On July 29 I successfully built Perl 6 from the Rakudo Star
distribution on two Linux/i386 boxes. However, I experienced
failures during 'make' on Darwin/PPC, notwithstanding the fact that I
have been able to build Perl 6 on top of Parrot on this same machine
in the past. The output of a typical build run is attached.
In each attempt, when 'make' reached this point:
/Users/jimk/work/rstar/rakudo-star-2010.07/install/bin/parrot src/
gen/perl6.pbc --target=pir \
src/gen/core.pm > src/gen/core.pir
... it hung indefinitely -- and by indefinitely I mean that I let it
sit for nearly an hour before killing the process. (I let it go that
long because, from my previous experience, I knew that compiling
perl6 would take a long time on this iBook G4.)
I took the following steps in debugging the problem:
1. I made sure that the underlying Parrot was okay.
Actually, at first it was not. When I ran Parrot's 'make test', I
discovered that the tests in t/pmc/packfile*.t were failing. But
this was not surprising, because when Parrot 2.6.0 was released we
discovered that these tests were failing on Darwin/PPC. As I did for
Parrot, I ran Parrot's tools/dev/mk_packfile_pbc which updated three
of the .pbc files, after which the t/pmc/packfile*.t tests ran
correctly. But this did not ultimately enable me to succeed in
building Rakudo.
I also examined the 'myconfig' and 'lib/Parrot/Config/Generated.pm'
which came from the Parrot part of the build. They differed in no
material respects from the same files I get when I configure Parrot
from HEAD every day of the week.
2. I built the underlying Parrot the way I customarily build Parrot
on this machine.
Back in 2006, when I joined the Parrot project, I was having trouble
getting Parrot to build on this box. At Will Coleda's suggestion, I
explicitly set certain command-line options and was thereafter always
able to configure and build successfully. Yesterday, when I first
attempted to build on this box, I followed the Rakudo Star README and
simply called 'perl Configure.pl --gen-parrot'. When Perl 6
subsequently failed to build, I figured I'd revert to my customary
options. So I wrapped Rakudo Star's Configure.pl in this shell script:
#!/bin/sh
echo "MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET is $MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET"
/usr/local/bin/perl Configure.pl \
--gen-parrot \
--gen-parrot-option='--cc=/usr/bin/gcc' \
--gen-parrot-option='--cxx=/usr/bin/g++' \
--gen-parrot-option='--link=/usr/bin/g++' \
--gen-parrot-option='--ld=/usr/bin/g++' \
--gen-parrot-option='--configure_trace' \
$@
But, once again, Rakudo's 'make' ultimately halted at the same location.
It should be noted that I *have* built Perl 6 on top of Parrot on
this box in the past. As a matter of fact, I led a workshop with
that as its objective at YAPC in Chicago in 2008. But, for lack of
tuits, I have not attempted to keep up with Rakudo development in the
past two years. I would like Rakudo Star to work, mainly because it
will be my first real opportunity to learn Perl 6.
Thank you very much.

You can now use 'make' to build Rakudo Perl.
After that, you can use 'make test' to run some local tests,
or 'make spectest' to check out (via svn) a copy of the Perl 6
official test suite and run its tests.
