The following reply was made to PR ports/182790; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Dewayne" <dewayne.geraghty@heuristicsystems.com.au> To: <bug-followup@FreeBSD.org> Cc: Subject: Re: ports/182790: Perl 5.16.3 & 5.18.1_1 package build failure Date: Tue, 8 Oct 2013 17:52:00 +1100 The following make command, compresses the man pages and the package is built: make __MAKE_CONF=/dev/null WRKDIRPREFIX=/var/ports DISTDIR=/distfiles TMPDIR=/tmp PACKAGES=/packages -DBATCH DEFAULT_VERSIONS=perl5=5.16 clean deinstall package The following installs, but does not produce a package due to absent pkg-plist man pages: make __MAKE_CONF=/dev/null WRKDIRPREFIX=/var/ports DISTDIR=/distfiles TMPDIR=/tmp PACKAGES=/packages -DNO_STAGE -DBATCH DEFAULT_VERSIONS=perl5=5.16 clean deinstall package Clearly when NO_STAGE is set, it inhibits the "Compressing man pages" phase for devel/autoconf, lang/perl5.16 and lang/perl5.18; and prevents the success of a package build. It is an intended effect that if NO_STAGE is set that the port is installed in the usual place /usr/local. Though I've only focused on these three packages). As a suggested workaround for those building packages, I'd suggest adding to make.conf, something like: STAGEDIR= /staging Because some ports do look for other components before they will correctly build. (and no, STAGEDIR=/dev/null does not work, and is a little silly) The ports system will create $STAGEDIR (using mkdir) and populate the BSD tree, under /usr. Aside: I wonder what happens if PREFIX=/not-under-usr ;) Regards, Dewayne.
