Why perl-5.30.3 doesn't compile on my Mac?

karlgoethebier has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Karls-Mac-mini:~ karl$ perlbrew install --as perl-5.30.3-threads -Duse
+threads perl-5.30.3
Installing /Users/karl/perl5/perlbrew/build/perl-5.30.3/perl-5.30.3 in
+to ~/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.30.3-threads

This could take a while. You can run the following command on another 
+shell to track the status:

  tail -f ~/perl5/perlbrew/build.perl-5.30.3.log

Installation process failed. To spot any issues, check

  /Users/peter/perl5/perlbrew/build.perl-5.30.3.log

If some perl tests failed and you still want to install this distribut
+ion anyway,
do:

  (cd /Users/karl/perl5/perlbrew/build/perl-5.30.3/perl-5.30.3; make i
+nstall)

You might also want to try upgrading patchperl before trying again:

  perlbrew install-patchperl

Generally, if you need to install a perl distribution known to have mi
+nor test
failures, do one of these commands to avoid seeing this message:

  perlbrew --notest install perl-5.30.3
  perlbrew --force install perl-5.30.3

I have no plan and didn't do nothing yet ;-( Any hint? Best regards, Karl

Did you check `/Users/peter/perl5/perlbrew/build.perl-5.30.3.log` like it suggested? All the output from `Configure` and `make` will be in there. toby döt ink	[reply] [d/l] [select]

* Unexpected product version 11.0. The error message comes from hints/Darwin.sh, which apparently hasn't considered the coming of version 11.0. Presumably something needs to be done to that file and/or Configure itself to overcome the problem. Maybe ask about that on p5p if you don't receive better follow-up advice here. (I'm assuming that the additional advice to "`* Try running sw_vers and see what its ProductVersion says`" didn't help much.) Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]

Try using the `perlbrew install-patchperl` command. It will install Devel::PatchPerl, which is a tool to patch the source of older perl releases to allow them to compile on newer systems. The latest release of Devel::PatchPerl (2.04) should be able to fix this issue.	[reply] [d/l]

If you are on the "latest and greatest" (?) OSX, there have been fixes to EU:MM in version 7.54 to restore building on OSX. This won't fix building Perl using old tarballs, but most likely `patchperl` and `perlbrew` will incorporate that soonish.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

First port of call for any failed build, check existing/recently closed bugs, while examining the log generated for the cause of failure.	[reply]

What version of their "OS"? Apple has been doing everything possible to make their over priced garbage worthless for even hard core developer fan bois, most recently the VPN by-pass with Big Sir and disabling of non-Apple soft/spy/shitware. I say this as a daily user of Mac for over a decade now.	[reply]
