perl: refactor configure step

2012-12-16T00:09:16+00:00

After discussion with Perl-Cross's author (Alex Suykov) Note: Using -A with variables that aren't option lists makes little sense. Signed-off-by: Francois Perrad Acked-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Tested-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

perl: fix configure step

2012-11-30T20:17:08+00:00

Configure -A symbol=val generates a extra space in config.sh, which causes failure like this : Building Module-Runtime-0.013 Unknown OS type ' linux' - using default settings [Arnout: use -A define:foo instead of patching config.sh] Signed-off-by: Francois Perrad Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

perl: remove the double configure hack

2012-11-30T20:17:03+00:00

configure had to be called twice because with --mode=cross the miniperl-step failed. However, just leaving out the --mode parameter is sufficient to make it work. Since GNU_TARGET_NAME is always different from the host's tuple (it has -buildroot- in it), we can safely assume that the configure script will automatically enter cross mode. Also fix a type in perladmin definition. Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

perl: remove redundant patches

2012-11-30T20:16:52+00:00

Now we are using perlcross, the patches to make perl work with qemu are redundant, so remove them. Signed-off-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

perl: build with perlcross instead of qemu

2012-11-09T09:04:31+00:00

The perlcross project makes it possible to properly cross-compile perl. It creates a host-miniperl that is configured for the target and uses that to cross-compile the perl modules. Unfortunately there are still a few hacks needed to make it work. Proper fixes can be developed and upstreamed later. Since there is no longer a dependency on qemu, it works on all architectures again. Also removed some config options: - BR2_PACKAGE_PERL_CUSTOM_INSTALL just allows a selection of modules; this can also be encoded by an empty BR2_PACKAGE_PERL_MODULES. - BR2_PACKAGE_PERL_DB_FILE and BR2_PACKAGE_PERL_GDBM_FILE can be derived automatically from the package configs.
