[GHC] #13141: Don't check for Perl in ./configure when not splitting objects
#13141: Don't check for Perl in ./configure when not splitting objects -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: dobenour | Owner: dobenour Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- GHC needs Perl for exactly two reasons: - To run `boot` and the Autotools - For the splitter As such, there is no reason to check for Perl in `./configure` unless split-objs is supported. Even then, Perl is optional. The current check most likely comes from the days of the Evil Mangler. I'll take this. -- Ticket URL: <http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13141> GHC <http://www.haskell.org/ghc/> The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Summary: If Perl isn't needed, we don't need to error out. Since all Perl is used for is the splitter, we can just warn.
