Bug #123310 for List-MoreUtils: Failure to build the latest List::MoreUtils (0.426) under Perl interpreters without threading support

Hello I have a simple test project https://github.com/mgcam/lmu_tests that declared dependency on List::MoreUtils v. 0.425 and, when being built, tries to install the latest version of this module. The Travis builds for this project are done under a number of different Perl interpreters. The installation is unsuccessful under Perl interpreters without threading support. Is there a bug in a build process for the latest version?

Hi, unfortunately I have no idea what causes your build to fail - the log looks sane to me. List::MoreUtils itself builds fine with threaded and unthreaded perls, see https://travis-ci.org/perl5-utils/List-MoreUtils It's maybe the difference in trusty vs. precise?

Yes, we noticed that your package itself passes tests OK on all possible Perls. But... your tests do not try to get the package from CPAN and build this way. I noticed that your Travis build pre-installs some Perl packages that are later used during the build. Cannot see though why this would matter only on one type of interpreter Show quoted text

I've tried to add trusty, we'll see. I can see you've done the same.

But my tests for https://travis-ci.org/perl5-utils/File-ConfigDir do that. I restarted the build to see what happens. Anyway - cpantesters do exactly the same, the download the package from CPAN, build them and report the results. See * http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=List-MoreUtils+0.426 * http://www.cpantesters.org/distro/L/List-MoreUtils.html to ensure that fetch and build from CPAN works in general. Show quoted text

This is because I do author builds. Show quoted text

I try my best, but I fear its something beyond my scope. Let's wait what https://travis-ci.org/perl5-utils/File-ConfigDir reports ;) Cheers, Jens

Trusty builds success/fail in the same way https://travis-ci.org/mgcam/lmu_tests/builds/289160843 -- The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute is operated by Genome Research Limited, a charity registered in England with number 1021457 and a company registered in England with number 2742969, whose registered office is 215 Euston Road, London, NW1 2BE.

You need more information. Try remove --quiet from cpanm call, if that doesn't help, remove --notest.

I slowly get an idea where your problem comes from: Graham Knop described it in https://github.com/perl5-utils/List-MoreUtils/issues/22 and promised a patch for that in https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=122875#txn-1745994 (but he might by busy ...). Unfortunately my attempt always deletes List::MoreUtils::XS when an older LMU was found... and this made things worse.

Thank you, looks promising. Our original problem is a failure of tests for a large software package that is due to be released, I created my small example to illustrate the problem. In production we are not going to have the kind of problems Travis build has since we install into a directory outside Perl interpreter and set PERL5LIB to point to this directory. I'll delete non-threaded interpreter from my Travis build for now. On 18/10/2017 06:50, Jens Rehsack via RT wrote: Show quoted text
