>Release: pkgsrc 2004Q4
>Organization:
Technologic Systems
>Environment:
Interix 3.5
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
Several packages fail to build with a message
"Package X requires dlopen()". Interix does have dlopen(), just not
in a header file /usr/include/dlopen.h.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try building perl on Interix
>Fix:
Add a line "USE_BUILTIN.dl=yes" to the example mk.conf during pkgsrc
bootstrap or extend detection of builtin dlopen() to a method more
resilent than simply checking for the presence of a /usr/include/dlfcn.h
