Summary: scripts/Configure-Makefile does not fail if
ExtUtils::Embed is not installed
Product: Exim
Version: 4.70
Platform: x86
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: Packaging
AssignedTo: nigel [at] exim
ReportedBy: toddr [at] cpanel
CC: exim-dev [at] exim
scripts/Configure-Makefile does not fail if ExtUtils::Embed is not installed. I
have seen this issue on fresh installs of fedora 9+. I'm not sure if it's been
removed from perl core in 5.10 but if so then that's why. Correcting perl
requires yum -y install perl-ExtUtils-Embed.
I suggest scripts/Configure-Makefile have the attached patch to more clearly
show the reason for failure.
Right now, the make continues for quite a while before it fails at which point
you have to scroll up and hope to notice the message indicating the reason for
failure.
