Description Petr Pisar 2013-07-25 08:13:47 UTC

Current polymake fails to build against perl 5.18 due to changes in perl 5.18 API <https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=5653172>:

namespaces.xs: In function 'boot_namespaces':
/usr/lib/perl5/CORE/av.h:62:26: error: 'PADLIST' has no member named 'sv_u'
 #define AvARRAY(av) ((av)->sv_u.svu_array)

It has been fixed by upstream with SVN commit 11273 allegedly <http://forum.polymake.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=338>, but I cannot find the upstream SVN repository anywhere.

You could use patch from different project probably <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=79182>.

It's a private repository.  They push some of their changes to a public "beta release" SVN repository, but I don't see this particular commit in that repository.

Thanks for the link.  I'll see if I can figure out the appropriate fix.

I have built the latest polymake "public beta", which includes fixes for perl 5.18.
