Description (last modified by macsforever2000@…) (diff)
To build p5-net-libidn, one must first create the make file from Makefile.PL
When I tried to install the latest version, 0.12_0, the Makefile that was created didn't pick up the correct settings from the $libdir and $incdir which caused the linking to fail because it tried to link with the standard os x libraries.
The command that failed was the
cd <workdir> && /opt/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor
The "perl Makefile.PL" command can take the arguments --with-libidn and --with-libidn-inc and I was able to use them to set the correct paths,
cd <workdir> && /opt/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL --with-libidn=/opt/local/lib --with-libidn-inc=/opt/local/include
but there is probably a better way to solve that. Perhaps the correct paths could/should be picked up automatically - but for some reason they weren't.
I just wanted to file this as a bug in case someone else has a problem with it.

Curious, it builds fine for me without the patch. But a duplicate #30560 has been filed so apparently it still affects some users.
