Re: cpan build perl-PDL-Graphics-PLplot

[Patrick Dupre]

Thanks for the advise.

 

However, I cannot see any distribution offering perl-PDL-Graphics-PLplot.

 

Nevertheless, this package is still active

https://metacpan.org/pod/PDL::Graphics::PLplot

 

If I cannot compile for the source, how can I make it compatible with my

distribution?

cpanm PDL::Graphics::PLplot

perl -MCPAN -e shell
install PDL::Graphics::PLplot

 

Is this acceptable?

 

Thank

Maybe, but I need to make it works. I have a key application based on this
package.

 

Usually failure to build from source (FTBFS) affects multiple distributions as well

as Apple open-source projects (macports, homebrew).  A bit of searching should 

tell you if the package is available in other distributions (debian is usually a good

place to start).   The look in the source packages for patches that fix your issue.  

 

I've been in a similar bind many times.  You need to determine whether FTBFS

has a simple fix (which you may be able to steal from another distro) or will need

a major effort, in which case you should consider alternatives to the failing

application.
