configure: error: invalid package name: perl PERL about pgenv

[theory]

I get the same thing:

> pgenv build 11beta4
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100 20.1M  100 20.1M    0     0  5352k      0  0:00:03  0:00:03 --:--:-- 5352k
configure: error: invalid package name: perl  PERL

Probably something related to the recent changes in #14, eh @fluca1978?

[fluca1978]

It was not a problem of the #14 pull request, rather a problem of variable quoting when passing multiple values to configure.

Thank you @fluca1978, mo betta now.

thanks so much

Crap, no, that didn't work. Now I end up without perl compiled in, and the root directory is named pgsql-11beta4 --with-perl PERL=/usr/bin/perl, which is no good.

I spent some time trying to figure out how to make the _OPTS variables into arrays, instead (as suggested here), but was unable to find an effective way to serialize them in pgenv_configuration_write_variable() (typeset works only with global variables, while typeset -p outputs additional crap we don't want in the config file, I presume). More information here.

At this point, I think we have to figure out some other way too get the quoting right. :-(

[fluca1978]

I get this working removing all quoting, I suspect it is something clashing with single quotes in the configuration file and the usage of double quoting in variable interpolation. I've build 11beta4 fine adding also some other flags in the configuration just to test configure was behaving well.
If works as expected, please close the issue.

73d286b isn't merged into master, @fluca1978.

Meanwhile, I see other issues:

$ pgenv restart
/Users/david/pg/bin/pgenv: line 280: s/^pgsql-//: No such file or directory
pg_ctl: too many command-line arguments (first is "")
Try "pg_ctl --help" for more information.
$ pgenv stop      
/Users/david/pg/bin/pgenv: line 280: s/^pgsql-//: No such file or directory
pg_ctl: too many command-line arguments (first is "")
Try "pg_ctl --help" for more information.
$ pgenv version
/Users/david/pg/bin/pgenv: line 280: s/^pgsql-//: No such file or directory

[fluca1978]

Sorry, I've temperature and should not be wroking on this...
I've fixed the pg_ctl issue, at least is working fine on my system. Could you confirm?

[theory]

Oh, I guess I might've broken that one, sorry.

[theory]

Yes, looks like 73d286b fixed it, thanks!
