Use a buildcustomize.pl to set @INC in miniperl when building extensions.
With the build tools now shipped in various subdirectories of cpan/ and dist/
we need to add several paths to @INC when invoking MakeMaker (etc) to build
extensions.
The previous approach of using $ENV{PERL5LIB} was fragile, because:
a: It was hitting the length limit for %ENV variables on VMS
b: It was running the risk of race conditions in a parallel build -
ExtUtils::Makemaker "knows" to add -I../..lib, which puts lib at the *front*
of @INC, but if one parallel process happens to copy a module into lib/
whilst another is searching for it, the second may get a partial read
c: Overwriting $ENV{PERL5LIB} breaks any system where any of the installed
build tools are actually implemented in Perl, if they are relying on
$ENV{PERL5LIB} for setup
This approach
a: Doesn't have %ENV length limits
b: Ensures that lib/ is last, so copy targets are always shadowing copy
sources
c: Only affects miniperl, and doesn't touch $ENV{PERL5LIB}
Approaches that turned out to have fatal flaws:
1: Using $ENV{PERL5OPT} with a module fails because ExtUtils::MakeMaker
searches for the build perl without setting lib, and treats the error
caused by a failed -M as "not a valid perl 5 binary"
2: Refactoring ExtUtils::MakeMaker to *not* use -I for lib, and instead rely
on $ENV{PERL5LIB} [which includes "../../lib"] fails because:
some extensions have subdirectories, and on these EU::MM correctly uses
-I../../../lib, where as $ENV{PERL5LIB} only has space for relative paths,
and only with two levels.
This approach actually takes advantage of ExtUtils::MakeMaker setting an -I
option correct for the depth of directory being built.
