Description tropikhajma 2010-07-23 19:44:46 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Solaris

kdebindings from svn fails with 
...
"QtCore4.xs", line 417: Error: PL_use_safe_putenv is not defined.

This is because the default perl on OpenSolaris is still 5.8.4.
As soon as I replaced it with perl 5.10, the build continued fine.

You might consider checking perl version and only enable perl bindings with perl>5.x (I don't know when this was introduced to perl)

this is on OpenSolaris b134

Reproducible: Always

Looks like it was first introduced in 5.8.6.

Thank you for the bug report.

As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists.

If this bug is no longer persisting or relevant please change the status to resolved.

I no longer build KDE on *Solaris
However, Solaris 11 updated the default Perl in the meantime, so if someone tries that, I believe they wouldn't experience this issue.
