than ".so". The old extension conflicted with well-established
naming conventions for dynamically loadable modules.
The "clean" targets continue to remove ".so" files too, to deal with
old systems.
are installed in the same place as on 2.2.*; this will almost
certainly change in the future.
While I'm here, finish off the shared library brouhaha with miniperl.
1) Inspired by JB's finding of a hardcoded /usr/bin/ranlib in the
config files, these have been properly cleaned up and have
been personalised for FreeBSD, not MarkM.
2) Inspired by Peter, copying of the lib/ext etc dirs has been
replaced by a link farm.
3) Common code has been moved to a higher-level Makefile.inc.
This has been tested with a make -j8.
Remove the /usr/bin path to ranlib and just let the build environment
set the path. Running an aout version of ranlib on an elf library
is something we'd prefer not to do. I'm surprised that the build
didn't spit any errors when it did this. Shrug.
1) Fix up the NOSHARED stuff (bde)
2) Accomodate CFLAGS (vanilla)
3) Provide separate files for i386 and alpha (Doug Rabson)
In case 3, the supplied files were corrupted, but the concepts
sound enough, so I just copied what exists into
config.SH-{elf|aout}.{i386|alpha}. Alpha team, go ahead and do what
is necessary on config.SH-elf.alpha. :-)
(Tested by make -j12 buildworld on a 4-cpu SMP box).
Address (but not solve) ELF shareable objects causing perl to
dump core. (I have a heck of a lot to learn about ELF).
Lots of help by: bde, jkh, jb and others
