With Perl 5.8.4, OpenVMS Alpha 7.3-1, MMS V3.3-4, MMK 3.9-6, I get the
following results.
Using MMK, the build goes ok. Most tests pass, except basic.t, which has the
following problem:
# %DCL-W-TKNOVF, command element is too long - shorten
# \DSA0:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.PERL-5_8_4]PERL.EXE -E "chdir 'liar.dir'; system
'MMK/MACRO=(TEST_VERBOSE="1") test /Macro=(LIBPERL_A="LIBPERL.OLB",
LINKTYPE="DYNAMIC", OPTIMIZE="/NOLIST", PREFIX="../DUMMY-INSTALL",
DESTDIR="", PASTHRU_DEFINE="")'
if -f 'Descrip
# %MMK-F-ERRUPD, error status %X000382A0 occurred when updating target TEST
Aside from the command being too long, there is a problem with having
multiple /MACRO qualifiers on the command line; they need to be
combined into one qualifier, though in this case all it means is that
TEST_VERBOSE will be ignored.
With MMS, I can't build MakeMaker at all and get the following error:
$ mms
%MMS-F-LEXNULLNAME, Encountered null filename on line 365.
Line 365 contains:
blibdirs : $(INST_LIBDIR) $(INST_ARCHLIB) $(INST_AUTODIR) $(INST_ARCHAUTODIR)
$(INST_BIN) $(INST_SCRIPT) $(INST_MAN1DIR) $(INST_MAN3DIR)
$(NOECHO) $(NOOP)
I believe the INST_* macros are considered null file specifications
because they are just directory specs like [.foo.bar] rather than
file specs like [.foo]bar.dir. I thought we had gone back to using
.exists files rather than directories, so I'm not sure what to
suggest here.
