Comment(by jkeenan):
I got '''very''' close to solving this problem -- only to run into the
kind of problem we used to have frequently.
On Linux/i386, I merged the spaces_in_path branch into master. (See
attached diff; I have not pushed the merge to github.) In a directory
that had spaces in its path, I then configured and installed like this:
{{{
$> pwd
/home/user/gitwork/My\ Freakin\ Parrot
$> perl Configure.pl --prefix=/tmp/pseudoinstall
$> make install
}}}
(By this point, I was passing `make fulltest`.)
I then went to the prefix directory and called:
{{{
./bin/parrot --version
}}}
... and got the expected output. I then went back to my build directory,
called `make realclean`, went back to the prefix directory, and again
called `./bin/parrot --version`. Once again, I got the expected output.
I then moved to Darwin/PPC, pulled the latest changes from the branch and
(without attempting a merge into master), replicated the above procedure
closely. I was able to build Parrot in the prefix directory and get the
expected version output.
{{{
[pseudoinstall] 507 $ ./bin/parrot --version

}}}
However, when I then called `make realclean` and then called `./bin/parrot
--version` from the install directory, I got this output:
{{{
[pseudoinstall] 508 $ ./bin/parrot --version
dyld: Library not loaded: /Users/jimk/gitwork/My Freakin
Parrot/blib/lib/libparrot.dylib
Referenced from: /Users/jimk/work/pseudoinstall/./bin/parrot
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap
}}}
The install directory is still somehow dependent on the build directory.
Can anyone help? The ''spaces_in_paths'' branch is up-to-date on github,
so I would appreciate someone taking a look.
''config/init/hints/darwin.pm'' is something which will need inspection,
but the problem may not be there. In any event, if I observe this problem
on Darwin there's a chance that it will crop up on FreeBSD as well. So I
would really like to nail this.
Thank you very much.
