Bug 29014 – Compiling any perl packages ends with : ==> Your Makefile has been rebuilt. <== \==> Please rerun the make command. <==.

• Status: RESOLVED CANTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Kristian Benoit 2003-09-17 15:52:09 UTC]

Since I updated to perl-5.8.0-r12 I get an error when compiling any perl package:

Processing hints file hints/linux.pl
Writing Makefile for DynaLoader
==> Your Makefile has been rebuilt. <==
==> Please rerun the make command.  <==

I had the same error when I "emerge -u system" with a gentoo-1.4rc4-stage1 so I
switched to a stage 3 which did'nt give the error Until I installed perl-5.8.0-r12.
To install it I had to uninstall ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.05-r6, File-Spec-0.84-r1
and Test-Simple-0.47-r1. But as I though some package needed these, I reemerged
them. When I realized that they where included in the new perl package I removed
them but it still does not compile. There's a lot of computer having the same
problem as I saw on the forum, but it seems that no one filled a bug report...
So here it is.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile a perl package.

Actual Results:  
Processing hints file hints/linux.pl
Writing Makefile for DynaLoader
==> Your Makefile has been rebuilt. <==
==> Please rerun the make command.  <==

Expected Results:  
[...] compilation successful !!! :)

I've never seen this.  Does remerging perl help?

[Comment 2 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) 2004-02-27 07:28:57 UTC]

Is this still happening? Could this be an atime issue?

[Comment 3 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) 2004-02-27 13:34:39 UTC]

FWIW, I remember where I've seen this issue. Happens in particular if the system clock is behind the timestamp of the untarred package. Since it's been 6 months now, I'm closing this bug. Please reopen if you still need it.
