Hello Mark, As far as I know there is no '"system standard" place for `krb5-config'. So the "which krb5-config"-way was choosed because this works on the most platforms, Kerberos-implementions (MIT, Heimdal, Sun) and conditions. The idea was to keep the Makefile.PL's complexity small. But you're correct, on the circumstances you describe the Makefile.PL behaves 'broken'. Your suggestion how Makefile.PL should additonally search the '"system standard" place for `krb5-config`' is... to test a given list of binaries. If I got the idea right that means maintaining a list of paths to search for the krb5-config binary within Makefile.PL? What's the output of perl -e "print $^O; " on your platform? (Sorry I can't provide a patch within the next days... you will get my answer at the end of this week) Best Regards, Achim |
