Description Yana Luna-Terra 2017-05-16 22:10:28 UTC

git format-patch

Some packages on macOS will require dtrace to compile, example from Clozure Common Lisp (https://ccl.clozure.com) Makefile:

probes.h: probes.d
	dtrace -h -s $<

Currently the value of extrapath variable is "/usr/bin:/bin".

dtrace is in /usr/sbin, and thus, emake fails to find it. I propose to extend extrapath to "/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin". I've attached a git patch to this message that resolves this problem.
