I've been trying to integrate the latest perl into the book. In Chapter
5, we have traditionally built only the portion of perl needed later in
Chapter 6.
Now, coreutils needs a new function to build it's documentation,
AutoSplit. I tried a couple of things to add that to the pieces we
already built, but was not successful. The instructions we now use are:
1. sh Configure -des -Dprefix=/tools \
-Dstatic_ext='Data/Dumper Fcntl IO'
2. make perl utilities ext/Errno/pm_to_blib
3. cp -v perl pod/pod2man /tools/bin
4. mkdir -pv /tools/lib/perl5/5.12.3
5. cp -Rv lib/* /tools/lib/perl5/5.12.3
I have found that if I change this to
1. sh Configure -des -Dprefix=/tools
2. make
3. cp -v perl cpan/podlators/pod2man /tools/bin
4. mkdir -pv /tools/lib/perl5/5.14.1
5. cp -Rv lib/* /tools/lib/perl5/5.14.1
then all packages in the book build without complaint. The build time
does not seem to change a lot.
The change in line 3 is due to the new distribution, but the first 2
lines are the more significant. We build the whole distro, but still do
not do a complete `make install'.
Making this change will also need some changes to the explanation in the
perl section of Chapter 5.
Does anyone see a problem with this?
