Configure works fine in my fedora latest linux. But make complained

make: *** No rule to make target '<command-line>', needed by 'miniperl
+main.o'.  Stop.

I guess you need to follow sh ./makedepend MAKE=make and find out where that unterminated string is.

Additionally, I remember some years ago a post here mentioning that make failed because of unquoted strings (some module not perl). I remember I found out that compiler defines -DXXX needed to be doubly quoted with escaped quotes. I tried to search but nothing comes up neither here nor with other search services.

my .clist in root folder contains:

av.c
scope.c
op.c
doop.c
doio.c
dump.c
hv.c
mg.c
perl.c
perly.c
pp.c
pp_hot.c
pp_ctl.c
pp_sys.c
regcomp.c
regexec.c
utf8.c
gv.c
sv.c
taint.c
toke.c
util.c
deb.c
run.c
universal.c
xsutils.c
globals.c
perlio.c
perlapi.c

BTW, I looked more carefully the build log and found this:

ERROR: The installation "5.6.2" is unknown.

$ perl --version

This is perl 5, version 22, subversion 1 (v5.22.1) built for x86_64-li

bw, bliako

ps. Oh I get it, you tried to install 5.6.2 just because of the above. Sorry for the noise
