             Summary: Compilation fails on CentOS 7 (file version 5.11)

            Severity: Minor


Compiling version **2.11.0** from sources seems to fail at least on CentOS 7.

The error:

{noformat}
$ make
[...]
# make install
[...]
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat ‘./dahdi_registration.8’: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat ‘./xpp_sync.8’: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat ‘./lsdahdi.8’: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat ‘./xpp_blink.8’: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat ‘./dahdi_genconf.8’: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat ‘./dahdi_hardware.8’: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/install: cannot stat ‘./twinstar.8’: No such file or directory
{noformat}

The issue is due to the description for Perl scripts reported by the `file` command version 5.11:

{noformat}
[root at centos-6.7 xpp]# file xpp_blink
xpp_blink: a /usr/bin/perl -w script text executable
[root at centos-6.7 xpp]# file --version
file-5.04
{noformat}

{noformat}
[root at centos-7.2 xpp]# file xpp_blink
xpp_blink: Perl script, ASCII text executable
[root at centos-7.2 xpp]# file -version
file-5.11
{noformat}

Because of this man pages for perl scripts are not generated and `make install` fails.

A possible patch:

{code:patch}
diff --git a/xpp/Makefile.am b/xpp/Makefile.am
