NOTES ON BUILDING TLPERL 2012 November update
BUILD PLATFORM
32-bits Windows 7 SP1 running under VirtualBox on
Linux.
GETTING THE PERL SOURCE
Release version:
I downloaded from CPAN: the latest stable Perl source 5.18.2
THE COMPILER
I found in the root of the distribution a file README.win32
containing compilation instructions, which listed both mingw32 from
mingw.org and the newer mingw64 from mingw-w64.sf.net as possible
compilers, the latter one also being packaged with Strawberry
Perl. I used this bundled mingw, but not the rest on SP. It includes
dmake.
BUILDING
I went to the win32 subdirectory of the Perl source. In makefile.mk
I adjusted relevant settings to my build environment. As in the
previous release, I turned off optimization to avoid some
intractable failures. In addition, to avoid some errors while
running the test suite, I applied a patch which I found at
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-perl/perl-5.18.0-add-missing-mingw-libs.patch

test : test-prep
[end of patch]
I compiled with
dmake
and installed with
dmake installbare
`installbare' omits the generation of html.
There were hard-coded paths in lib/Config.pm and
lib/Config_heavy.pl, which were likely to cause problems.
I edited lib/Config.pm and lib/Config_heavy.pl to compute Perl's
location dynamically. To both I add the code
my $rootdir = __FILE__;
$rootdir =~ s![\\/][^\\/]*[\\/][^\\/]*$!!;
$rootdir =~ s!/!\\!g;
and used this in Config.pm for the definition of %Config, taking
care to replace single-quoted strings with double-quoted ones and
escaping backslashes and other characters where necessary. I also
parameterized the location of the mingw compiler.
Config_heavy.pl got a similar treatment, in particular the
single-quoted here-documents with markers !END! (very long) and
EOVIRTUAL.
The original versions are still present under the names Config.pm.orig
and Config_heavy.pl.orig.
When adding modules, I added the new Perl bin directory to the
searchpath. I downloaded all the modules from CPAN and added them with
perl Makefile.PL
dmake
dmake install
They are, in order of processing:
Math-Int64-0.30.tar.gz
Windows-specific:
Win32-API-0.77.tar.gz
Win32API-Registry-0.32.tar.gz
Win32-TieRegistry-0.26.tar.gz
Win32-Shortcut-0.08.tar.gz
Win32-Process-Info-1.020.tar.gz
Win32-OLE-0.1711.tar.gz - warnings
Perl/Tk:
Tk-804.032.tar.gz
This module did not compile rightaway: an entry '-limm32' somehow
did not make it into LDLOADLIBS in the generated makefile. After
manually adding this at the end of the definition, the module
compiled.
Tk-DirSelect-1.12.tar.gz
LWP and dependencies, in order of compilation/installation:
HTML-Tagset-3.20.tar.gz
HTML-Parser-3.71.tar.gz
URI-1.60.tar.gz
Encode-Locale-1.03.tar.gz
HTTP-Date-6.02.tar.gz
File-Listing-6.04.tar.gz
LWP-MediaTypes-6.02.tar.gz
IO-HTML-1.00.tar.gz
HTTP-Message-6.06.tar.gz
HTTP-Cookies-6.01.tar.gz
HTTP-Daemon-6.01.tar.gz
HTTP-Negotiate-6.01.tar.gz
Net-HTTP-6.06.tar.gz
WWW-RobotRules-6.02.tar.gz
LWP-Protocol-https-6.06.tar.gz
libwww-perl-6.06.tar.gz
Other:
IO-String-1.08.tar.gz
Digest-SHA1-2.13.tar.gz (for 3rd-party scripts)
MODIFICATIONS FOR TEXLIVE
- as explained above: our versions of lib/Config.pm and lib/Config_heavy.pl
compute the location of tlperl dynamically.
- The site/lib subdirectory is folded into lib.
- The bin subdirectory now only contains exe- and dll files;
batch files and Perl scripts have been removed.
- Copied from mingw/bin to tlperl/bin:
libgcc_s_sjlj_1.dll, libstdc++-6.dll, libpng16-16_.dll and.
TESTING WITH TEXLIVE
For testing the new Perl with the installer, I unpacked the net
installer and replaced its tlperl with the new one.
For testing the new Perl with the installed TeX Live, I copied it
into the fresh installation.
Both tests with 32-bits Windows XP Enterprise as regular user and
64-bits Windows 7 Professional as admin user.
These tests do not require a for perl updated texlive.tlpdb.
tlmgr appeared to work as intended. I also successfully ran
the uninstaller.
