Re: [MacPerl-Porters] New MacPerl build system now available!

Report on the kit that was posted:

 In installing GUSI and SFIO I apparently made the mistake of 
 double clicking on the Install_{product}.MPW script which set
 the {GUSI} and {SFIO} MPW variables to the folder that was the 
 last directory I had set in MPW which was not correct.
 Workaround: set GUSI and set SFIO by hand and/or modify
 MPW startup scripts.
 Correct approach(?): I guess I should have directory'ed to the
 GUSI dir then run the script then directory'ed over to SFIO and
 run that script (?).

On to the make invoked with:

   dmake -n all
   
where I noted that even if I had removed 68K and PPC from the 
MacPerlConfig.mk file the first line spat out by dmake is a
MWLInk command for the MW build portion - odd.  
(It does BTW look like the MacPerlConfig.mk could be generated by an
MPW script :-)

At any rate, if I select from either the SC portion on down or the MrC 
portion on down of the dmake output the compilers warn
with messages such as these from MrC:

#Standard input; Line 2; ### Rez - Warning: No resources read by include statement from file "miniperl.SC".
### MPW Shell - Command "UnPreload" was not found.

At any rate I am very pleased to report that I have a miniperl:

miniperl -v

miniperl -e 'printf("%s %vd\n",$^O,$^V)'
MacOS 5.6.0

Whoo hoo!

This was BTW Mac OS 9, MPW Gold Master from Feb 2000, BuildCommands and 
BuildProgram scripts replaced with the ones included in the dmake kit.
I had not set the MPW memory to anything.  That isi,B I simply left it at
the default.
