I just rebuilt and tested perl-4.003 to test it: the only thing necessary is to use bsdcc as the compiler instead of cc (-O works fine). The compiler's complaints about empty files were about the empty version of perly.h used in the make depend process (unfortunately the compiler's error message leaves much to be desired. It made me think that perl.c was empty, which didn't make me very happy). The compiler also gave warnings about type mismatches in eval.c: ihand = signal(SIGINT, SIG_IGN); eval.c: qhand = signal(SIGQUIT, SIG_IGN); util.c: hstat = signal(SIGHUP, SIG_IGN); util.c: istat = signal(SIGINT, SIG_IGN); util.c: qstat = signal(SIGQUIT, SIG_IGN); Perhaps some casts are needed (things seem to work correctly, but some compilers may be more picky than mine). -- Victor S.
