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 39
