What about the MakeMaker dependency?
The call to ldopts will fail if MakeMaker is not present, so this will
cover it. It's very unlikely to be absent - it's required to build
almost every Perl module known to man.
I see. I think then the error message should read something like
AC_MSG_ERROR([could not determine flags for linking embedded Perl
This probably means that ExtUtils::Embed or ExtUtils::MakeMaker is not
installed.])
Otherwise, looks good.
OK. Should we backpatch this? Arguably it's a build bug.
(Also it would be good if someone were to whisper in the ears of the
Fedora people that removing ExtUtils::Embed entirely from their Perl
packaging is a dumb thing to do. This is a standard Perl module, that
one would normally expect to accompany every Perl distribution.)
cheers
