Add perl 5.12.1 v3 #113

Add package build script from TEMPLATE.sh for a very old version of texinfo. Required to build ancient gcc version.

Create build script with cp gcc-9.2.0-0.build.sh gcc-4.5.1-0.build.sh and update version number.

This version of GCC has .texi files that are incompatible with the current version of texinfo. Use older version of texinfo.

We have unclear compile errors with libmudflap. This is only needed for certain instrumentation options. Disabled.

We have two failing checks remaining: FAIL: gcc.c-torture/compile/limits-exprparen.c FAIL: gcc.dg/cpp/trad/include.c The first one is a construct with excessive brackets: #define LBR1 ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( ( #define LBR2 LBR1 LBR1 LBR1 LBR1 LBR1 LBR1 LBR1 LBR1 LBR1 LBR1 #define LBR3 LBR2 LBR2 LBR2 LBR2 LBR2 LBR2 LBR2 LBR2 LBR2 LBR2 #define LBR4 LBR3 LBR3 LBR3 LBR3 LBR3 LBR3 LBR3 LBR3 LBR3 LBR3 ... This is not something we'd expect in the real world. The other one probably has an issue with the current glibc: #define __STDC__ 1 /* Stop complaints about non-ISO compilers. */ #define stdlib 1 #include <stdlib.h> /* { dg-bogus "o such file or directory" } */ The test is about whether macros inside '#include <' and '>' are expanded. This is also something we don't really care about. So we decided not to track these down. Ignore the failing tests instead.

Parallel install seems to mess to. Disable MAKEFLAGS="-j .." for make install.

Remove post-install commands, which we don't need for this version to avoid + rm -v 'lib64/*-gdb.py' rm: cannot remove 'lib64/*-gdb.py': No such file or directory

We want a perl version in /pkg which is identically to the /usr/local/bin perl version we are going to remove. Create file with cp perl-5.28.1-0.build.sh perl-5.12.1-0.build.sh and update versions.

Avoid error ext/Errno/t/Errno..............................................FAILED--Further testing stopped: No errno's are exported make: *** [makefile:874: test] Error 29 by adding a fix from perl-5.18.2.

Add -Dusethreads to make configuration similar to the configuration of /usr/local/bin/perl.

Compiling perl-5.12.1 with gcc-7.5.0 and -O2 fails for some tests: +op/range.t ........................................................ # Failed at op/range.t line 289 +op/numconvert.t ................................................... Failed 12/1440 subtests Theses test don't fail, however, with -O0. So it is assumed that the perl code contains undefined behaviour which a more recent compiler uses for optimizations. The tests also succeed when perl is compiled with gcc 4.5.1 which was used to create the perl installation in /usr/local. We want best performance and maximal compatibility with the perl version from /usr/local. Use the old gcc compiler. We use the old gcc compiler only for perl itself, not for cpan modules. Some of these required c++. Also the cpan modules are kept up to date and bugs which surfaced by changes in the compiler are fixed.

This test fails: ok 1 - timelocal second for 1970 1 2 0 0 0 ok 2 - timelocal minute for 1970 1 2 0 0 0 ok 3 - timelocal hour for 1970 1 2 0 0 0 ok 4 - timelocal day for 1970 1 2 0 0 0 ok 5 - timelocal month for 1970 1 2 0 0 0 not ok 6 - timelocal year for 1970 1 2 0 0 0 # Failed test 'timelocal year for 1970 1 2 0 0 0' # at ext/Time-Local/t/Local.t line 97. # got: '170' # expected: '70' which is probably caused by a Y2K fix in localtime() of glibc. The test fails with the perlversion installed into /usr/local as well, which is the version we want to be compatible with. So just remove this test.

We removed Berekely DB from the system, but it is required here for the BerkeleyDB perl module which is required for DB_File which is required for bioperl. Install Berekeley DB into the package.

We have a single failed test for PDL because of missing "pngtopnm". Disable tests for this module.

Avoid ZMUGHAL/Devel-IPerl-0.008.tar.gz requires perl '5.013002'; you have only 5.012001; giving up

This perl package should be a replacement for the perl installation in /usr/local. We've compared the list of packages from /usr/local with those installed into this package so far. Ignoring the huge amount of packages in the Bio:: namespace, which are the result of chaotic maintenance, ridiculous fragmentation and continuous reorganization the following packages are missing: DateTime::TimeZone::Local::Win32 File::ShareDir::ProjectDistDir LWP::Protocol::GHTTP LWP::Protocol::http10 Net::SMTP::SSL Apache::SOAP Apache::XMLRPC::Lite DBI::FAQ DateTime::TimeZone::America::Godthab Mojolicious::Command::test Mojolicious::Plugin::PODRenderer PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT PDL::Graphics::PGPLOT::Window PDL::Graphics::PGPLOTOptions PPI::Exception::ParserTimeout Perl::Critic::Policy::Documentation::RequirePodLinksIncludeText Plack::Handler::HTTP::Server::Simple From this list only Net::SMTP::SSL seems relevant, so add this package.
