Re: [Enigma-devel] Enigma 1.10 - Mac OSX compilation

[Sidney Markowitz]

I finally worked through the problems with getting a MacOS X build.

I had a huge red herring when I could not get through the ./autogen.sh
step of the build because of errors in the perl module IO.pm

IO object version 1.22 does not match bootstrap parameter 1.23

I'm documenting it here because a search for the error message turned up
many queries without helpful results.

Once I got that fixed I was able to find the problem with the build I
uploaded. I'll upload a patch and a new build soon.

 -------------

IO object version 1.22 does not match bootstrap parameter 1.23

This error was caused by Apple's security update 2009-001 when all three
of the following are true:

    * you are using Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
    * and are using Perl that comes with Mac OS X
    * and have upgraded several core modules with CPAN in the past

The security update included an old version 1.22 of part of the IO
module. You can't use CPAN to reinstall the newer version because CPAN
will not run with this bug.

The fix is to download IO-1.2301.tar.gz from CPAN at
http://search.cpan.org/dist/IO/ and install it by untarring it and then
in its directory do

  perl Makefile.PL
  make
  sudo make install

And do the same thing with Scalar::Util
http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/Scalar-List-Utils-1.19/
and Storable
