My environment is vanilla in every respect I can imagine to be
relevant.
The only entries in my make.conf are:
CFLAGS= -O -pipe
COPY=-C
USA_RESIDENT=YES
MAKE_IDEA=YES
CD_MOUNTPT=/mnt/cdrom
FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS=-p
FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=YES
TOP_TABLE_SIZE= 101
>Description:
The perl install tries to do a chmod, which isn't in the installworld
limited environment. I'm not sure why there are so few of us getting
bitten by this, but it's an interaction between perl's own build
system and FreeBSD's.
This keeps a normal installworld from working...
>How-To-Repeat:
"make installworld" eventually leads to:
===> gnu/usr.bin/perl/library/SDBM_File
cd /usr/obj/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/library/SDBM_File/ext/SDBM_File ; make -B install INSTALLPRIVLIB=/usr/libdata/perl/5.00503 INSTALLARCHLIB=/usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach
cd sdbm && make all
rm -rf libsdbm.a
ar cr libsdbm.a sdbm.o pair.o hash.o && : libsdbm.a
chmod 755 libsdbm.a
chmod:No such file or directory
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/obj/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/library/SDBM_File/ext/SDBM_File/sdbm.
*** Error code 1
etc.
>Fix:
The obvious workaround is:
================================================================
*** Makefile.inc1~ Mon Oct 16 10:05:12 2000
--- Makefile.inc1 Mon Oct 16 10:05:30 2000
***************
*** 298,304 ****
#
installworld:
mkdir -p ${INSTALLTMP}
! for prog in [ awk cat chflags chown date echo egrep find grep \
install ln make makewhatis mtree mv perl rm sed sh sysctl \
test true uname wc zic; do \
cp `which $$prog` ${INSTALLTMP}; \

================================================================
However, I don't think perl should *need* the chmod, so there's
probably a better answer.
[I can think of some other workarounds, such as using '-k' on the make
command, but this one is less ugly.]
