-- Perl configuration -- Perl uses a huge configuration file, normally generated via the Configure script at build-time. This fails when cross-compiling though, so we need to supply our own. We're using perlconfig.pl to piece together the final configuration from a bunch of configuration files(all ending in .config). Please refer to perlconfig.pl's POD for information on usage and syntax. Throughout the files, you will see a bunch of references to private symbols with the prefix "owrt". These are used to control output in an effort to both simplify writing configuration files, as well as to provide switchable options to select the feature set of the resulting perl installation. The following will be a summary/quick reference of all private symbols we're currently using: Passed via architecture configuration file(mipsel.config, i486.config, ...) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Symbol Values Description owrt:bits 32/64 Target's native word length. owrt:endian little/big Target's endianness. owrt:arch mipsel, i486, ... Target's architecture name. owrt:sig_count 64/128 Number of signals the target provides(NSIG - 1). owrt:sigs * Symbolic names of the first 32 signals this architecture provides, in numeric order. Separated by whitespaces. owrt:sig_name_extra * Symbolic names of any additional signals this architecture provides after owrt:sig_count. Separated by whitespaces. owrt:sig_num_extra * Numeric values associated with the signal names provided in owrt:sig_name_extra. Separated by whitespaces. Passed via command line ----------------------- Symbol Values Description owrt:libc glibc/uclibc/musl Which C library implementation is in use. owrt:threads yes/no Whether to enable threading support. owrt:ipv6 define/undef Whether to enable IPv6 support. owrt:target_cross * Target architecture's host triplet. owrt:target_cc * C compiler to use. owrt:gccversion * target_cc's version number. owrt:cflags * Additional C compiler flags. owrt:ldflags * Additional linker flags. owrt:staging_dir * Same as OpenWRT buildroot's $(STAGING_DIR). owrt:host_perl_prefix * host-perl installation prefix. Passed via version.config ------------------------- Symbol Values Description owrt:perllibpath * Path to perl library files, from the target's point of view.
