Description Toralf Förster gentoo-dev 2007-07-10 08:55:59 UTC
During emerge I got a warning, which _might_ indicate a typo/syntax error within the configure step :

=======================================================
Which SSL install path do you want to use? [/usr] /usr
WARNING: LICENSE is not a known parameter.

BUILD INFORMATION



Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Michael Cummings (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-07-11 11:28:56 UTC
Perfectly harmless. Past lessons have taught us not to upgrade the version of 
ExtUtils-MakeMaker that comes with the perl install without serious 
provocation. The side effect of that is that the MakeMaker we install doesn't 
have the latest bell or whistle - which includes understanding the LICENSE 
reference in the Makefile.PL of some newer modules. This can be ignored in 
Crypt-SSLeay (as well as the other modules it appears in) as just static. 
Thanks :)
