(In reply to Mathieu Arnold from comment #2)

(1) A mistake?

The ${REINPLACE_CMDNPLACE_CMD} uses seem to translate to empty strings. (I
tried a direct "make post-build" in /usr/ports/lang/perl5.22 with CC set
appropriately because the REINPLACE_CMDNPLACE_CMD text just looked odd. This
was after patching the Makefile.)

Should those have been ${REINPLACE_CMD} uses instead?

(This suggests that avoiding the Makefile and directly sed'ing the Config.pm
and Config_heavy.pl files in /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.xx/... would not make a
great overall test as it would miss the above problem.)


(2) How to test the overall behavior?

My builds of perl5 would never have ${CC} == /nxb-bin/usr/bin/cc normally and
if I tried having that path in the CC definition in my /etc/make.conf the build
would normally fail for lack of such a path.

My original work around to pkg installing something that was broken was to
build the lang/perl5 port instead of using "pkg install perl5". That had no
"/nxb-bin/usr/bin/cc" involved and worked fine. (It still works fine with the
patch to the perl5 Makefile involved.)

I expect that the /nxb-bin/usr/bin/cc comes from how things are built to make
official packages (as done on the official servers). I do not know how to set
up such a build.

The closest simple test idea that I've come up with would be to temporarily
have /nxb-bin/usr/bin/cc be a symbolic link to /usr/bin/cc during a perl5.xx
build in my environment and have /etc/make.conf's CC reference
/nxb-bin/usr/bin/cc at that time. Then later change /etc/make.conf's CC to
reference /usr/bin/cc and remove /nxb-bin/usr/bin/cc from the file system
before seeing if the devel/p5-Locale-gettext build problem repeats.

Sound sufficient?
