Question

I am trying to install WWW::Curl::Easy on my Fedora 26 machine

Full output

I have curl, curl-config and curl-devel installed. I have tried all suggestions I found on similar problems, but I can't get this to work. Any ideas appreciated.

Looks like a single error related to `CURL_STRICTER`. Might be easy to address. I can't look at it now, though. — ikegami, Feb 14 '18 at 16:52

Okay, this is how I got it to work: The error was related to CURL_STRICTER, it was missing in a line of MAKEFILE.pl. I found this bug and this patch, so I downloaded the WWW-Curl-4.17.tar.gz and extracted it, and changed the following line according to the patch:

if($e =~ /(OBSOLETE|^CURL_EXTERN|_LAST\z|_LASTENTRY\z)/) {

to look like

if($e =~ /(OBSOLETE|^CURL_EXTERN|^CURL_STRICTER\z|_LAST\z|_LASTENTRY\z)/) {

After that I installed it according to the included README and it worked.

Thanks, I needed that fix. It was also necessary on Ubuntu 20.04 to add this line to the @includes '/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu' — Jared Still, Aug 22 '22 at 20:16
