Bug #75730 for Math-Cephes: Build failure on x86

Tue Mar 13 01:33:48 2012 ian [...] bartonia.net - Ticket created

Subject:	Build failure on x86_64 Mac
Date:	Tue, 13 Mar 2012 00:33:37 -0500
To:	bug-Math-Cephes [...] rt.cpan.org
From:	Ian Barton <ian [...] bartonia.net>

Perl verson: 5.12.3 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.7.3 (Lion) Darwin 11.3.0 Darwin Kernel Version 11.3.0 x86_64 Math::Cephes appears to build on Mac OS X Lion but many of the tests fail. A review of the build process revealed that the Makefile is not being created properly to handle the x86_64 build type. The following patch appears to resolve the issue: --- Makefile.PL 2009-01-05 18:59:24.000000000 -0600 +++ Makefile.PL 2012-03-10 10:47:55.000000000 -0600 @@ -78,7 +78,7 @@ elsif ($is_dar) { require POSIX; my $machine = (POSIX::uname())[4]; - if ($machine eq 'i386') { + if ($machine eq 'i386' or $machine eq 'x86_64') { $defs{IBMPC} = 1; } else {

I've applied this in Math-Cephes-0.47. This is a module looking for a new maintainer since Randy Kobes, its creator, passed away. If anyone would like to look after it, please contact modules@perl.org.

From:

v.n.simeonova [...] me.com

I'm trying to compilate it, but found that there is no such file as mconf.h. That's why I descide to cut a small part from the Makefile.PL about opening the mconf.h. After that I get this message in the terminal: Last login: Tue May 15 21:09:49 on ttys000 Valeriyas-MacBook:~ valerina$ perl /Users/valerina/SciDev/Ported\ Linux\ Installations/Math-Cephes-0.47/Makefile2.PL Could not open 'lib/Math/Cephes.pm': No such file or directory at /sw/lib/perl5/5.12.3/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm line 2639. Valeriyas-MacBook:~ valerina$ So, removing part of the code doesn't lead to compillation. If somebody could send it to me, I'll appreciate that.

Thanks for the patch. It was now applied in the git repository here: https://github.com/shlomif/Math-Cephes I'll upload it to CPAN soon. Regards, -- Shlomi Fish

1. You should run Makefile.PL/etc. from the module's directory. So cd there first and run the "perl Makefile.PL" command verbatim. 2. It's not a good idea to build Perl modules (or anything UNIXy) in paths that contain spaces. So please don't do that. Regards, -- Shlomi Fish
