Hoping there might be another FreeBSD user here who may have been through this already...
For reasons I don't want to trouble you with, I had to install the latest perl freebsd port into /usr/local/rt3/perl/ and now I need to get mod_perl to compile against that version. I edited the freebsd port Makefile and added MOD_PERLCONFIG=/usr/local/rt3/perl/bin/perl to CONFIGURE_ARGS and I edited the shebang line in /usr/local/bin/apxs to point to my new installation of perl. Then, I tried using this cli in the mod_perl port directory. bash-2.05b# PERL5LIB=/usr/local/rt3/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.2/i386-freebsd PREFIX=/usr/local/rt3/perl SITE_PERL=/usr/local/rt3/perl/lib/site_perl make While pieces of the compile output show that it is using /usr/local/rt3/perl/*, most of it shows that it's pulling from /usr/local/lib/perl5/* for libs. I even combed through the work directory and manually changed the references to the perl binary to /usr/local/rt3/perl/bin/perl with no luck. Same results every time. And yes, I've been doing a make clean in between compiles. I have also editied the /etc/make.conf file so that the perl options are: # grep PERL /etc/make.conf | grep '^[^#]' PERL_VER=5.8.2 PERL_VERSION=5.8.2 SITE_PERL=/usr/local/rt3/perl/lib/site_perl/${PERL_VER} PERL_ARCH=mach PERL5=/usr/local/rt3/perl/bin/perl PERL=/usr/local/rt3/perl/bin/perl NOPERL=yo NO_PERL=yo NO_PERL_WRAPPER=yo However, it doesn't even try to build the port now... # make Dependency error: you don't have the right version of perl in /usr/bin. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/www/mod_perl. I monkeyed with port's Makefile and added the variables there as well. # grep PERL Makefile | grep '^[^#]' MASTER_SITES= ${MASTER_SITE_PERL_CPAN} ${SITE_PERL}/LWP.pm:${PORTSDIR}/www/p5-libwww PERL_VER=5.8.2 PERL_VERSION=5.8.2 SITE_PERL=/usr/local/rt3/perl/lib/site_perl/${PERL_VER} PERL= /usr/local/rt3/perl/bin/perl PERL5= /usr/local/rt3/perl/bin/perl FULLPERL= /usr/local/rt3/perl/bin/perl PERL_CONFIGURE= yes CONFIGURE_ARGS+= USE_APXS=1 EVERYTHING=1 INSTALLSITELIB=${SITE_PERL} \ MOD_PERLCONFIG=/usr/local/rt3/perl/bin/perl \ INSTALLSITEARCH=${SITE_PERL}/${PERL_ARCH} \ PERL_EXTRA_CFLAGS='-DDEFAULT_PATH="/usr/local/rt3/perl/bin" -DAPPLLIB_EXP="/usr/local/rt3/perl/lib/perl5/5.8.2/BSDPAN" -DMOD_PERL_PREFIX="/usr/local/rt3/perl/lib/site_perl/5.8.2/i386-freebsd" -DDEFAULT_PATH="/usr/local/rt3/perl/bin"' I'd think that things like MOD_PERL_PREFIX would help, but it's not happening. I can't alter the perl binary in /usr/bin/perl, so how can I force mod_perl to compile using the perl binary in my non-standard perl path?
