Failed Pod extraction halts the build process

[Hinrik]

Doing a "perl Configure.pl && make" on a fresh checkout of Parrot (r40146) fails as shown here:  http://paste.lisp.org/display/83841

It looks like "/usr/bin/perldoc" is appearing twice in the executed command. That is, the Makefile is executing:

/usr/bin/perldoc /usr/bin/perldoc -ud packfile-c.pod ../src/packfile.c

when it should be doing:

/usr/bin/perldoc -ud packfile-c.pod ../src/packfile.c

I think we should try to exclude the possibility that this is an unwanted side effect of the fact that you were building Parrot here in an attempt to build Rakudo:

$ perl ./Configure.pl --gen-parrot
Generating Parrot ...
/usr/bin/perl build/gen_parrot.pl

Could you do a fresh output of Parrot from SVN HEAD and then configure and build Parrot without the --gen-parrot option, and then see if you get the same results?

Thank you very much.

*sigh*

The issue seems to have mysteriously disappeared (works with Rakudo and without). I've no idea why. Sorry for wasting your time. :)

You can go ahead and close this ticket. If this happens again and I figure out why, I'll reply to this ticket again.

OP reports problem has cleared up; closing ticket.
