  67 <h2><a name="nonthreaded_perl_on_dg_ux">Non-threaded Perl on DG/UX</a></h2>
  68 <p>Just run ./Configure script from the top directory.
  69 Then give ``make'' to compile.</p>

  72 <h2><a name="threaded_perl_on_dg_ux">Threaded Perl on DG/UX</a></h2>
  73 <p>If you are using as compiler GCC-2.95.x <code>rev(DG/UX)</code>
  74 an easy solution for configuring perl in your DG/UX
  75 machine is to run the command:</p>
  76 <p>./Configure -Dusethreads -Duseithreads -Dusedevel -des</p>
  77 <p>This will automatically accept all the defaults and
  78 in particular /usr/local/ as installation directory.
  79 Note that GCC-2.95.x <code>rev(DG/UX)</code> knows the switch
  80 -pthread which allows it to link correctly DG/UX's
  81 -lthread library.</p>
  82 <p>If you want to change the installation directory or
  83 have a standard DG/UX with C compiler GCC-2.7.2.x
  84 then you have no choice than to do an interactive
  85 build by issuing the command:</p>
  86 <p>./Configure -Dusethreads -Duseithreads</p>
  87 <p>In particular with GCC-2.7.2.x accept all the defaults
  88 and *watch* out for the message:</p>
  89 <pre>
  90     Any additional ld flags (NOT including libraries)? [ -pthread]</pre>
  91 <p>Instead of -pthread put here -lthread. CGCC-2.7.2.x
  92 that comes with the DG/UX OS does NOT know the -pthread
  93 switch. So your build will fail if you choose the defaults.
  94 After configuration is done correctly give ``make'' to compile.</p>
  95 <p>

  97 <h2><a name="testing_perl_on_dg_ux">Testing Perl on DG/UX</a></h2>
  98 <p>Issuing a ``make test'' will run all the tests.
  99 If the test lib/ftmp-security gives you as a result
 100 something like</p>
 101 <pre>
 102     lib/ftmp-security....File::Temp::_gettemp:
 103     Parent directory (/tmp/) is not safe (sticky bit not set
 104     when world writable?) at lib/ftmp-security.t line 100</pre>
 105 <p>don't panic and just set the sticky bit in your /tmp
 106 directory by doing the following as root:</p>
 107 <p>cd /
 108 chmod +t /tmp (=set the sticky bit to /tmp).</p>
 109 <p>Then rerun the tests. This time all must be OK.</p>
