Missing find.pl compiling OE
I received the following error when compiling OpenEmbedded due to a file that is no longer included in Perl distributions:
| Can’t locate find.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.18.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.18 /usr/share/perl/5.18 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at perlpath.pl line 7.
There are ways to integrate a copy of the file into the build process, but my inexperience with bitbake et al. meant that when they didn’t work I couldn’t troubleshoot very well myself. Instead, I simply placed the file in /etc/perl. The contents of the file, which should be called find.pl, can be found below.
warn "Legacy library @{[(caller(0))[6]]} will be removed from the Perl core distribution in the next major release. Please install it from the CPAN distribution Perl4::CoreLibs. It is being used at @{[(caller)[1]]}, line @{[(caller)[2]]}.\n";
# This library is deprecated and unmaintained. It is included for
# compatibility with Perl 4 scripts which may use it, but it will be
# removed in a future version of Perl. Please use the File::Find module
# instead.
# Usage:
# require "find.pl";
#
# &find('/foo','/bar');
#
# sub wanted { ... }
# where wanted does whatever you want. $dir contains the
# current directory name, and $_ the current filename within
# that directory. $name contains "$dir/$_". You are cd'ed
# to $dir when the function is called. The function may
# set $prune to prune the tree.
#
# For example,
#
# find / -name .nfs\* -mtime +7 -exec rm -f {} \; -o -fstype nfs -prune
#
# corresponds to this
#
# sub wanted {
# /^\.nfs.*$/ &&
# (($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid) = lstat($_)) &&
# int(-M _) > 7 &&
# unlink($_)
# ||
# ($nlink || (($dev,$ino,$mode,$nlink,$uid,$gid) = lstat($_))) &&
# $dev < 0 &&
# ($prune = 1);
# }
#
# Set the variable $dont_use_nlink if you're using AFS, since AFS cheats.
