Bug 128580 – module-build fails to install due to PREFIX not being supported

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Nathan Sullivan 2006-04-02 15:48:56 UTC]

All versions of module-build in portage currently fail to merge due to the following:

>>> Source unpacked.
>>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/module-build-0.25/work/Module-Build-0.25 ...
 * Using ExtUtils::MakeMaker
Sorry, PREFIX is not supported.  See the Module::Build
documentation for 'destdir' or 'install_base' instead.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

!!! ERROR: dev-perl/module-build-0.25 failed.
Call stack:
  ebuild.sh, line 1526:   Called dyn_compile
  ebuild.sh, line 923:   Called src_compile
  ebuild.sh, line 1236:   Called perl-module_src_compile
  perl-module.eclass, line 127:   Called die

!!! compilation failed

Tried using both ExtUtils-MakeMaker 6.21-r1 and 6.30.01, no joy. emerge --info below:
