I haven't tried it myself, but were I to, I'd just start with the
top-level Makefile in the MacPerl source distribution, and take a gander
at the various targets in that makefile. I remember casually glancing at
it a few months ago, so all the info you're looking for is in there.

One possible hitch, which I can alert you to, but not help you with: the
full build of the MacPerl application needs some older Codewarrior
libraries, I think from CW10 or CW11. Depending on what they pertain to,
the fact that you're looking to build a shared librray which doesn't need
the GUI may obviate the need for these older libs. But I personally have
no idea.

There is only one way to find out. :-)
