Subject: DISTVNAME not working?
Hi I was trying to use in the MakeMaker configuration hash: 'DISTVNAME' => '$(top_distdir)/$(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION)/NAT', and MY::postamble with: VERSION = @VERSION@ PACKAGE = @PACKAGE@ top_distdir = .. distdir = $(top_distdir)/$(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION)/NAT but this seems not to work. I can't find anywhere under Makefile the DISTVNAME definition (weird). I solved this adding a line on postamble: DISTVNAME=$(top_distdir)/$(PACKAGE)-$(VERSION)/NAT Cheers ambs

This is not a fix to the real problem. I find DISTVNAME under # --- MakeMaker dist section: Maybe you're doing something that confuses the dist section? -- andreas

Probably :-) I am trying to include the module under a autoconf tools C package. Thus, I want to override the dist section. So, I am using 'SKIP' => [ qw/dist dist_basics dist_core dist_dir dist_test dist_ci/ ], At least I *need* to skip the 'dist' rule. But I was expecting that this variable would be defined globally and not in any of these rules.

That would do it. Due to MakeMaker's lack of a method naming convention, the dist method outputs things like the DISTVNAME variables and not the dist target. Do you really need to skip all that or just override it? As "dist" does nothing but output variables you should be able to leave it alone.

Hi, Schwern. Not bad, one year to answer to a ticket. Hehehe. Kidding :) I can't remember how I did it, but I solved my problem. Can you please close this ticket? Thank you and happy 2008! Alberto
