[darwinbuild] perl_extras

[Kevin Van Vechten]

Hi Chris,

I think I know what the problem is.  First, I'd like to point out  
that DarwinBuild performs all build inside the BuildRoot directory  
(see chroot(8)).  Therefore the reason you didn't see a /private/var/ 
tmp/perl_extras/perl_extras-35.obj/Extras-objroot directory is  
because it is actually .../BuildRoot/private/var/tmp/perl_extras/ 
perl_extras-35.obj/Extras-objroot.

In the build log that you provided me, it appears that the gzip  
project was never loaded into the BuildRoot.  This is consistent with  
the error: "tar (child): gzip: Cannot exec: No such file or  
directory"  This appears to be an oversight in the 8A428.plist.

You can edit the database to add the gzip dependency and hopefully it  
will correct this issue.

If you're using the most recent version of DarwinBuild from CVS, you  
can do:

# darwinxref edit 8A428 perl

Or if you're using 0.6 or 0.6.1, you can do the following and search  
for "perl = {":

# darwinxref -b 8A428 edit

At this point, you'll want to add "gzip" to the build dependencies  
list for perl:

dependencies = {
     build = (
         gzip,
         ...

After saving your changes, when you perform the next build it should  
automatically load gzip into the BuildRoot.
