[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi

I'm trying hard to package perl-term-readline-gnu but have failed so
far. :D

See the attached patch for my addition to perl-build-system that did not
help.

The Makefile in the source says:

# Usage: perl Makefile.PL [--prefix=...] [--includedir=...]
[--libdir=...]                                       
#               [OPTIMIZE=...] 

The build failure (with or without my modifications to the build-system)
is:

starting phase `configure'
running `perl' with arguments ("Makefile.PL"
"PREFIX=/gnu/store/w4wb4wd1kjj6gmxlix0i3jj47v0izijh-perl-term-readline-gnu-1.35"
"INSTALLDIRS=site" "NO_PERLLOCAL=1")
Could not find neither libtermcap.a, libncurses.a, or libcurses.

I'm closing this old bug because the error was actually because ncurses
was not an input; see the working package definition (added last year):

  guix edit perl-term-readline-gnu
