Bug 90044 – vim and gvim fail to compile with perl version <= 5.8.5

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Ryan SG 2005-04-22 09:10:45 UTC]

Vim and Gvim 6.3.068 fail to compile on amd64 with a long string of perl link errors when using perl and libperl version <= 5.8.5

Upgrading to perl/libperl version 5.8.6 solves these link errors
Would have expected a perl upgrade to be a dependency under these circumstances.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Emerge per 5.8.5
2.Emerge Vim or Gvim 6.3.068
3.

Actual Results:  
Emerge Vim and Gvim fail with lots of perl link errors

Expected Results:  
Compile cleanly or pull in the required deps and then compile cleanly

No, vim's just fine with perl < 5.8.6. That an upgrade fixed it was merely a side effect.
