I used to build groff with a toolchain from Macports.
Therefore I had perl at:
#!/opt/local/bin/perl -w
After cleaning my system I now use the system version of Perl at:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
This has resulted in the correct version in the Makefile:
PERL = /usr/bin/perl
PERL_VERSION = 5.30.2
Since pdfmom does not depend on Makefile, this change isn’t picked up.
pdfmom: $(gropdf_dir)/pdfmom.pl $(SH_DEPS_SED_SCRIPT)
$(AM_V_GEN)$(RM) $@ \
&& sed -f $(SH_DEPS_SED_SCRIPT) \
-e "s|[@]VERSION[@]|$(VERSION)|" \
-e "s|[@]RT_SEP[@]|$(RT_SEP)|" \
-e "s|[@]PERL[@]|$(PERL)|" $(gropdf_dir)/pdfmom.pl \
>$@ \
&& chmod +x $@
This affects other programs as well, but with pdfmom it leads to a build error.
Of course this isn’t really a bug, I should have typed
make clean
first.
After that groff builds fin on MacOS 11.
