Hi freebsd-perl at freebsd.org
On 9.1-release & up, how can one compile lang/perl5.14 static ?
cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5.14 ; make LDFLAGS=-static      # Fails
LDFLAGS=-static in /etc/make.conf 			  Fails
My hack fails:

Other ideas please ?

I want perl static so I can debug/solve a problem with procmail calling
demime calling perl, perl is now in /usr/local, where shared libs are
no longer being seen from my procmail filter
	http://berklix.com/~jhs/dots/.procmailrc
	http://berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/FreeBSD/ports/gen/mail/demime

I was seeing a similar lack of shared libs problem with /usr/local/bin/emil
called from procmail, until I compiled emil static.
http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/src/bsd/fixes/freebsd/ports/gen/mail/emil/Makefile.REL=9.1-RELEASE.diff

Idealy I would solve the problem in procmail, but I dont know how,
	adding -p to .forward did not help
	adding 
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/lib/compat:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/browser_plugins/gnash:/usr/local/GNUstep/Local/Library/Libraries:/usr/local/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries:/usr/local/kde4/lib:/usr/local/lib/R/lib:/usr/local/lib/alsa-lib:/usr/local/lib/compat:/usr/local/lib/dovecot:/usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap:/usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda:/usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3:/usr/local/lib/event2:/usr/local/lib/ffmpeg1:/usr/local/lib/gcc42:/usr/local/lib/gcc46:/usr/local/lib/gnash:/usr/local/lib/graphviz:/usr/local/lib/httrack:/usr/local/lib/libxul:/usr/local/lib/mysql:/usr/local/lib/nss:/usr/local/lib/pth:/usr/local/lib/qt4:/usr/local/lib/virtualbox
to .procmailrc did not help

I cc'd Maintainers of procmail emil & [ex]demime  FYI

Any ideas welcome, Thanks.

PS I am not on perl at freebsd.org, please keep jhs at berklix.com on CC.

Cheers,
Julian
