Bug #47254 for Module-Build: [PATCH] Add configure_requires to prereq_report

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Curtis Jewell <lists.perl.module-build@csjewell.fastmail.us> Date: Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 3:44 PM Subject: Weird thing I just noticed... (output in message, patch attached) To: module-build@perl.org Shouldn't the prereq_report action report on configure_requires if it exists? (And is there a reason why configure_requires is not in prereq_action_types?) Here's output from M::B 0.33 and one of my own modules that shows the issue: C:\Documents and Settings\Curtis\Desktop\Blueberry Perl\Work\Module-Build-Functions>type META.yml --- name: Module-Build-Functions version: 0.001_010 author:  - 'Curtis Jewell <csjewell@cpan.org>' abstract: Module::Install style syntax for Module::Build license: perl resources:  license: http://dev.perl.org/licenses/ configure_requires:  Module::Build: 0.31 requires:  File::Slurp: 0  perl: 5.005 build_requires:  Capture::Tiny: 0.06  Module::Build: 0.31  Test::Compile: 0  Test::More: 0 provides:  Module::Build::Functions:    file: lib/Module/Build/Functions.pm    version: 0.001_010 generated_by: Module::Build version 0.33 meta-spec:  url: http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec-v1.4.html  version: 1.4 C:\Documents and Settings\Curtis\Desktop\Blueberry Perl\Work\Module-Build-Functions>Build prereq_report build_requires:    Module             Need    Have    ----------------+--------+----------    Capture::Tiny      0.06     0.06    Module::Build      0.31     0.33    Test::Compile      0        0.08    Test::More         0        0.86 requires:    Module           Need     Have    --------------+---------+----------    File::Slurp      0         9999.13    perl             5.005     5.10.0 After the patch applied to a checkout of r12858: C:\Documents and Settings\Curtis\Desktop\Blueberry Perl\Work\Module-Build>Build test t\PL_files.t .......... 1/6 #   Failed test 'PL_files not installed from bin' #   at t\PL_files.t line 48. # Looks like you failed 1 test of 6. t\PL_files.t ..........
