Compile/install from source: Configure does not create a Makefile

[liwenhui-soul]

Hello, I am compiling Perl-5.32 from source on Linux. When I run ./Configure -des , it completes without any errors, but no Makefile is generated. What could be the reason for this

[root@09e726335772 perl5-5.32.1]# ./Configure -des -Dprefix=/d/cdm-tools-x86_64-linux/thirdparty
First let's make sure your kit is complete.  Checking...

Checking compatibility between /bin/echo and builtin echo (if any)...
Symbolic links are supported.
Checking how to test for symbolic links...
You can test for symbolic links with 'test -h'.
Checking for cross-compile
No targethost for running compiler tests against defined, running locally
Good, your tr supports [:lower:] and [:upper:] to convert case.

If you compile perl5 on a different machine or from a different object
directory, copy the Policy.sh file from this object directory to the
new one before you run Configure -- this will help you with most of
the policy defaults.

Notice the 34 instances of *** WHOA THERE!!! *** in your output. This indicates that your git checkout of the Perl source code is "dirty". I recommend that you say git clean -dfx before running sh ./Configure -des. (I acknowledge in advance that this may not be the source of your problem, but it's what immediately stood out to me.)

On more careful examination, I believe you are attempting to build perl from a tarball and that you have chosen to make your configuration selections from a previously existing config.sh file.

I see a config.sh file.  Shall I use it to set the defaults? [y]
Fetching default answers from your old config.sh file...

I think that would explain all the WHOA THERE instances, but I do not know the code in ./Configure well enough to say why a Makefile (or makefile) is not created.

Thanks. Two questions (which admittedly are only guesses):

In the config.sh file created by this process, what value gets assigned to firstmakefile?

I notice that you are running this program as root. Do you get any different results when you configure as an ordinary user?

[jkeenan]

An additional question:

Extracting cflags (with variable substitutions)
Not re-extracting config.h
Extracting makedepend (with variable substitutions)
Extracting Makefile (with variable substitutions)
Extracting myconfig (with variable substitutions)
Extracting pod/Makefile (with variable substitutions)
Extracting Policy.sh (with variable substitutions)
Extracting runtests (with variable substitutions)
Configure done.

At the end of the process, are you missing any of the files identified by the Extracting ... statements besides Makefile?

[Leont]

That /d/ is looking very suspicious to me. I see you're using WSL. Can you try it again but with -Dfirstmakefile=GNUmakefile? Basically are you running on a case-insensitive file system? Can you confirm that uname -r return 5.15.153.1-microsoft-standard-wsl2

[liwenhui-soul]

Yes, my kernel is 5.15.153.1-microsoft-standard-WSL2, and I am running CentOS 6 on Docker on Windows. After adding -Dfirstmakefile=GNUmakefile, the Makefile was generated. Thank you. By the way, could you please explain what caused this issue internally?

Configure makes use of a Makefile and a makefile. Typically on unix these are different files (with the latter taking precedence), but if on a case-insensitive filesystem they're not and then things go belly up. GNUmakefile is a gmake specific name for a makefile that takes even higher precedence, so using that instead will make things work on such operating systems (but is less portable because it doesn't work with non-gnu make implementations).

We should probably add an entry to the Linux hints file that if osvers matches *-wsl2 we automatically set firstmakefile=GNUmakefile

+1 to that suggestion. I have no idea how prevalent wsl2 is in the wild, but making this assignment in the hints file seems like a not too dangerous way to procede.

I added a check for case-insensitive file systems to hints/linux.sh in c1d6176.
