[PATCH] fixes for ActiveState Perl

[PATCH] fixes for ActiveState Perl

[Rafael Kitover]

The make for perl is now retrieved from Perl's config. The make fragment in
perl/Makefile.PL added in MY::postamble is disabled on Win32, as it relies on
GNU make syntax, and Win32 users are not likely to have an ancient EU::MM
version.

A Windows path for PERL_PATH is now supported as well, e.g.:
make PERL_PATH=C:\\Perl\\bin\\perl
or from cmd.exe:
make PERL_PATH=C:\Perl\bin\perl
.

t9700-perl-git.sh now passes on ActiveState Perl. Some tweaks were necessary in
Git.pm: a more correct check for absolute directory, exit code check on closing
the "pipe", and always closing the cat_blob bidirectional pipe (with errors
 ignored) so as not to leave zombie processes. The waitpid call on closing the
bidirectional pipe is now timed and the process is killed if necessary. Also
added some binmode calls to t/t9700/test.pl to make the blob tests pass.

This would break my MSVC builds, since I'm using msysGit + MSVC to
build (when using MSVC)... Not that that's a big deal, I can add
"NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER = YesPlease" to my config.mak.

But I do suspect that most people who build with MSVC will have the
same problem. Is it worth the hassle?

This would break Git for Windows, as we don't have makemaker
ExtUtils::MakeMaker in msysGit.

You could probably move the definition into the THIS_IS_MSYSGIT-check, though.

Just for reference, this should still work as before on Git for
Windows, because we have a MSYS perl, so absolute paths starts with a
forward slash. And if we change to a MinGW perl, this would probably
be an improvement.

Windows perl (activestate, strawberry) uses nmake or dmake. The
makefiles for these makes are incompatible with GNU make. This code
retrieves the make Perl would use from its Config, and uses that on
invoking perl.mak .

This should also allow for using EU::MM for the MSVC+ActiveState build.

I'm sorry for not being clear; I was talking about that single
new-line, not the PERL_MAKE-stuff.

Re: [PATCH] fixes for ActiveState Perl

[Rafael Kitover]

The make for perl is now retrieved from Perl's config. The make fragment in
perl/Makefile.PL added in MY::postamble is disabled on Win32, as it relies on
GNU make syntax, and Win32 users are not likely to have an ancient EU::MM
version.

A Windows path for PERL_PATH is now supported as well, e.g.:
make PERL_PATH=C:\\Perl\\bin\\perl
or from cmd.exe:
make PERL_PATH=C:\Perl\bin\perl
.

t9700-perl-git.sh now passes on ActiveState Perl. Some tweaks were necessary in
Git.pm: a more correct check for absolute directory, exit code check on closing
the "pipe", and always closing the cat_blob bidirectional pipe (with errors
 ignored) so as not to leave zombie processes. The waitpid call on closing the
bidirectional pipe is now timed and the process is killed if necessary. Also
added some binmode calls to t/t9700/test.pl to make the blob tests pass.
