This is probably the same bug that we've been hunting for years: April 2009: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/117710 October 2010: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/158251 March 2011: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/170153 I proposed a patch in the middle one, but of course we have no idea if it works or not, since the problem is so hard to reproduce. > Probably the old perl.mak is the problem, and the only thing I can think > for reasons why it wasn't regenerated is this: > > diff --git a/perl/Makefile b/perl/Makefile > index 15d96fc..766d02a 100644 > --- a/perl/Makefile > +++ b/perl/Makefile > @@ -79,7 +79,7 @@ $(makfile): ../GIT-CFLAGS Makefile > echo instlibdir: >> $@ > echo ' echo $(instdir_SQ)' >> $@ > else > -$(makfile): Makefile.PL ../GIT-CFLAGS > +$(makfile): Makefile.PL ../GIT-CFLAGS Makefile > $(PERL_PATH) $< PREFIX='$(prefix_SQ)' INSTALL_BASE='' > --localedir='$(localedir_SQ)' > endif > > Could someone please take a look at it? That only takes effect if NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER is set, and I think we see the bug even when it is not set. Also, I'm not clear on what part of Makefile that command would depend on (the GIT-CFLAGS dependency should cover the directory parameters). -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
