests, if you wish:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>make test</userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>And install the package:</para>
|
|
|
|
<screen><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>
