Vicente, saiberion: would you mind sending the proposed patch to the mailing list?

Hello Thomas,

shouldn't we have an agreement on what would be the solution to this?

a) adding the perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker package to Buildroot
b) adding a dependency check as saiberion did

I personally don't like the option b), because I like to be able to use Buildroot having the minimum packages installed. And, if we keep doing this, we could end with a loooong list of dependencies to use Buildroot. I think it's better to add the perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker instead.

Maybe Francois Perrad has something to say about this since he seems to be the perl maintaner in Buildroot.

libxml-parser-perl works with the system perl (not a host-perl built by BR). ExtUtils-MakeMaker is a core Perl module, especially the module which allows to install other modules.
So, it comes with the system perl package of your distribution. The Makefile.PL of XML-Parser 2.41 uses ExtUtils-MakeMaker without a specific version requirement,
so the system ExtUtils-MakeMaker module doesn't require an update.

Could you post the full output of following commands (outside BR environment):

    $ perl -V
    $ perl -e "use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; print qq{ok\n};"

and in BR environment:

    $ make libxml-parser-perl-dirclean
    $ make libxml-parser-perl-configure

Hello Francois,

below are the outputs of the commands you suggested. You said ExtUtils-MakeMaker comes with the perl installation, but that's not true for CentOS (I guess RedHat and Fedora as well) and Gentoo.

Vicente, do you have a readily available chroot in which we can run Buildroot to reproduce this problem?

Vicente, do you have a readily available chroot in which we can run Buildroot to reproduce this problem?

No, I don't. But you can just remove perl-MakeMaker from your host machine and try to build Buildroot using a defconfig which includes libxml-parser-perl.

Well, on Debian/Ubuntu, perl-MakeMaker is part of the perl-modules package. If you try to remove it, it also removes perl, and Buildroot won't run without perl:

root at build:/# apt-get remove perl-modules
[...]
The following packages will be REMOVED:
cvs git git-core liberror-perl libfile-copy-recursive-perl perl perl-modules
sgml-base update-inetd xml-core

So it's basically a scenario that isn't possible.

On which system do you have this problem?
