I'm still working on my (B)LFS-7.2 buildout. Time for the perl modules with perl-5.16.1. I asked about it a few weeks ago, thought in the mean time I could do the XFCE build, but had to come back to it.
But, contrary to advice, I didn't want to build them piecemeal. I wanted to build whatever further development would likely need, do it once and be done with it. I figured what LFSers had put in Anduin's perlmods was a likely place to start. I took the file list in January as my point of departure. I eliminated the astronomical and "business" stuff as "applications" (though I did keep the stock quote stuff). I fed that list of packages to "cpan -i" and extracted what it loaded in order with its attempt at resolving dependencies. Then it was a matter of getting the packages, resolving a "dependency hell", and repeat until done--I can't remember how many times! One other thing: I wanted the end result to be well tested, so many testing modules were included. (My kernel doesn't yet have IPv6 support so those modules failed to build, as did the tests, though I included them for later if needed.) In case anybody else coming along is interested I'm attaching my build script, which has the module list in order. On my Conroe E6700 it takes about 15min to build. The gzip compressed tarball of what gets installed is 13MB. The test report is: Test files OK 2692 Test files skipped 332 Total tests run 417197 Now, back to XFCE. ;-) -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
