I recently sent out some experimental code whose install script tries
to unpack, build, and install a (shipped) copy of YAML.pm, as:
:
...
# Install YAML, if need be.
YDIR='YAML-0.39'
if [ "`bin/module_chk YAML`" = '' ]; then
echo "Installing YAML"
( cd supp; tar xf $YDIR.tar
cd $YDIR; perl Makefile.PL; make; make install
cd ..; rm -rf $YDIR
)
fi
...
The module_chk command simply reports the first instance of a
"YAML" directory it finds in a directory in @INC:
#!/usr/bin/env perl
...
use strict;
use warnings;
{
my ($inc, $module);
$module = $ARGV[0];
foreach $inc (@INC) {
if (-d "$inc/$module") {
print "$inc/$module\n";
exit
} } }
On my machine, this prints:
/Library/Perl/5.8.6/YAML
The installation code works fine on the local machines I tried out
here, but make(1) didn't work on some recipients' machines, as:
make: *** No rule to make target
`/System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE/config.h',
needed by `Makefile'. Stop.
Again, looking at local machines, the specified file (config.h) exists.
Help?
