Bug #89524 for ExtUtils-MakeMaker: INC-parameter ignored

Tue Oct 15 07:39:04 2013 mjeckelmann [...] gmail.com - Ticket created

Subject:	INC-parameter ignored

Hi all, Assume the following scenario: - I unpack, make, test and install module A to a non-default directory e.g. /opt/application (via INSTALL_BASE) - Then I unpack, make and try to test module B that relies heavily upon module B. However, that step fails, since the perl interpreter does not find module A's sources. The solution to that issue was, from my point of view, to add the INC-parameter to module B's Makefile.PL. In the resulting Makefile, however, INC does appear once in a comment and once at its definition, but is never read (in terms of passing it to the interpreter or similar). Here's the code I'm running from within my Makefile.PL for module B: use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; WriteMakefile( NAME => 'ModuleB', VERSION_FROM => 'lib/ModuleB.pm', AUTHOR => 'M. J. <some.email@address.com>', INSTALL_BASE => '/opt/application', INC => '/opt/application/lib/perl5', ); After running the make-chain, "make test" fails, since it does not find module A (pointed by the INC-parameter). A fix would be appreciated. ;) Thanks for enabling us to easily pack, deploy and build stuff! :) Manuel

Hi, The INC attribute is for specifying include directories for building XS extensions. You possibly would want the PERL5LIB environment variable, documented in perlrun Or local::lib. Many thanks.
