several ports cannot be installed due to a Perl circular dependency hell...

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

I faced the same problem while installing the huge list of
dependencies for the digiKam project under Intel and arm64 targets.

The main problem arrives when Perl is used to compile Qt in my case
but not only. Look these rules in my install script :

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/blob/master/project/bundles/macports/01-build-macports.sh?ref_type=heads#L287

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/blob/master/project/bundles/macports/01-build-macports.sh?ref_type=heads#L296

... and all these patches for Perl :

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/tree/master/project/bundles/macports/patches/perl?ref_type=heads

... and now everything works fine...

Best

Gilles Caulier
