Working TOOLSRC build procedure for RedHat 8.0

[Jan Hlavatý]

Hi list,

Looks like I've made it work! I can now build current SAPDB's development environment from scratch on RedHat 8.0.

Here is a summary of a few tweaks to the sources of build environment (CVS version as of today) needed:

- in TOOLSRC/sys/desc/bison.mac, line 74, replace:

rm $TOOL/gnu/bin/bison;
with:
rm -f $TOOL/gnu/bin/bison;

to avoid prompt during build process;

- in TOOLSRC/sys/desc/alltools.mac,

line:

::tt/cpan/SAPDB/Install/xs.mac

should be moved right above line (near the beginning):

ToolLib.pm.tt

to solve dependancy problem;

- in TOOLSRC/sys/src/tt/toolvars-tml.pl.tt, line 96, replace the copyright character (0xA9) with (C) sequence to avoid problems with Perl on systems with UTF-8 locale installed (like RedHat 8.0);

- to avoid another chicken-egg problem, instead of just running make,
build like this:

$ ./configure
$ make base basescripts
$ cp sys/src/APODev/lcmake.pm lib/perl5
$ mkdir lib/perl5/Mail
$ cp sys/src/Perl/Mail/Sendmail.pm lib/perl5/Mail
$ make alltools checkRegistryDir

Now you should end up with freshly built development environment ;)

I hope that the above fixes can be incorporated into next version of TOOLSRC, and that solution to the last problem is found and implemented...

happy hacking,

Jan
