Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-bugs->markm Over to perl maintainer who might know if pern install should use chmod. On Tue, 21 Nov 2000 16:29:01 MST, Chris Wasser wrote:

The install failure given has been discussed recently on one of the
mailing lists. Changing the permissions on the file using chmod is just
plain silly.
The install process should use install(1) to install the file with the
correct ownerships and permissions.
Therefore, the patch provided in the PR should not be adopted. It would
only obscure the real problem.
I'm still waiting for feedback that shows why tr is needed (as suggested
in kern/22405). But that should probably not be sent in as follow-up on
_this_ PR.
Ciao,
Sheldon.
State Changed
From-To: open->suspended
I've added chmod to the list of ${INSTALLTMP} files in Makefile.inc1.
This works around the horrendous perl5 build, which isn't going to
change in a hurry.

The perl install tries to do a chmod, which isn't in the installworld limited environment. I'm not sure why there are so few of us getting bitten by this, but it's an interaction between perl's own build system and FreeBSD's. This keeps a normal installworld from working... Fix: The obvious workaround is: ================================================================ However, I don't think perl should *need* the chmod, so there's probably a better answer. [I can think of some other workarounds, such as using '-k' on the make command, but this one is less ugly.]--IRmghn4uyk01DFp7Yja5rsqw0Hre25NRw6q4T2Lr8BnIdtuQ Content-Type: text/plain; name="file.diff" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="file.diff" *** Makefile.inc1~ Mon Oct 16 10:05:12 2000 --- Makefile.inc1 Mon Oct 16 10:05:30 2000 *************** *** 298,304 **** # installworld: mkdir -p ${INSTALLTMP} ! for prog in [ awk cat chflags chown date echo egrep find grep \ install ln make makewhatis mtree mv perl rm sed sh sysctl \ test true uname wc zic; do \ cp `which $$prog` ${INSTALLTMP}; \ --- 298,304 ---- # installworld: mkdir -p ${INSTALLTMP} ! for prog in [ awk cat chflags chmod chown date echo egrep find grep \ install ln make makewhatis mtree mv perl rm sed sh sysctl \ test true uname wc zic; do \ cp `which $$prog` ${INSTALLTMP}; \ ================================================================ How-To-Repeat: "make installworld" eventually leads to: ===> gnu/usr.bin/perl/library/SDBM_File cd /usr/obj/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/library/SDBM_File/ext/SDBM_File ; make -B install INSTALLPRIVLIB=/usr/libdata/perl/5.00503 INSTALLARCHLIB=/usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach cd sdbm && make all rm -rf libsdbm.a ar cr libsdbm.a sdbm.o pair.o hash.o && : libsdbm.a chmod 755 libsdbm.a chmod:No such file or directory *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/obj/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/library/SDBM_File/ext/SDBM_File/sdbm. *** Error code 1 etc.
