Description eric.williams 2004-02-16 15:19:04 UTC

emerge perl fails for some reason.  The generated makefile left in /var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.2-r1/work/perl-5.8.2/makefile has line 900 containing nothing but a '0', rendering the makefile syntactically invalid, apparently.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge dev-lang/perl
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/perl-5.8.2-r1/work/perl-5.8.2/x2p'
Now you must run 'make'.
 
If you compile perl5 on a different machine or from a different object
directory, copy the Policy.sh file from this object directory to the
new one before you run Configure -- this will help you with most of
the policy defaults.
 
makefile:900: *** missing separator.  Stop.
 
!!! ERROR: dev-lang/perl-5.8.2-r1 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 190, Exitcode 2
!!! Unable to make
 


Expected Results:  
Presumably, a successful merge.

Apparently /dev and /proc were not mounted.

Comment 2 Sebastian Spaeth 2004-03-26 02:03:32 UTC

I would like to have this bug reopened.
It happens with perl 5.8.3 to me. During the merge I get the exactly same  message, just with line 905 instead of 900 containing a single '0' in the makefile. I do have /proc and /dev (booted through a knoppix cd). The only problem I have is that writing to /dev/null gives a permission denied error (I replaced it with a link pointing to a ramdisk file.
