Compiling git from source RPM git-1.6.5-1.fc9.src.rpm using $ rpmbuild --rebuild git-1.6.5-1.fc9.src.rpm fails with the following error: SUBDIR perl /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL PREFIX='/usr' Only one of PREFIX or INSTALL_BASE can be given. Not both. make[1]: *** [perl.mak] Error 2 make: *** [perl/perl.mak] Error 2 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.53174 (%build) Compiling git from source with $ make prefix=/home/local/git \ bindir=/home/local/git \ gitexecdir=/home/local/git \ template_dir=/home/local/git \ GIT_PYTHON_DIR=/home/local/git gives the same error. It might matter that I am using modern Perl way of installing Perl modules locally, via local::lib, with ~/perl5/.modulebuildrc containing install --install_base /home/jnareb/perl5 and I have export MODULEBUILDRC="$HOME/perl5/.modulebuildrc" export PERL_MM_OPT="INSTALL_BASE=$HOME/perl5" Doing $ unset PERL_MM_OPT before compiling (from SRPMS) made compilation pass this stage, and finally succeed. I guess that perl/Makefile (or rather the file that generates it) should unset PERL_MM_OPT, or use INSTALL_BASE as DESTDIR rather than fiddling with PREFIX. But I am not a Perl hacker ------------------------------------------------------------ perl, v5.8.6 ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.54 (local) ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.17 (global) export MODULEBUILDRC="$HOME/perl5/.modulebuildrc" export PERL_MM_OPT="INSTALL_BASE=$HOME/perl5" -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
