Cross Compile Perl

Alex Suykov had do some work for this purpose, and my compile script was based on her patch.

Stepsstep 1:

Download Perl source code from Perl ' s official site, such as:

wget http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.20.2.tar.gz

Step 2:

Download the corresponding Perl cross compile patch from Alex Suykov ' s site.

wget https://raw.github.com/arsv/perl-cross/releases/perl-5.20.2-cross-0.9.7.tar.gz

Step 3:

Extract the source code to the some diretory.

Tar xvzf perl-5.20.2.tar.gz
Tar xvzf perl-5.20.2-cross-0.9.7.tar.gz

Step 4:

Edit the Configure script below to generate the Makefile, replace the paths to your own, such as:

/home/username/arm/gcc/bin
/home/username/arm/dist/lib
/home/username/arm/dist
...

Be careful! :
Don't add into your --target-tools-prefix=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- configure arguments, otherwise you'll get some strange error during the Configure stage.

Installation script file:

unsetLd_library_path Library_path CPath C_include_path Pkg_config_path Cplus_include_path INCLUDEExportPATH=$PATH:/home/username/arm/gcc/binLdflags='-l/home/username/arm/dist/lib ' LD=/home/username/ARM/GCC/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ldAR=/home/username/ARM/GCC/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-arRanlib=/home/username/ARM/GCC/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-ranlibNM=/home/username/ARM/GCC/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-nmreadelf=/home/username/ARM/GCC/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-readelfOBJDUMP=/home/username/ARM/GCC/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-objdumpCC=/home/username/ARM/GCC/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gccCXX=/home/username/ARM/GCC/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-g++CFLAGS='--sysroot=/home/username/arm/gcc/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/sys-root './configure--target=arm-linux--host=arm-linux-gnueabi--prefix=/home/username/arm/dist 

Step 3:

After the Configure stage finish successfully.
Run the Make command to start the Make stage:

Make-j4

Step 4:

After the make stage finish successfully.
Run the install command to start the install stage:

Make install

Step 5:

Copy the cross compile result to your device, and check the result by run of the Perl from console:

Perl–version

If u get the correct version info, u succeed!
