Greetings,
I'm new to this list after strong recommendations from people like brian d
foy and Dan Sugalski at the Mac OS X conference. I'm trying to install Perl
5.6.1 on Jaguar and I'm having troubles. I've read the tutorial on David
Wheeler's site, the instructions in the Bricolage Readme for Mac OS X, and
the posting to this list made by Ray Zimmerman. All have almost identical
instructions, but none of the variations seem to work for me.
I'm rather new to the terminal in Mac OS X, so my mistake is probably quite
trivial. From what I can tell everything is fine until it gets to the point
of the sh Configure step. I get a few warnings there. Then when I run
make, I get the message:
make: *** No rule to make target `<built-in>', needed by `miniperlmain.o'.
Stop.
People mention problems with some of the make tests failing, but this
problem crops up before I get to the make step at all.
Here's a transcript of my terminal session with /bin/zsh as my shell. I've
indented the computer response and asterisked lines that trigger stuff to
come out of standard error, but to save space here I haven't listed the
complete transcript. If you'd like the transcript or a copy of the
makefile, I'll be glad to email it to you off list.
Welcome to Darwin!

Updating GNUmakefile...
Now you must run 'make'.
If you compile perl5 on a different machine or from a different object
directory, copy the Policy.sh file from this object directory to the
new one before you run Configure -- this will help you with most of
the policy defaults.

Any ideas on what could be happening here? Thanks in advance for any help or
enlightenment you can provide.
