What's the version of MakeMaker on darwin? There were significant changes in the syntax of a call to MakeMaker in the early transition from the 5.6 series to the 5.8 series that affect how we build into vendor - just need to be sure that you have at least the minimum :) MakeMaker (luckely) isn't provided by darwin (I can't find it), ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.20 has keyword ~ppc in gentoo portage. MakeMaker is there. It has to be. Otherwise darwin's perl would never, ever, ever be able to install modules. Ever. perl -MExtUtils::MakeMaker -e 'print "$ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION\n"' oh, well, that made me look stupid :) $ perl -MExtUtils::MakeMaker -e 'print "$ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION\n"' 6.12 (In reply to comment #4) > $ perl -MExtUtils::MakeMaker -e 'print "$ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION\n"' > 6.12 In that case - no. Not without forcing darwin users to use at least MM 6.15 - <6.15 had broken behaviour with -PREFIX and -DISTDIRs (and I'd really prefer, since we're forcing this, that you have at least 6.17, but that's just me trying to be cross complient with all the MM's) thanks a lot, I suppose it's okay as it is... What's wrong with requiring that your extutils makemaker be upgraded? Other than the lack of a reverse inc, which means it will never get invoked...so maybe never mind... |
