I found out why my build of perl 5.6.0 on my Virtual PC box failed.
Because it's building miniperl dynamically. I can't see any obvious reason
for this. My freshly installed (from CD) 1.5 desktop machine builds a
libperl.a; my freshly installed (from the same CD) 1.5 Virtual PC box builds
a libperl.so, and the resulting miniperl doesn't work.
Running makes on a couple of other boxes, every other NetBSD box I have is
building a libperl.a, not a libperl.so, and builds successfully.
Looking around, I notice that the pkgsrc/lang/perl5-base/Makefile is
1.1.something on VPC, and 1.2 on the desktop... but I was pretty sure I
unpacked them both from the CD. !?!
Anyway, it's clearly pilot error of some sort. Don't mind me, and don't
worry about weird VPC emulator bugs.
