Ok then, we'll ask him.
Hi. We're discussing this bit in ExtUtils::MM_Unix.
if ($Is_NetBSD && $Config{'useshrplib'}) {
# Use nothing on static perl platforms, and to the flags needed
# to link against the shared libperl library on shared perl
# platforms. We peek at lddlflags to see if we need -Wl,-R
# or -R to add paths to the run-time library search path.
if ($Config{'lddlflags'} =~ /-Wl,-R/) {
$libs .= ' -L$(PERL_INC) -Wl,-R$(INSTALLARCHLIB)/CORE -lperl';
} elsif ($Config{'lddlflags'} =~ /-R/) {
$libs .= ' -L$(PERL_INC) -R$(INSTALLARCHLIB)/CORE -lperl';
}
}
It appears that $(INSTALLARCHLIB)/CORE is a mistake. INSTALLARCHLIB
is where the architecture specific libraries are going to be installed.
By default this is $(PERL_ARCHLIB) but it can be changed if the
user sets it explicitly or implicitly with something like PREFIX. This
means the files in CORE won't be found like the Perl headers and shared
libraries.
We're trying to figure out if we should just replace INSTALLARCHLIB with
PERL_ARCHLIB, or put both INSTALLARCHLIB and PERL_ARCHLIB in. It seems
like the former is correct.
Did you deliberately intend to use INSTALLARCHLIB for some reason or did
you accidentally use it instead of PERL_ARCHLIB?
