Hello.
I'm facing trouble building a specific perl package, which is Bioperl-Ext.
Compolation is OK, but installation installs source files instead of perl
modules and binaries.
I've tested it on mandrake cooker, using perl 5.8.2, using either:
perl Makefile.PL
perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor
Here is an output exemple:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bioperl-ext-1.4]$ make install
make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/guillomovitch/tmp/bioperl-ext-1.4/Bio/Ext/Align'
make[1]: Leaving directory

make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/guillomovitch/tmp/bioperl-ext-1.4/Bio/SeqIO/staden'
make[1]: Leaving directory

Installing /home/guillomovitch/tmp/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/Bio/Ext/Align/typemap
...
This package is reported to build fine on MacOsX, with perl 5.8.1
Looking closer at the build process, it seems all source files are first
copied to blib subdirectory, but then actual compilation happens in original
source directories:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bioperl-ext-1.4]$ make
cp Bio/Ext/Align/libs/hscore.h blib/lib/Bio/Ext/Align/libs/hscore.h
cp Bio/Ext/Align/libs/linesubs.h blib/lib/Bio/Ext/Align/libs/linesubs.h
cp Bio/Ext/Align/libs/probability.c blib/lib/Bio/Ext/Align/libs/probability.c
cp Bio/Ext/Align/test.pl blib/lib/Bio/Ext/Align/test.pl
...
make[1]: Entering directory
`/home/guillomovitch/tmp/bioperl-ext-1.4/Bio/Ext/Align'
cp Align.pm ../blib/lib/Bio/Ext/Align.pm
DEFINE='-DPOSIX -DNOERROR'; CC='gcc'; export DEFINE INC CC; \
cd libs && make CC=gcc libsw.a -e
make[2]: Entering directory
`/home/guillomovitch/tmp/bioperl-ext-1.4/Bio/Ext/Align/libs'
gcc -c -O -c -o aln.o aln.c
gcc -c -O -c -o alnconvert.o alnconvert.c
...
I also have some kind of warning message when running perl Makefile.PL:
One or more DATA sections were not processed by Inline.
I can send Makefile.PL and generated Makefiles if needed.
