configure does not generate makefile while building perl from source - perl

Question

I am building perl from source on Ubuntu 14.04 (kernel 3.13.0-24-generic):
wget http://www.cpan.org/src/5.0/perl-5.22.2.tar.gz
tar -xzf perl-5.22.2.tar.gz
cd perl-5.22.2
./Configure -des -Dprefix=$HOME/perl5.22
Configure did not generate a makefile. The output log is:
First let's make sure your kit is complete. Checking...

Stripping down executable paths...
Creating config.sh...
Doing variable substitutions on .SH files...
Extracting config.h (with variable substitutions)
cflags.SH: Adding -std=c89.
cflags.SH: Adding -Werror=declaration-after-statement.
cflags.SH: Adding -Wextra.
cflags.SH: Adding -Wc++-compat.
cflags.SH: Adding -Wwrite-strings.
cflags.SH: cc = cc
cflags.SH: ccflags = -fwrapv -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fstack-protector -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64

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.
...
Comparing with a successful Configure on another machine, it did not execute makedepend:
Extracting runtests (with variable substitutions)
Run make depend now? [y]
sh ./makedepend MAKE="make" cflags
Executing the above makedepend line gave a message make: *** No rule to make target 'clist'. Stop.. Any hints to debug this? Much appreciated!

Answer 1

What is surprising in the output you posted is that you went directly from this:
Extracting runtests (with variable substitutions)
... to this:
Configure done.
... without, at the very least, getting this prompt (and response):
Run make depend now? [y]
In ./Configure, we have this 'if' block:
if $contains '^depend:' [Mm]akefile >/dev/null 2>&1; then
dflt=y
case "$silent" in
true) ;;
*)
$cat <<EOM
Now you need to generate make dependencies by running "$make depend".
You might prefer to run it in background: "$make depend > makedepend.out &"
It can take a while, so you might not want to run it right now.
EOM
;;
esac
rp="Run $make depend now?"
. UU/myread
case "$ans" in
y*)
$make depend && echo "Now you must run '$make'."
;;
*)
echo "You must run '$make depend' then '$make'."
;;
esac
elif test -f [Mm]akefile; then
echo " "
echo "Now you must run a $make."
else
echo "Configure done."
fi
Is it possible that you do not have a 'Makefile' (or 'makefile') in the directory in which you are configuring? (Note, I have no idea why that would be the case, but that's what the sequence of STDOUT statements seems to be suggesting.)
I examined your Configure output as well as mine from perl-5.22.2. The most significant differences I noted were:
(a) You do not appear to have BerkeleyDB installed; and
(b) you have directory '/home/zxu/lib' at the start of the list of directories which is Configure's output from this probe:
Directories to use for library searches?
I'm not really sure why (b) would be so. You might want to post the output of this command:
grep -E 'libpth\b' config.sh
That may have nothing to do with your original problem, but it is anomalous.
