perl for plan9?

perl for plan9?

[kokamoto]

Did anyone tried perl for plan9 (5.008?)?

Perl 5.30.1 version include plan9 directory which is the same as that for 5.008.
However, it does not compile.

accidentally, I found perl 5.8.0 for Release4 Plan9
where there are binary and libs and sources.
Yes, it works!
search perl.iso.bz2 on 9p.io.

I think there would be a lot of work involved in getting a 5.30+ port
working... a lot of stuff has changed internally since 5.8 (2002).
That said, if anyone was to work on it, I'd like to collaborate.

As far as I know Ori_B is doing some work on that and he mentioned that he had
some success but problems on amd64 I think.

I think his interest was especially for configuration/compilation of netsurf but
there they now have a perl-independent solution I think.

I remember when I tried there were some compiler issues with "##" etc.

I have i386 built and now just working on the tests. The patches are here: https://blog.fallglow.com/misc/ . The latest blead patch doesn't apply cleanly at the moment, unfortunately, and is the most far along in terms of hammering out issues; I just haven't had time to clean things up since the latest stable release when some blead updates also occurred and broke the patch in yhe plan9/ directory. I'll try to clean it up and get it going tomorrow night with instructions on how to build. Note that it doesn't build on other archs right now.

Well, it builds with amd64, but has the same crash in the regex
compilation that I've been trying to track down on-and-off for
the last while.

(If anyone else wants to look at it, Romano's patches are the
place to start)

Re: [9front] perl for plan9?

[Romano]

I've resolved the problem with the patch applying cleanly to blead. There are two commits that I have requested to be included upstream, see https://github.com/Perl/Perl5/pull/17891 . Apllying those to commits, then doing the following should get perl built on i386*:
ape/patch -p 1 < plan9/9front.patch; cd plan9; chmod +x fndvers; rc setup.rc; cd ..; mk perl

Then running: perl - Ilib -E 'say q{hello}'
should work

*Note this is from memory. I'm not at a terminal right now so cannot check. I had sent instructions to Ori_B in May over IRC but forgot to store them before things in RealLife came up. I hope to be able to confirm by the end of the month/beginning of July.

What is the problem(s) to make it success for say, amd64 or arm, or amr64?
