Description Christian Westgaard 2013-09-26 19:13:05 CEST

Can't build perl with either perlbrew or plenv.

For some reason both stdarg.h and varargs.h are not found even though
$ ls -l /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-mageia-linux-gnu/4.7.2/include/*arg.h 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2598 May  4 23:07 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-mageia-linux-gnu/4.7.2/include/cross-stdarg.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4203 May  4 23:07 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-mageia-linux-gnu/4.7.2/include/stdarg.h

The compiler has the directory in its internal include list,
but that doesn't help.

This seems to be related (even though its regarding MacOSX)
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1042300

Adding the directory to CFLAGS did not seem to help:
./Configure -des -Dinc_version_list="5.18.1" -Dcc='/usr/bin/gcc' -Doptimize='-O2' -DDEBUGGING=-g -Dmyhostname=localhost -Dperladmin=root@localhost -Dcf_email=root@localhost -Dperllibs='-lnsl -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc -pthread' -Ud_csh -Duseshrplib -Duseithreads -Di_db -Di_ndbm -Di_gdbm -Dprefix="$HOME/perl5/perlbrew/perls/mageia-perl-5.18.1-bug10449" -DCFLAGS="-I/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-mageia-linux-gnu/4.7.2/include"

Sorry for the time to answer - real life kicked in quite hard.

Is this bug still valid?
Have you correctly launched "perlbrew init" at the beginning?

Try removing the -Dinc_version_list flag from you command line.
Also, can you paste the exact error message (+session transcript)?

Comment 3 Marja Van Waes 2015-03-31 16:02:51 CEST

Mageia 3 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status 4 months ago.
http://blog.mageia.org/en/2014/11/26/lets-say-goodbye-to-mageia-3/ 

Mageia 3 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
