This is hard to do because they are specified by the libperl config flags.

traumschule commented 5 years ago

Default flags should work, no?

Which default flags?

You clearly know more here and i can't tell you how to fix the error. Please tell us!

Hi,

You clearly know more here and i can't tell you how to fix the error. Please tell us!

It cannot be easily fixed AFAIK. Can I resolve this as WONTFIX? Also, why are you not using the debian package?

traumschule commented 5 years ago

Can I resolve this as WONTFIX?

Sure you can but it does not help others in the future. Better you tell us how fix it :)

just install the relevant *-dev / *-devel / etc. packages - see https://github.com/thewml/website-meta-language/blob/master/.travis.yml .

It also needs libgdbm-dev libgdbm-compat-dev, will add another commit.
