Problem with patch and P4CONFIG in env

[mat@…]

Hi,

I recently got myself a PB, and yesterday, I began playing with DarwinPorts, I installed a few things, and I wanted to install lang/perl5.8, there, it borked with :

---> Applying patches to perl5.8 Error: Target com.apple.patch returned: shell command "cd "/Volumes/Users/darwinports/dports/lang/perl5.8/work/perl-5.8.6" && patch -p0 < "/Volumes/Users/darwinports/dports/lang/perl5.8/files/patch-hints_darwin.sh"" returned error 2 Command output: Get file hints/darwin.sh from Perforce with lock? [y] sh: line 1: p4: command not found patch: Can't get file hints/darwin.sh from Perforce

Which is quite obfuscated. I began to look at patch's man page, found out that running patch with -g0 was resolving the problem (I patched /opt/local/share/darwinports/Tcl/port1.0/portpatch.tcl to have it just work) and after, I told myself, no, that's not the right solution, so, hum, it happens that I use perforce from time to time, and that I have a P4CONFIG in my env. Unsetting P4CONFIG solved the problem... I have unlearned Tcl long time ago, and I don't know where I should begin looking at, but it should definitively be in the FAQ, or port should clean up it's env before running commands. (I agree that MacOS X's patch is behaving strangely there).

The following patch fixes it : Index: base/src/darwinports1.0/darwinports.tcl =================================================================== RCS file: /Volumes/src/cvs/od/proj/darwinports/base/src/darwinports1.0/darwinports.tcl,v retrieving revision 1.159 diff -u -u -r1.159 darwinports.tcl --- base/src/darwinports1.0/darwinports.tcl 9 Apr 2005 09:51:03 -0000 1.159 +++ base/src/darwinports1.0/darwinports.tcl 13 Apr 2005 09:39:11 -0000 @@ -267,6 +267,10 @@
