I'm puzzling over two tickets concerning perl: 2071 and 2227 It looks like 2071 says that we need to add -Dvendorprefix=/usr to the configuration process, but configure.gnu doesn't support it.
Dan mentions that he uses: sh ./Configure -des \ -Dprefix=/usr \ -Dsiteprefix=/usr \ -Dvendorprefix=/usr \ -Doptimize="${CFLAGS}" \ ${LDFLAGS:+-Dldflags="$LDFLAGS"} \ -Dscriptdir=/usr/bin \ -Dman1dir=/usr/share/man/man1 \ -Dman3dir=/usr/share/man/man3pm \ -Dhtml1dir=/usr/share/doc/perl5/html1 \ -Dhtml3dir=/usr/share/doc/perl5/html3 \ -Dpager="/usr/bin/less -isR" \ -Dmyhostname=localhost \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Are there any comments about this? Should I just drop in these instructions? The second ticket, 2227, concerns a group of patches, including one reasonably severe security patch. This seems to be fixed in the existing patch. The question is whether we really need to add any additional perl patches. There seem to be a lot of patches, but they are not consolidated. I can't tell which are meaningful and which are not. I'm tempted to mark this wontfix. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
