Perl First create a basic /etc/hosts file to be referenced in one of Perl's configuration files as well as the optional test suite: echo "127.0.0.1 localhost $(hostname)" > /etc/hosts Perl does not, by default, know about library directories with names other than lib, The following patch will allow it to install to other directories: patch -Np1 -i ../&perl-multilib-patch; Back up the hints/linux.sh and cpan/Compress-Raw-Zlib/config.in files so they can be reset between platforms: cp -v hints/linux.sh hints/linux.sh.bak cp -v cpan/Compress-Raw-Zlib/config.in cpan/Compress-Raw-Zlib/config.in.bak This version of Perl now builds the Compress::Raw::Zlib and Compress::Raw::BZip2 modules. By default Perl will use an internal copy of the sources for the build. Issue the following command so that Perl will use the libraries installed on the system: export BUILD_ZLIB=False export BUILD_BZIP2=0 There is a further (possibly cosmetic) anomaly - if we install perl and then run perl -V it will claim that libc is in /lib. The following sed fixes this, but only takes effect when make install is run: sed -i "/libc/s@/lib@/lib32@" hints/linux.sh We still need to tell perl to actually use lib32: echo 'installstyle="lib32/perl5"' >>hints/linux.sh To have full control over the way Perl is set up, you can remove the -des options from the following command and hand-pick the way this package is built. Alternatively, use the command exactly as below to use the defaults that Perl auto-detects: sh Configure -des -Dprefix=/usr \ -Dvendorprefix=/usr \ -Dman1dir=/usr/share/man/man1 \ -Dman3dir=/usr/share/man/man3 \ -Dpager="/usr/bin/less -isR" \ -Dlibpth="/usr/local/lib32 /lib32 /usr/lib32" \ -Dcc="gcc -m32" \ -Duseshrplib -Dvendorprefix=/usr This ensures perl knows how to tell packages where they should install their perl modules. -Dpager="/usr/bin/less -isR" This ensures that less is used instead of more. -Dman1dir=/usr/share/man/man1 -Dman3dir=/usr/share/man/man3 Since Groff is not installed yet, Configure thinks that we do not want man pages for Perl. Issuing these parameters overrides this decision. -Duseshrplib Build a shared libperl needed by some perl modules. -Dlibpth="/usr/local/lib32 /lib32 /usr/lib32" This tells Perl to link against the 32-bit libraries. Compile the package: make To test the results (approximately 2.5 SBU), issue: make -k test Install the package and clean up: make install unset BUILD_ZLIB BUILD_BZIP2 Add a suffix to the perl binary which will be used by the multiarch wrapper: mv -v /usr/bin/perl{,-32} mv -v /usr/bin/perl&perl-version;{,-32} Clean up the build directory and restore the hints/linux.sh and cpan/Compress-Raw-Zlib/config.in files before moving on to the next platform: make distclean cp -v hints/linux.sh.bak hints/linux.sh cp -v cpan/Compress-Raw-Zlib/config.in.bak cpan/Compress-Raw-Zlib/config.in This version of Perl now builds the Compress::Raw::Zlib and Compress::Raw::BZip2 modules.

Issuing these parameters overrides this decision. -Duseshrplib Build a shared libperl needed by some perl modules. -Dlibpth="/usr/local/libx32 /libx32 /usr/libx32" This tells Perl to link against the x32 ABI libraries. Compile the package: make To test the results (approximately 2.5 SBU), issue: make -k test Install the package and clean up: make install unset BUILD_ZLIB BUILD_BZIP2 Add a suffix to the perl binary which will be used by the multiarch wrapper: mv -v /usr/bin/perl{,-x32} mv -v /usr/bin/perl&perl-version;{,-x32} Clean up the build directory and restore the hints/linux.sh and cpan/Compress-Raw-Zlib/config.in files before moving on to the next platform: make distclean cp -v hints/linux.sh.bak hints/linux.sh cp -v cpan/Compress-Raw-Zlib/config.in.bak cpan/Compress-Raw-Zlib/config.in This version of Perl now builds the Compress::Raw::Zlib and Compress::Raw::BZip2 modules.

USE_ARCH=32 perl -V:cc will give the value of CC used to build the 32bit perl. The multiarch_wrapper will help later with building perl extensions and bindings. Without the multiarch_wrapper it is very hard to setup a 32bit extension or binding.
