Hello Perl Team.
I faced a bug ("feature") in File::Temp that prevents use of
p5-ExtUtils-CBuilder-0.2802_1,1 and, as a result, build and install of
such packages like p5-Params-Validate-0.95_3, p5-DateTime-0.66,
p5-XML-Parser-2.40, p5-IPC-ShareLite-0.17
When I tried building the above packages I received different kinds of
errors stating that I do not have CBuilder and/or gcc and can't create
temp file.
After a lot of investigation I finally found that the problem is in
NFS that hosts my ports tree.
As I've understood, test code tries to create temporary file for test
compile. temp file is created with routine in File::Temp that tries
to set some FS flags/locks that do not work on NFS. Although zero
sized temp files are created successfully (but without the
required flags) the routine fails and as a result compile of test
file also fails. Build stops and empty temp file is left after each
build attempt.
I have
FreeBSD 7.4-PRERELEASE #2: Tue Feb 1 17:50:19 MSK 2011 i386
perl 5.8.9_4
p5-ExtUtils-CBuilder-0.2802_1,1
FreeBSD Ports site states that p5-ExtUtils-CBuilder-0.2802_1,1
requires perl-5.10.1_3l but actual port build does not state this and
tries to use perl 5.8.9 that I have.
If the above behavior is expectable it would be great to have some
corresponding info published, as I spent vast of time looking for the
problem of gcc/CBuilder in Internet but found nothing relevant.
PS. Work around - to copy the problem port directory localy (e.g. to
/tmp)
With best regards,
Alexandre Krasnov.
