plperl error when making 8.2dev CVS

Hi,

i was trying to compile CVS using --with-plperl (perl installed is
5.6.1) and i get this error when make go inside plperl:

make[3]: *** No rule to make target `SPI.xs', needed by `SPI.c'. Stop.

Did you delete that file? It's part of the sources.

fixing a bad typo in the message i try --with-perl (no --with-plperl
like said above)... Just in case, someone tell me that's the error...
the above was an error of typo in the message...

Weird. So if you cd src/pl/plperl and ls, the file is there, yet it
tries to "make" it? That's weird. Did you try a make distclean after
changing your configure arguments? I've never seen this problem.

ok, i execute 'make distclean' and then get the same error when making
after configuring with --with-perl

Is this a clean source tree? Try cvs update -C (beware it'll destroy
all your local changes)

I'm wondering about a clock skew problem (if machine's clock is in the
past then SPI.xs might appear newer than derived files). If not that,
it sounds like it would have to be a bug in gmake.

mmm... sorry for the noise...

i download the CVS from my windows box (because i can't get my
internal modem to work with linux :) for some reason i don't know
sometimes when moving from windows to a linux dir shared with smb (in
the same machine)... it converts file names from uppercase to
lowercase so the file in linux was named spi.xs not SPI.xs... i
realize that this was the problem just when replacing the entire
source tree with same i downloaded in windows... this time the names
got right and everything is fine...
