>Description:

I tried to build gnucash on MacOS X 10.3.2, but failed.
The immediate problem was that gnucash depends on perl, and the
makefile for perl in pkgsrc/lang/perl5/Makefile has the line
NOT_FOR_PLATFORM=Darwin-*-*

Since perl ships with the system, perhaps it should be able
to depend on that instead.

>How-To-Repeat:

Try to build gnucash on macos X.
The following is a log of my attempt.
