------- Comment #3 from lenehan at twibble.org  2007-02-27 19:56 -------
Yes, it needs expat native to build, so a:

 DEPENDS += "expat-native"

is needed but it still won't work. It will attempt to compile the required
module using settings for the host perl, not those for the target perl.

This problem is usually this is due to cpan.bbclass failing to deal with
sub-makefiles which can usually be worked around by manually building those
sub-makfiles, which for this module would be done like this:

do_compile () {
        cd Expat && cpan_do_compile
        cpan_do_compile
}

However for this particular module this also doesn't work - it is still
managing to find settings for the host perl. Since I don't use this module I
didn't spend any more time looking at it last time I was playing around with
these perl modules. If you have some use for it I can look at it a bit more and
see if it can be fixed.
