9 years ago i think somebody will have to tell us how to fix this runtime issue (e.g. provide patches). We can mark it "broken" so it doesn't build at all, but a problem like this requires significant troubleshooting -- something a user is more motivated to provide.

I tried to build the package (having already installed it) and got this:
===> Installing for p5-Locale-gettext-1.05_4 ===> Checking if p5-Locale-gettext already installed ===> Registering installation for p5-Locale-gettext-1.05_4 as automatic pkg-static: Unable to access file /usr/obj/dports/devel/p5-Locale- gettext/work/stage/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.16/auto/Locale/gettext/gettext.so: No such file or directory pkg-static: Unable to access file /usr/obj/dports/devel/p5-Locale- gettext/work/stage/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.16/Locale/gettext.pm: No such file or directory pkg-static: Unable to access file /usr/obj/dports/devel/p5-Locale- gettext/work/stage/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/man/man3/Locale::gettext.3.gz: No such file or directory *\ Error code 74

So I installed the p5-Locale-gettext binary package, tried again, and got another error trying to build help2man. So I installed that, and tried again, and it appears to be building fish.

9 years ago you're clearly mixing ports and packages that shouldn't be mixed. Or more correctly, you are failing to rebuild dependencies when required. You should be using ports-mgmt/poudriere to build fish to ensure all dependencies are correct.

I'm trying to build the fish package in such a way that I can debug it. Apparently help2man is needed to build the package, but not to install or run it.
I updated the binary packages recently and it reinstalled all sorts of things

9 years ago you didn't reinstall enough. the default perl is 5.18 and this is looking for perl 5.16, so your perl packages are apparently mixed.

5.16.3 is what's installed. I don't see 5.18.
Apparently perl is needed just to make the man page, and the problem is in the executable. How do I build an executable that has debugging symbols using pkg?

9 years ago I really don't want to try to troubleshoot live system building. It's discouraged, there are way too many variables and misinformation. This clearly builds in a proper environment since a binary package exists.
I recommend "poudriere testport -i" which will build the port and drop into the build via chroot which should serve to test a port.

I made a jail and tried to run the testport command. Here's what I got:

9 years ago what do you mean by "made a jail"? Do you mean you literally are using dragonfly jails with poudriere? If so, that's incorrect usage. poudriere doesn't work in a jail (and there's no reason to run it inside a jail).

I used the poudriere jail command.

9 years ago okay, that sounds right. Maybe you already have some things mounted. Does "mount" show any leftover mounts? Maybe you can just reboot the server and try again to be sure nothing is blocking the mounts.

9 years ago "poudriere testport -j aoeu -i -vn -o shells/fish" should work (notice the -n switch). If it doesn't, try rebooting and try again. If it still doesn't work, I'm stumped as to why it fails.
Unless you didn't create a ports tree?????
Did you run "poudriere ports -c" command already?

commented
9 years ago what is the current status here? Did you create a ports tree before trying to build the package?

9 years ago I got some likely paying work and haven't had time to work on the fish. I'm also leaving (hopefully today) for a trip and won't be able to work on it until I get back, or next week.
Now the objective of this exercise is to get a fish binary that is not stripped and that I can debug. Is there a flag I can set to make it not strip the

9 years ago With poudriere, you can define a makefile that gets applied to specific jail/tree combinations. So for example, you would add "WITH_DEBUG=yes" and poudriere would add that to the make.conf that it uses (and thus fish would not be stripped).
It takes one command to add a ports tree. I was only asking if you issued that command. If you didn't, that's why poudriere failed to mount.

9 years ago Closing under the assumption the issue is fixed.
I ran "pkg ins fish" and installed fish. Then I ran fish. (You have to type /usr/local/bin/fish . If you type "fish", you get /usr/games/fish, which is the Go Fish game.) It says "fish:" and accepts input, but does nothing. It does not appear to exit when I type ^D or ^C, but whatever I type after ^D is eaten not by fish but by my usual shell once I kill the fish. fish on Ubuntu Linux gives a prompt "phma@caracal /v/w/W/src>" and runs commands like any other shell.
