  41 <h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
  42 <p>This document describes various features of Linux that will affect how Perl
  43 version 5 (hereafter just Perl) is compiled and/or runs.</p>
  44 <p>
  45 </p>
  46 <h2><a name="experimental_support_for_sun_studio_compilers_for_linux_os">Experimental Support for Sun Studio Compilers for Linux OS</a></h2>
  47 <p>Sun Microsystems has released a port of their Sun Studio compiliers for
  48 Linux.  As of November 2005, only an alpha version has been released.
  49 Until a release of these compilers is made, support for compiling Perl with
  50 these compiler experimental.</p>
  51 <p>Also, some special instructions for building Perl with Sun Studio on Linux.
  52 Following the normal <code>Configure</code>, you have to run make as follows:</p>
  53 <pre>
  54     LDLOADLIBS=-lc make</pre>
  55 <p><code>LDLOADLIBS</code> is an environment variable used by the linker to link modules
  56 <code>/ext</code> modules to glibc.  Currently, that environment variable is not getting
  57 populated by a combination of <code>Config</code> entries and <code>ExtUtil::MakeMaker</code>.
  58 While there may be a bug somewhere in Perl's configuration or
  59 <code>ExtUtil::MakeMaker</code> causing the problem, the most likely cause is an
  60 incomplete understanding of Sun Studio by this author.  Further investigation
  61 is needed to get this working better.</p>
