    59 XXX Note! 
    60 Using embedded parrot is currently NOT recommended on win32 and x86_64.

  • TASKS

    r8940 r8941  
    3434check if parrot is there with can_run('parrot').  Skills: basic perl5. 
    3535 
    36 * Remove the "embedding parrot is NOT recommended on" lines from 
    37 Makefile.PL and INSTALL.  They were just there for the 6.2.11 release. 
    38 Skills: none. 
    39  
    4036* docs/notes contains context_coercion.pod (audreyt's) and 
    4137context_coersion.pod [sic] (luqui's).  Name (one of?) them something 
    4238more reasonable.  Skills: taste. 
    4339 
    44 * ./pugs -V doesn't mention a lot of stuff.  Notably, whether parrot 
    45 and or p6 have been embedded.  It should.  May be hard? - the build 
    46 system is a bit messy.  It should perhaps also answer the "usual 
    47 questions for someone with a problem" - what os, cpu (64 bit?), ghc 
    48 version, gcc version. But that could be a separate task. Skills: p5, 
    49 build system. 
     40* ./pugs -V doesn't mention / is sloppy about a lot of stuff: 
     41  Skills: p5, build system. 
     42** Notably, whether parrot and or p6 have been embedded. It should. 
     43   May be hard? - the build system is a bit messy. 
     44** It should perhaps also answer the "usual questions for someone with 
     45   a problem" - what os, cpu (64 bit?), ghc version, gcc version. 
     46** Some of the data lifted from `perl -V` at build time is bogus; for 
     47   example, `archname` on my system is i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi 
     48   because that's where debian's perl came from.
