Ports make requires Perl 5.24.2 [SOLVED ???]
Posted: Tue Jul 25, 2017 2:35 pm
Hello
I'm a new to BSD coming from Ubuntu and just installed GhostBSD. Now I tried to install some software to 10.3 using ports. Some worked smooth, but with others I got nasty errors regarding missing Perl 5.24.2. I checked that 5.24.1 is installed an d I can't find a package newer than that. How to persuade ports system to use 5.24.1 ?
Thanks a lot in advance and greetings from Bonn (Germany)

[SOLVED ???]
well, found a workaround, I generate a link in /usr/local/bin from perl to perl5.24.2
root@pinot:/usr/local/bin # ln perl perl5.24.2
root@pinot:/usr/local/bin #
root@pinot:/usr/local/bin # ls -lisa perl*

301368 25 -rwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 45405 13 Jul 03:14 perlthanks
root@pinot:/usr/local/bin #
but is this a solution? I don't think so and hope someone have a better idea
