1We have been alerted to some differences in how different Perl releases
2build modules under Solaris depending if one uses the Sun distribution
3or builds it from source using GNU gcc.
4
5For this reason we've created some instructions that seem to work for
6both cases, if you experience any problems please email us and let us
7know the source of your perl distribution.
8
9Installation of the Algorithm::SVM module is then as follows:
10
11   perl Makefile.PL.solaris
12
13You will then need to edit the resulting Makefile, search for the
14word 'static' and find the sections titled "MakeMaker static section"
15and "MakeMaker static_lib section."
16
17Comment out the lines which under each of these sections should look
18something like:
19# --- MakeMaker static section:
20
21## $(INST_PM) has been moved to the all: target.
22## It remains here for awhile to allow for old usage: "make static"
23#static :: Makefile $(INST_STATIC) $(INST_PM)
24static :: Makefile $(INST_STATIC)
25        @$(NOOP)
26
27# --- MakeMaker static_lib section:
28
29$(INST_STATIC): $(OBJECT) $(MYEXTLIB) $(INST_ARCHAUTODIR)/.exists
30        $(RM_RF) $@
31        $(FULL_AR) $(AR_STATIC_ARGS) $@ $(OBJECT) && $(RANLIB) $@
32        $(CHMOD) $(PERM_RWX) $@
33        @echo "$(EXTRALIBS)" > $(INST_ARCHAUTODIR)/extralibs.ld
34
35Then continue with:
36   make
37   make test
38   make install
