Hi ! How to resolve/address this ? .... /etc/make.conf has the following knobs: #NOPERL= true #NOSUIDPERL= true Some ports still need perl5 from the ports collection. So I set these options and removed perl5 completely from /usr/bin, /usr/share and /usr/libdata ... What happened now ... a) Can't compile a kernel without perl, because makedevopts.pl needs perlt. b) The perl 5 port for -current isn't compileable. Fails building. BTW, since when we are not able to compile perl5 ????? What happened with FreeBSD ? ;-) What is your recommendation for FreeBSD 3.0 ? Use both perl5 in the system AND perl5 from the ports collection for building and installing other ports ? BTW, the perl5 port doesn't compile and install on a -current system by default, because it's in the base system. Question. Is this ok ? What about the other ports, that usually install themselves into a local directory structure under site_perl. Well, seems a bit tricky. What are your recommendations ?
