Description andrewem 2000-01-05 22:34:52 UTC
The spec file creates a configuration override file "config.over" that has
a few bugs in it:

1) The following will always fail as installprefix is the buildroot

     test -d \$installprefix || mkdir \$installprefix
     test -d \$installprefix/bin || mkdir \$installprefix/bin

   To fix, use "mkdir -p" or "makedirhier" instead of "mkdir".

2) By default, Perl builds with "-O2" as the ccflags.
   Add this line:

     optimize=$RPM_OPT_FLAGS

Comment 1 andrewem 2000-01-05 23:15:59 UTC
1) Better explanation:
     installprefix=/var/tmp/perl-root/usr
   since /var/tmp/perl-root does not exist yet
     mkdir $installprefix/usr
   will of course fail.

2) Oops...I forgot the quotes :(
     optimize="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS"

Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2000-01-15 14:57:59 UTC
Fixed in perl-5.00503-8 in Raw Hide.
