Hey all. In doing a portupgrade -RvN for windowmaker, Perl and libiconv
were recompiled. I saved the log output and noticed several oddities I
was wondering if anyone can explain?
1..several settings come up as undefined during the Perl build, namely:
$i_malloc
$d_setegid
$d_seteuid
$i_iconv
These don't look troubling by themselves dur to 'autoconf magic,' but
the next one for libiconv is more bothersome:
From libiconv 1.9.1_3 configure:
checking if libtool supports shared libraries... yes
*** Warning: the command libtool uses to detect shared libraries,
*** /usr/bin/file, produces output that libtool cannot recognize.
*** The result is that libtool may fail to recognize shared libraries
*** as such. This will affect the creation of libtool libraries that
*** depend on shared libraries, but programs linked with such libtool
*** libraries will work regardless of this problem. Nevertheless, you
*** may want to report the problem to your system manager and/or to
*** bug-libtool at gnu.org
Any ideas?
Also, is there a way to pass configure options to portupgrade, or should
I run make clean && ./configure for each port in an 'upgrade chain' and
then force portupgrade to not make clean prior to building/installing?
Thanks,
Scott
