#44630: p5.16-spiffy configure error - sed: RE error: illegal byte sequence ------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: mf2k@… | Owner: dluke@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: fixed | Keywords: Port: p5-spiffy | ------------------------+--------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@…): Replying to [comment:19 mojca@…]:
If p5-extutils-makemaker is some semi-universal dependency – wouldn't it make sense to add it to the PortGroup?
ExtUtils::MakeMaker is one perl module build system, which uses a file Makefile.PL and is the default in the MacPorts perl5 portgroup. The other perl module build system is Module::Build which uses a file Build.PL and is activated by setting `perl5.use_module_build`. If we were to add a universal dependency on p5-extutils-makemaker, it would have to exclude p5 -extutils-makemaker itself and all of its dependencies and any ports using `perl5.use_module_build`. I guess the reason why we don't have the dependency currently is that each perl port ships with a copy of ExtUtils::MakeMaker and thus far that version was thought to be sufficient. I see there are 9 ports that do depend on p5-extutils- makemaker... -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44630#comment:22> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
