| Subject: | Makefile.PL fail to accept PREFIX property |
Hello,
I got an error when trying to install Crypt-Cracklib:
[13:27] perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/tmp
[user@host:/tmp/Crypt-Cracklib-0.01]
Enter the directory where crack.h/packer.h is located
Can't open PREFIX=/tmp: No such file or directory at Makefile.PL line 23.
[/usr/local/include]
Enter the directory where libcrack.(so|a) is located
[/usr/local/lib]
and here I do ctrl-c to interrupt the installation.
The problem seem to be that "<>" in Makefile.PL line 23 (and line 44)
thinks that my "PREFIX=/tmp" is some kind of file which can't execute
(or be found). So I fail to set the PREFIX property which is needed for
my system.
The workaround for me is to use (for bash or zsh atleast):
perl Makefile.PL <(echo /service/cracklib/include; echo
/service/cracklib/lib) PREFIX=/tmp
Surely the Makefile.PL is supposed to be able to handle the PREFIX-property?
I am sorry not to be able to have an example for patch.
Besides this issue I think it is a great package!
package: Crypt::Cracklib0.01
OS: SunOS <hostname> 5.9 Generic_118558-06 sun4u sparc
perl: v5.8.5 built for sun4-solaris
