Re: More 5.8.0 / Jaguar / Fink madness

[Ray Zimmerman]

Steve,

I'm going to avoid giving any more opinions on what you should be trying to install, seems like you've already got plenty of them :-)

Let me just say, I have a clean install of Jaguar and I was able to install perl 5.8, get Fink installed and working (which I used successfully to install mysql), and build an apache/mod_perl that works (not as DSO, though). I haven't yet used CPAN, but I'm sure that can be made to work too.

Here are the notes I made for my co-workers who will need to set up his new machine this week ... my sources are in ~/dist and building is done in ~/build.


Perl
----

setenv LC_ALL C
(put the above line in .cshrc and restart Terminal)
cd ~/build
tar zxvf ../dist/perl-5.8.0.tar.gz
cd perl-5.8.0
./Configure -de -Dprefix=/usr/local/perl-5.8.0 \
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
make
make test
sudo make install


Fink
----

open Fink-0.5.0a-Installer.dmg
open Fink 0.5.0a Installer.pkg and follow directions
add ...
source /sw/bin/init.csh
... to top of .cshrc file
quit and restart Terminal
sudo mv /sw/lib/perl5/darwin/Storable.pm /tmp
sudo mv /sw/lib/perl5/darwin/auto/Storable /tmp
(see http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg02447.html)



Apache/mod_perl
---------------

cd ~/build
tar zxvf ../dist/apache_1.3.27.tar.gz
tar zxvf ../dist/mod_perl-1.27.tar.gz
cd mod_perl-1.27
perl Makefile.PL APACHE_SRC=../src/apache_1.3.27/src \
DO_HTTPD=1 USE_APACI=1 PREP_HTTPD=1 EVERYTHING=1
make
sudo make install

cd ../apache_1.3.27
./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local/apache/1.3.27 \
--with-layout=Apache \
--enable-module=so \
--enable-module=info \
--enable-module=proxy \
--activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a \
--without-execstrip
sudo make install
cd ../mod_perl-1.27
make test


I hope this helps somebody ...
