Works on Mac OSX Leopard in 64bit mode (unlike 5.10.0). Configure args: -Dcc=gcc-4.2 -Dprefix=/usr/local/perl-test -DEBUGGING=both - Duse64bitall -Duserelocatableinc I have a question concerning -Duserelocatableinc though. It does seem to work on this system and relocating the install tree does work (perl -V is fine) but I get 3 test failures that I imagine are directly related to it: t/pod/pod2usage2..............................................# Failed test 'Output test pod2usage with Pod::Find' # at pod/pod2usage2.t line 235. # Got: # #Usage: # # This is a test for CPAN#33020 # # # #Usage: # # And this will be also printed. # # # FAILED at test 26 lib/ExtUtils/t/Installed......................................# Failed test '... should find doc file under given dir' # at ../lib/ExtUtils/t/Installed.t line 231. # got: '0' # expected: '1' FAILED at test 46 lib/ExtUtils/t/Install........................................ok lib/ExtUtils/t/INST_PREFIX....................................# Failed test '$(SITEPREFIX) + sitearch' # at ../lib/ExtUtils/t/INST_PREFIX.t line 142. # './../lib/site_perl/5.10.0/darwin-2level' # doesn't match '(?-xism:^\$\(SITEPREFIX\))' FAILED at test 19 I assume these tests are assuming that the prefix is not relocatable. They also fail in blead though. Given how hidden this feature is I'm not sure whether it matters. I also don't know whether this is a mac- specific problem. -- Tim Jenness Joint Astronomy CentreThread Previous | Thread Next
