+As an alternative to building perl in-tree, (see
+https://github.com/dirk-dhu/freetz/tree/master/make/perl
+), here are the steps to do this manually, if your
+freetz distribution lacks make/perl package or have
+trouble using the automated build.
+
+To cross-compile perl and integrate it manually
+into a freetz build, here is a rough guideline,
+tried and tested:
+
+  perl-5.26.2.tar.gz
+  perl-cross-1.1.9.tar.gz   (unpack over perl-5.26.2 source)
+
+compile freetz with the following line in .config to setup all the links for perl
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+  EXTERNAL_OWN_FILES="/usr/bin/corelist /usr/bin/cpan /usr/bin/enc2xs /usr/bin/encguess /usr/bin/h2ph /usr/bin/h2xs /usr/bin/instmodsh /usr/bin/json_pp /usr/bin/libnetcfg /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/perlbug /usr/bin/perldoc /usr/bin/perlivp /usr/bin/perlthanks /usr/bin/piconv /usr/bin/pl2pm /usr/bin/pod2html /usr/bin/pod2man /usr/bin/pod2text /usr/bin/pod2usage /usr/bin/podchecker /usr/bin/podselect /usr/bin/prove /usr/bin/ptar /usr/bin/ptardiff /usr/bin/ptargrep /usr/bin/shasum /usr/bin/splain /usr/bin/xsubpp /usr/bin/zipdetails /usr/lib/perl5"
+
+compile perl and integrate into freetz image using
+---------------------------------------------
+  cd perl-src-dir
+
+  export PATH="$PATH:$FREETZDIR/toolchain/build/mips_gcc-4.8.5_uClibc-0.9.33.2-nptl/mips-linux-uclibc/bin/"
+
+  ./configure --target=mips-linux-uclibc --target-tools-prefix=mips-linux-uclibc
+  make
+  make DESTDIR=$FREETZDIR/build/modified/external
+
+  # do not distribute man page to embedded system
+  rm -rvf $FREETZDIR/build/modified/external/usr/share/man
+
+  # repack image to reflect modified/external state
+  FREETZ_FWMOD_SKIP_UNPACK=y FREETZ_FWMOD_SKIP_MODIFY=y make firmware-nocompile
+
+
+The resulting firmware will work to run zimHttpServer32 on Fritz!Box
+router hardware in combination with the machine-endianess-tolerant
+zimHttpServer.pl in this repo-sitory.

+    - Busybox (tested 1.24 and current 1.28) xz applet appears to not
+      work (reports "corrupted data" to the terminal) when applied to
+      the xz data extracted from zim files, _but_ the error message
+      is wrong - if enough RAM (physical and swap) is available the
+      xz applet will work just as well as the binary from xz-utils.

+      from AVM Fritz!Box routers, i.e. it may not work with 7270 and
+      older devices

+This repo is DEPRECATED and here for reference purpose only, it may be deleted from github at any time in the future.
+
+The clone was originally done with the intention
+of integration into freetz, thus the content of
+the few commits in this repo has basically moved
+to
+https://github.com/cm8/freetz/commits/make/zimhttpserver
+
+Due to the way freetz packages work, there is not
+a full clone - make/zimhttpserver/zimhttpserver.mk
+rather refers to the original upstream repo,
+instead of cloning it fully into freetz. The
+reason for freetz to do it this way is, that
+it is unclear if a clone is needed until the
+user has configured freetz build system.
+
+After some grace period, /this/ fork will probably
+be deleted, because the original intention of
+integration into freetz is now finished. If you
+have bookmarked it for some reason, take a look
+at
+https://github.com/cm8/freetz/commit/a89bb115d2d9ec47f7ad85dc3ec24a286b6b1a64
+
+This commit basically squashes the changes done
+to this repo since fork time.
