  89                   <h3>Porting Perl -> LOS178 3.0.0</h3>
  90
  91 <p>I was asked to attempt to port Perl (latest version - 5.8.7) to LOS178 (latest version - 3.0.0 20050719). Here's what I attempted:</p>
  92
  93 <ul>
  94   <li>Downloaded perl-5.8.7 from perl.com (http://www.perl.com/download.csp#stable)</li>
  95
  96   <li>Extracted to europa:/build/perl-5.8.7</li>
  97
  98   <li>Extracted from 20050719:
  99
 100   <ul>
 101     <li>3000-04.los178_rsc_src.tar.gz</li>
 102
 103     <li>3001-05.los178_src.tar.gz</li>
 104
 105     <li>3013-05.los178_dev.tar.gz</li>
 106
 107     <li>3015-04.los178_rsc_dev.tar.gz</li>
 108   </ul>
 109
 110   to /build/3.0.0/los178</li>
 111
 112   <li>Extracted ppc.cdklinux.tar.gz from bin-image (DEV_LOS178_3p0p0_ppc_20050719)</li>
 113
 114   <li>Sourced SETUP.bash</li>
 115 </ul>
 116
 117 <p>Next I went to /build/perl-5.8.7 and ran Configure. I was supprised to see that it had a selection for lynxos! Unfortunately this is not the way to go.</p>
 118
 119 <p>Spoke with Ed Mooring, who happens to be a Perl porter and who had previously ported Perl 5.6 to LynxOS 4.0. He suggested I attempt to run Configure natively on a LynxOS 4.0 machine to get config.sh to be generated. I could then use that in conjunction with reading about the <i>Perl Patch Pumpkin</i> (Apparently a guide about patching and porting) in an attempt to figure out what needs to be done to that config.sh to get a cross build to LOS178 3.0.0. (Note that I used a LynxOS 5.0 machine not a LynxOS 4.0 machine)</p>
 120
 121 <p>After going through the long Configure process and hopefully answering questions properly Ed said I should attempt a native build anyway. Build failed with:</p>
