Build failure on 5.18.4 Mac OS X

[hakonhagland]

We still got new test reports coming in, this report shows a build (not test) failure on Mac OS X:

cc -I/System/Library/Perl/5.18/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE -c -g -pipe -fno-common -DPERL_DARWIN -fno-strict-aliasing -fstack-protector -I/usr/local/Cellar/gsl/2.6/include -g -pipe -fno-common -DPERL_DARWIN -fno-strict-aliasing -fstack-protector -Wall -Wno-sometimes-uninitialized -Wno-unused-function -Wno-unused-value -Wno-unused-function -Wno-unused-variable -Wno-gnu -g -I/usr/local/Cellar/gsl/2.6/include -o xs/Diff_wrap.2.6.o xs/Diff_wrap.2.6.c
xs/Diff_wrap.2.6.c:739:10: fatal error: 'EXTERN.h' file not found
#include "EXTERN.h"
         ^~~~~~~~~~

error building .o file from 'xs/Diff_wrap.2.6.c' at inc/GSLBuilder.pm line 337.

Any ideas what is going on?

@hakonhagland these will happen until the end of time. I suggest you make a CPAN release.

Mac + XS errors, ugh . Apple changes the locations of header files because they hate themselves, they hate their employees, and they hate every open source software dev

@leto Ok 😄 I added three new PRs #208, #209, and #210 after those are merged I can create a new tarball and upload?

[leto]

@hakonhagland yep, all are merged. Have fun 👼

@leto It is now 20 hours since I uploaded version 0.42 but no email from cpantesters yet (just an email from PAUSE about the missing permissions for some of the modules, the same as in 0.41). I guess we have to wait to over the weekend..

[leto]

@hakonhagland the missing permissions might be messing stuff up. We might want to contact a CPAN/PAUSE admin, and ask them to fix stuff

[hakonhagland]

@leto Done. I sent an email to modules@perl.org

@hakonhagland hopefully they will see it's a bug in their system, but I am happy to vouch for you or whatever they need
