| Subject: | Makefile.PL related build failure on OSX.4 |
I installed libevent version 1.1a-2 with fink (fink install libevent1).
By default, Makefile.PL runs cleanly but creates a bad makefile resulting in an include error:
root@wide:~/.cpan/build/Event-Lib-1.03-MIn5YC # perl Makefile.PL
Checking existance of libevent.../usr/bin/ld: warning -L: directory name (/opt/local/lib)
does not exist
yes

event_set_log_callback...yes
event_priority_init...yes
Additional defines: -DHAVE_LOG_CALLBACKS -DHAVE_PRIORITIES
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -levent

Running Makefile.PL with extra arguments yields a successful build:

It then passes the test suite with flying colors.
The Makefile.PL attempts to support fink on darwin (OSX) but fails to set the include path by
default in the makefile itself (however, it does check the existence of the library with the
correct paths.)
recommended fix: prepend "-I/sw/include " to $args{INC} if running on darwin.
