Description Andrew "RhodiumToad" Gierth 2023-11-11 07:16:46 UTC 
Exim 4.97 build apparently depends on perl5 being present at build time, for exigrep. The port makefile declares only a run dependency, so unless EMBEDDED_PERL is set (which brings in perl as a build dependency too), it fails at that point:

./macro_predef > macro.c
>>> exicyclog script built
>>> exinext script built
>>> exiwhat script built
/bin/sh: ./exigrep: not found
*** Error code 127
Comment 1 Andrew "RhodiumToad" Gierth 2023-11-11 07:21:08 UTC 
In addition, it looks like p5-File-FcntlLock is also required at build time even if EMBEDDED_PERL is off.

I can confirm this issue here and suggest attached patch. IMHO no bump necessary, no change with default options and build with disabled EMBEDDED_PERL was broken...
