perl5.12 won't compile with Xcode 4 on 10.6

[christopher.hearn@…]

After upgrading to Xcode4, perl5.12 won't compile:

$ sudo port -v upgrade outdated

And it hangs at that point.

The portfile for Perl5 should have this configure.post_args added : -Dusenm=n

If you can, try to add it manually, it should work.

That helps, I get further, but now:

Ah, strange, it built all right for me. Looks like there still is a problem in the configuration phase. Can you clean, try to rebuild and send the whole log? Thanks.

It appears that for an unknown reason, the "make depend" phase is not being invoked. That's what you lack. But why?

Does Xcode 4 really modify libSystem (or the libc symlink)? The failing check for the C library is grepping for fprintf in the contents of libc, and it's definitely there on my 10.6 system.

[Veence (Vincent)]

Then try also adding this line, in addition to the previous one:

-D libc=/usr/lib/system/libsystem_c.dylib

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Again, does Xcode 4 add that? It doesn't exist on my system. If we're actually talking about an unreleased operating system that shall remain nameless and not Xcode 4 per se, there's an existing ticket: #28603

OS is 10.6.6

No longer maintainer

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

Perl5.12 is no longer maintained upstream and MacPorts no longer ships it, so I'm closing this ticket as "outdated".
