BUILDING PCRE ON STRATUS OPENVOS |
| 455 |
|
|
| 456 |
|
These notes on the port of PCRE to VOS (lightly edited) were supplied by |
| 457 |
|
Ashutosh Warikoo, whose email address has the local part awarikoo and the |
| 458 |
|
domain nse.co.in. The port was for version 7.9 in August 2009. |
| 459 |
|
|
| 460 |
|
1. Building PCRE |
| 461 |
|
|
| 462 |
|
I built pcre on OpenVOS Release 17.0.1at using GNU Tools 3.4a without any |
| 463 |
|
problems. I used the following packages to build PCRE: |
| 464 |
|
|
| 465 |
|
ftp://ftp.stratus.com/pub/vos/posix/ga/posix.save.evf.gz |
| 466 |
|
|
| 467 |
|
Please read and follow the instructions that come with these packages. To start |
| 468 |
|
the build of pcre, from the root of the package type: |
| 469 |
|
|
| 470 |
|
./build.sh |
| 471 |
|
|
| 472 |
|
2. Installing PCRE |
| 473 |
|
|
| 474 |
|
Once you have successfully built PCRE, login to the SysAdmin group, switch to |
| 475 |
|
the root user, and type |
| 476 |
|
|
| 477 |
|
[ !create_dir (master_disk)>usr --if needed ] |
| 478 |
|
[ !create_dir (master_disk)>usr>local --if needed ] |
| 479 |
|
!gmake install |
| 480 |
|
|
| 481 |
|
This installs PCRE and its man pages into /usr/local. You can add |
| 482 |
|
(master_disk)>usr>local>bin to your command search paths, or if you are in |
| 483 |
|
BASH, add /usr/local/bin to the PATH environment variable. |
| 484 |
|
|
| 485 |
|
4. Restrictions |
| 486 |
|
|
| 487 |
|
This port requires readline library optionally. However during the build I |
| 488 |
|
faced some yet unexplored errors while linking with readline. As it was an |
| 489 |
|
optional component I chose to disable it. |
| 490 |
|
|
| 491 |
|
5. Known Problems |
| 492 |
|
|
| 493 |
|
I ran a the test suite, but you will have to be your own judge of whether this |
| 494 |
|
command, and this port, suits your purposes. If you find any problems that |
| 495 |
|
appear to be related to the port itself, please let me know. Please see the |
| 496 |
|
build.log file in the root of the package also. |
| 497 |
|
|
| 498 |
