p5-net-libidn install not finding libidn

[abh (Ask Bjørn Hansen)]

When compiling p5-net-libidn, the configure step says it can't link with libidn. The latest libidn port is installed (and worked for curl etc).

This looks like a duplicate of #28220. Does the patch attached there help?

Sorta -- removing the files/patch-Makefile.PL.diff file (and the related line in the Portfile) and removing all the post-patch lines, but adding

configure.args-append   --with-libidn=${prefix}/lib --with-libidn-inc=${prefix}/include

does make it work.

Not sure if the problem is that with the Xcode version I use /Developer/usr/bin/clang is the default compiler, rather than gcc?

(Also, thank you for the prompt feedback earlier!)

Good guess... I can confirm the build fails with clang on Snow Leopard. But the proposed fix did not fix it for me. I committed a fix that does work for me in r81637.

Excellent - thanks again Ryan!
