Hi, I am working on getting a set of modules last updated 2 years ago to work with the most recent centos. They use MakeMaker. Using the same Makefile.PL they produce different make files. The one that works looks like # --- MakeMaker metafile section: metafile : $(NOECHO) $(ECHO) yada yada It was made with 6.17 the one that doesn't looks like # --- MakeMaker metafile section: metafile : create_distdir $(NOECHO) $(ECHO) yada whatever It was made with 6.31 The problem with that is create_distdir gets run and it is dependent on META.yml so it dies Josh Bonnett Sputnik System Administrator jbonnett@sputnik.com

Yep, different versions of MakeMaker will do that. Show quoted text

Well, it certainly shouldn't die but I can't say much else. "It dies" doesn't help me figure out your problem. Could you send me the full output of trying to build your module along with your Makefile, Makefile.PL and, if possible, a tarball of your distribution?

Well I fixed it. It was a bug caused by us, so don't worry about it. Thanks for the help though. On Oct 26, 2006, at 3:18 PM, Michael_G_Schwern via RT wrote: Show quoted text
