perl: treat PERLLIB_EXTRA as an extra path again
PERLLIB_EXTRA was introduced in v1.9-rc0~88^2 (2013-11-15) as a way for packagers to add additional directories such as the location of Subversion's perl bindings to Git's perl path. Since 20d2a30f (Makefile: replace perl/Makefile.PL with simple make rules, 2012-12-10) setting that variable breaks perl-based commands instead: $ PATH=$HOME/opt/git/bin:$PATH $ make install prefix=$HOME/opt/git PERLLIB_EXTRA=anextralibdir [...] $ head -2 $HOME/opt/git/libexec/git-core/git-add--interactive #!/usr/bin/perl use lib (split(/:/, $ENV{GITPERLLIB} || ":helloiamanextrainstlibdir" || "/usr/local/google/home/jrn/opt/git/share/perl5")); $ git add -p Empty compile time value given to use lib at /home/jrn/opt/git/libexec/git-core/git-add--interactive line 2. Removing the spurious ":" at the beginning of ":$PERLLIB_EXTRA" avoids the "Empty compile time value" error but with that tweak the problem still remains: PERLLIB_EXTRA ends up replacing instead of supplementing the perllibdir that would be passed to 'use lib' if PERLLIB_EXTRA were not set. The intent was to simplify, as the commit message to 20d2a30f explains: | The scripts themselves will 'use lib' the target directory, but if | INSTLIBDIR is set it overrides it. It doesn't have to be this way, | it could be set in addition to INSTLIBDIR, but my reading of | [v1.9-rc0~88^2] is that this is the desired behavior. Restore the previous code structure to make PERLLIB_EXTRA work again. Reproducing this problem requires an invocation of "make install" instead of running bin-wrappers/git in place, since the latter sets the GITPERLLIB environment variable, avoiding trouble.
