[comp.lang.perl] p4010: cflags problem

koerber.sin@sni.de (Mathias Koerber) (06/19/91)

When I generated my perl 4 patchlevel 10 today, I found the following problem.

cflags tests $CONFIG to find where the config script is. Too bad, my system
has a $CONFIG for some other software, set by default for every user.

Please Larry, If U use environmantal variables, either have their names
start with a unique string, or make sure they really point to where you
think they should point. And kind of document the ones Configure uses.

I had to 

$ unset CONFIG export CONFIG
$ make

to get my perl to compile properly.
