can't build graphics/xfig-3.2.5b on 8.2-STABLE nor databases/p5-DBD-Oracle with lang/perl5.14

[William Bulley]

First there is the xfig issue:

No matter what the setting is for I18N (WITH or WITHOUT) there is this:

cc -c -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe       -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/libpng -I/usr/local/include/X11 -I. -I/usr/local/include    -DCSRG_BASED  -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO                                              -DUSE_INLINE -DUSE_XPM -DXAW3D -DXAW3D1_5E                     -DUSE_JPEG -DI18N  -DNEWARROWTYPES    e_edit.c
e_edit.c: In function 'generic_window':
e_edit.c:3214: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
e_edit.c: In function 'str_panel':
e_edit.c:4252: error: 'XtNinternational' undeclared (first use in this function)
e_edit.c:4252: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
e_edit.c:4252: error: for each function it appears in.)
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/xfig/work/xfig.3.2.5b.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/xfig.
*** Error code 1

I tracked this down to a problem in the Imakefile around line 153:

   #define I18N

This line was not commented out when building xfig using:

   # make install   (and WITHOUT_I18N=true inside /var/db/ports/xfig/options)

Looking further I found these two lines:

   -XCOMM #define I18N
   +#define I18N

inside the /usr/ports/graphics/xfig/files/patch-Imakefile patch file.  I think
this may be incorrect.  After commenting out the #define in the Imakefile, the
build of xfig was successful.

Secondly, I found that building databases/p5-DBD-Oracle when Perl 5.14 (from
lang/perl5.14) was present failed in the compilation of the Oracle.c file.
It seems that several Perl constants sv_undef, sv_yes, and sv_no (and others)
changed between Perl 5.12.3 and Perl 5.14 to PL_sv_undef, PL_yes, and PL_sv_no,
respectively.  I didn't take the time to debug this further since I had other
Perl 5.14 issues that forced me to completely rebuild my system from scratch
starting with Perl 5.12.3 (lang/perl5.12) this time.  Once I had Perl 5.12.3
built, databases/p5-DBD-Oracle built just fine.

My other problems with Perl 5.14 were observed trying to launch apache2 (2.2.19)
with mod_perl2 (2.0.5).  Those problems also went away once I rebuilt my ports
starting with Perl 5.12.3 version.  This makes me suspect Perl 5.14 changes or
the effect those changes have had on other ports in the ports tree.
