I could be wrong here because the Perl build system is about the most confusing I've seen, but I think it defaults to /usr/bin/less. In the file Porting/config.sh, I think it holds defaults for various values. The comment says: # This file was produced by running the Configure script. It holds all the # definitions figured out by Configure. Should you modify one of these values, # do not forget to propagate your changes by running "Configure -der". You may # instead choose to run each of the .SH files by yourself, or "Configure -S". # # Package name : perl5 # Source directory : . # Configuration time: Fri Jul 16 20:59:18 BST 2004 # Configured by : yourname # Target system : linux bagpuss.unfortu.net 2.4.19-rmk4 #3 fri oct 25 21:57: 55 bst 2002 armv4l unknown This makes me think that it will use these defaults in Configure unless you pass values in. Later, there is: pager='/usr/bin/less' A bunch of other files had references to pager, but most were sources. hints/linux.sh doesn't contain any info about pager or less. Configure, obviously, since you can pass -Dpager. Nothing else looked too promising. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
