https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205367 Bug ID: 205367 Summary: PERL should be used instead of PERL5 Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Ports Framework Assignee: portmgr@FreeBSD.org Reporter: mi@FreeBSD.org CC: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org, kwm@FreeBSD.org, pi@FreeBSD.org, rodrigo@FreeBSD.org, ume@FreeBSD.org Created attachment 164300 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=164300&action=edit Use ${PERL} instead of ${PERL5} Some of the ports use ${PERL5}, where ${PERL} is sufficient -- and safer. The former can mean something like /usr/local/bin/perl5.22.1, whereas the latter is simply /usr/local/bin/perl. In particular, when PERL5 points to a NON-EXISTENT executable (as just happened on my system), the ports break. The proposed patch covers only the ports, where ${PERL5} is part of CONFIGURE_ARGS -- there are, likely, to be other ports affected by the same misunderstanding. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
