Hi, at YAPC::EU vaxman.de bugged me to try and build Parrot on VMS. As all I had with me was an emulated VAX on my WinXP notebook (running VMS 7.3 and DEC C 6.0), I used that.
First I needed some time to build/test perl 5.8.8, but I think I have it running now. Then I set out to Configure.pl Parrot... Please see my findings in the attached patch file. I'm sure config/init/hints/vms.pm will see more tweaks before I'm through. Bear with me on the VMSish filenames; "xxx;1" is the original version, "xxx;" is the patched version of the file. At the moment pmc file generation aborts (probably due to an empty PMC list) - I'm looking into it. cu, Martin -- O Lord, won't you buy me | Martin Vorlaender | OpenVMS rules! an HP OS | work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] its name starts with "Open" | http://www.pdv-systeme.de/users/martinv/ and ends in "VMS" ... | home: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
