Bug 407763 – dev-lang/perl : bad include in perl.h

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Agostino Sarubbo 2012-03-11 07:27:55 UTC]

There are a lot of failures like:


i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -c   -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -O2 -march=prescott -g0 -w   -DVERSION=\"3.69\" -DXS_VERSION=\"3.69\" -fPIC "-I/usr/lib/perl5/5.12.4/i686-linux/CORE"  -DMARKED_SECTION Parser.c
In file included from Parser.xs:18:
/usr/lib/perl5/5.12.4/i686-linux/CORE/perl.h:5905:63: error: libutil.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [Parser.o] Error 1

then:

find /usr/include/ -name libutil.h                                                                                                                                      
/usr/include/bsd/libutil.h 

and in perl.h:

#ifdef I_LIBUTIL
#   include <libutil.h>             /* setproctitle() in some FreeBSDs */

so, changing it in bsd/libutil.h work as expected.

Please always tell us which perl you have installed! Currently there are three versions of 5.12.4 in the tree.

latest x86 stable: 5.12.4-r1

Iy no make sense - fix old stable perl, if we have any problem for newest perl (like 5.16.3) just reopen it.
