Subject: Makefile creation issue with Pod-Usage-1.68

From: Jim Hall <jimhallsun [...] gmail.com>
Hi, I am trying to build Dancer2 and hitting some issues with some of the underlying modules. One being Pod::Usage. Seems I am having difficulty generating the Makefile. Maybe the file test is incorrect? Is this a bug or user error? Going to read '/home/jhall/.cpan/Metadata' Database was generated on Wed, 20 Jan 2016 19:17:02 GMT Running test for module 'Pod::Usage' Running make for M/MA/MAREKR/Pod-Usage-1.68.tar.gz Checksum for /home/jhall/.cpan/sources/authors/id/M/MA/MAREKR/Pod-Usage-1.68.tar.gz ok Scanning cache /home/jhall/.cpan/build for sizes ............................................................................DONE Package seems to come without Makefile.PL.

I think you are right. I downloaded the code by hand and gunzip'd and untar'd it using the following (this is Solaris 11.2): jhall@jimwin8:~/.cpan/build/tmp$ gunzip Pod-Usage-1.68.tar.gz jhall@jimwin8:~/.cpan/build/tmp$ tar

Folks on the solaris side recommended use of gtar(1). That seems to work. Sorry for cluttering up your inbox. JIM On Wed, Jan 20, 2016 at 5:37 PM, Jim Hall <jimhallsun@gmail.com> wrote: Show quoted text

Karen, Jim, thank you for reporting and looking into this. I created the tarball on Linux, and I remember that tar on Solaris is picky about the format (POSIX vs. GNU or something like that). I will happily build the next tarball in a Solaris-friendly, Linux-compatible way - do you have the appropriate (GNU) tar option(s) to use at hand? Cheers, Marek Am Mi 20.

I normally create tarballs via 'make dist'*, which lets ExtUtils::MakeMaker take care of it -- on my architecture (darwin/OSX), Makefile contains: TAR = COPY_EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES_DISABLE=1 COPYFILE_DISABLE=1 tar ..but that may be slightly different when building on another architecture (e.g. for you it might use 'gtar' rather than 'tar'). * The full release procedure, when using vanilla ExtUtils::MakeMaker, is usually: perl Makefile.PL make manifest make test <check that everything is ok..> make dist cpan-upload Foo-Bar-1.23.tar.gz

It is interesting - I have been installing a lot of modules and haven't needed gtar (or /usr/gnu/bin/tar). But to be fair there is public domain information (for Solaris 10) that says use GNU make and gtar to build modules. So my bad. But it looks like you are using ExtUtils::MakeMaker? Looks like the default if just has tar -cvf: https://metacpan.org/pod/ExtUtils::MakeMaker TAR ('tar') TARFLAGS ('cvf') Example: WriteMakefile( ...other options... dist => { COMPRESS => "bzip2", SUFFIX => ".bz2" } ); Yours is simply: dist => { COMPRESS => 'gzip', SUFFIX => 'gz' }, I look at other modules and they are simply generating tar cvf in their final Makefile. For Module::Build see here http://search.cpan.org/~leont/Module-Build-0.4216/lib/Module/Build.pm it has: By default, this action will use the Archive::Tar module. However, you can force it to use binary "tar" and "gzip" executables by supplying an explicit tar (and optional gzip) parameter: For the archives set: 'tar' => q[/usr/gnu/bin/tar] in MyConfig.pm and here is the package that needs to be on the Solaris 11 system: pkg info gnu-tar Name: archiver/gnu-tar Summary: GNU version of the tar archiving utility Description: Tar is a program for packaging a set of files as a single archive in tar format.

I can reproduce the same problem on a Debian/jessie system. To reproduce the problem it seems that a number of prerequisites have to match: * Installation is done with CPAN.pm * Archive::Tar is old (e.g. 1.54, which comes with perl 5.12.3; 1.74 does not have the problem) * CPAN.pm is either old and does not obey prefer_external_tar=1 (again, I see this with perl 5.12.3), or prefer_external_tar is set to 0 The CPAN.pm log looks like this: Running install for module 'Pod::Usage' Running make for M/MA/MAREKR/Pod-Usage-1.68.tar.gz Checksum for /home/cpansand/.cpan/sources/authors/id/M/MA/MAREKR/Pod-Usage-1.68.tar.gz ok Package seems to come without Makefile.PL. (The test -f "/home/cpansand/.cpan/build/2016050712/MAREKR-pe1ykK/Makefile.PL" returned false.) Writing one on our own (setting NAME to PodUsage) CPAN.pm: Going to build M/MA/MAREKR/Pod-Usage-1.68.tar.gz Will not send CPAN Testers report with generated Makefile.PL.
