Subject: perl: FTBFS on hurd-i386

Date: Thu, 04 Aug 2011 17:00:24 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: perl
Version: 5.12.4-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
User: debian-hurd@lists.debian.org
Usertags: hurd

Hi,

currently[1], perl does not compile, because it cannot find the
Berkeley DB library.

The attached patch adds hints for ext/ODBM_File, and improving the
general "gnu" hints, copying a couple of stuff which makes sense from
the linux.pl hints, like the library patch search, the pthread linking
(needed on hurd).
(Most probably the same patch could be applied to perl 5.14 too,
although I have not tested it.)

Thanks,

Thanks.

The other things look fine to me, but about this one:

> +libswanted="$libswanted pthread"

hints/gnu.sh already has

set `echo X "$libswanted "| sed -e 's/ nsl / /' -e 's/ c / pthread /'`

which to my eye looks pthread already ends up in libswanted (because
Configure includes 'c' there unconditionally.) Isn't this enough? Is
it broken? Does pthread need to be the last library in the list?

(If this is related to the libdb_needs_pthread block in hints/linux.sh,
 the whole libdb.so test probably needs to be copied into gnu.sh too
 for upstreaming this properly.)

To be honest that part gave me a small doubt, so I decided to put it 
anyway. I'll trust you in that, so that pthread addition in my patch can 
go.

The issue has become particularly important since newer libc breaks old
perl...

Ah, that's unfortunate. Thanks for the note, I'll upload a fixed perl soon.
