I'm pretty sure this is an MMS bug. I've never been able to whittle
it down to a really simple reproducer, but removing MMS from the
equation or removing mixed-case filenames from the equation has
always solved the problem. It's probably comparing ".xs" with ".XS"
somewhere, not finding a match, and deciding it doesn't have a rule
to apply.
On the todo list for Monday, make a small reproducer and submit a bug report for MMS.
That makes it explicit, but the impliicit rule should work.It looks like for some reason either MAKEMAKER is not generating the required action line, or that the dependency line should really be something like:
attrs.c : attrs.xs $(XSUBPPDEPS)
I have always used explicit rules in the .MMS scripts that I write, even on ODS-2 I have had problems getting some implicit rules to work, so I gave up trying a long time ago.
Switch to MMK or force your filenames to be all upper case by unpacking your archive like so:
Installing MMK is faster than unpacking the archive again.
Has anyone tried using the GNV supplied make to build Perl? The configure.com script seems to find it.
