Bug 131589 – media-tv/xmltv-0.5.39 does not compile.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Shay Cohen 2006-04-28 10:11:37 UTC]

When emerging XMLTV, the emerge process finishes OK but does not actually compile anything.
The Error is a problem with in XMLTV's Makefile.pl - line 963
I got this on both my Gentoo boxes. 
Workaround:
untar/bzip the xmltv-xxx.tar.bz2, remove line 963 (just a perl "die" line) from
Makefile.pl, and compile manually. 

Emerge output: 

legolas ~ # emerge xmltv

 * Using ExtUtils::MakeMaker

Choose which optional components of xmltv you want to install.  The
XMLTV.pm library and the filter programs such as tv_grep and tv_sort
are installed by default; here you choose grabbers for different
countries and front-ends for managing listings.

Alternative grabber for Britain (tv_grab_uk_rt)                    [yes]
Fast alternative grabber for the UK (tv_grab_uk_bleb)              [yes]
Grabber for North America using DataDirect (tv_grab_na_dd)         [yes]
...
Etc grabbers
...
Grabber for Portugal (tv_grab_pt)                                  [yes]
Program to report exceptions and changes in a schedule (tv_check)  [yes]
CGI program to filter listings (to install manually) (tv_pick_cgi) [yes]

Do you want to proceed with this configuration? [yes,no (default=yes)] Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
