Hi Rob: Looking through the Changes file and some emails to the list, I
thought I had determined that this multiple build behavior started
with this fix:
CED 09-Jul-2008
Makefile.PL, Basic/Gen/Makefile.PL - fix bug #1994598 - circular
dependency problems.
This has to do with making the override to processPL required for
both Linux and Windows, instead of just Windows:
----------------%<--------------------------------------------------
#EU::MM's processPL() is continually broken on Win32 ... hence:
sub MY::processPL {
### This fix seems necessary with current versions of MM - otherwise
it creates circular
### dependencies to "pm_to_blib" for .PL files (!) -- CED 9-July-2008
if(1) { ## || $^O =~ /MSWin32/i && ($Config{make} eq 'dmake' ||
$Config{make} eq 'nmake')) {
my($self) = shift;
return "" unless $self->{PL_FILES};
my(@m, $plfile);
...
----------------%<--------------------------------------------------
It does seem that this fix is necessary, though--someone thought a
MakeMaker change necessitated it.
Regards,
Doug
