| Subject: | M::B's API is unable to build PathTools, but the command line version can |
Hi,
I really thought i had reported this before, but i can't find any of it in my mailbox or on RT, so forgive me is this is a duplicate.
Module::Build's API seems to not do quite the same thing as it's commandline equivalent. Due to this, the PathTools distribution is uninstallable using M::B's API (using the makefile.PL shipped with it, it works again... odd!)
Consider this code:
[kane@coke ~...build/PathTools-3.06]$ cat x.pl
use Module::Build;
warn "Using version: $Module::Build::VERSION\n";
my $mb = eval { Module::Build->new_from_context( %buildflags ) };
$mb->dispatch('build');
Running this makes Cwd not find ppport.h:
[kane@coke ~...build/PathTools-3.06]$ perlc x.pl
Using version: 0.261
/opt/bin/perl Build.PL

However, if we do the standard command line invocation, it works:
