To compile with thread support, you must use "yes" instead. Reason: /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/perl/Makefile compares PERL_THREADED to "yes" but not to "true." >How-To-Repeat: Try setting PERL_THREADED to true in /etc/make.conf and doing make depend/make in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl to rebuild perl. Thread support will not be included. If you set PERL_THREADED to yes in /etc/make.conf, it will. >Fix: Change /etc/default/make.conf to say "yes" or (perhaps better) make perl's makefile(s) notice "true" settings properly. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
