docbook-utils @0.6.14_4 can be built with Perl 5.26 instead Perl 5.24

Description

This works on PPC Tiger, Mac OS X 10.4.11, and PPC Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5.8, and also Snow Leopard, Mac OS X 10.6.8. I finally could get rid of Perl 5.24.

This is easy!

Yes, this was my intention as well. Since I managed to upgrade to El Capitan, I can report that the docbook-utils also build with Perl 5.26 on El Capitan, OS X 10.11.6.

Hmmm. I hit a build error when I try.

Interestingly the same happens now for me on PPC Mac OS X 10.5.8, Leopard. Last year it worked…

This is a problem with ordering of the XML catalogs. A solution is to remove all traces of the catalogs and then reinstall the packages you want; the catalogs should then be installed in the correct order in the future. From #46132 (which is describing another problem, but where I posted this cleanup; other closed tickets have also posted this):

sudo port uninstall docbook-xml-4.3 docbook-xml-4.4 docbook-xml-4.5 iso8879 docbook-xml-4.2 openjade docbook-sgml-4.2 docbook-utils p5.22-sgmlspm docbook-dsssl docbook-xml-5.0 docbook-xsl docbook-xsl-ns sgml-common
sudo rm -rf /opt/local/etc/sgml /opt/local/etc/xml
sudo port install -s openjade

Check the versions of the perl packages and modify that uninstall (and reinstall) line appropriately. Please let me know if you continue to have problems building.

comment:7 Changed 7 years ago by lockhart (Thomas Lockhart)

I've added a patch to build for perl 5.24 and 5.26, defaulting to 5.26. Let me know if multi-version support is *not* recommended and I'll redo the patch.

See my response to the other report of problems. It is an XML catalog ordering problem which can be cleared up by reinstalling those catalogs from scratch. Once that is done future updates and re-installations should happen cleanly.

@ lockhart: There is no need to support multiple perl versions. Please only support the latest (5.26).

sudo port install -s openjade

This worked for me on PPC Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5.8, too. I think the optimal sequence to install is:

docbook-xml-4.3 docbook-xml-4.4 docbook-xml-4.5 iso8879 docbook-xml-4.2 openjade docbook-dsssl docbook-sgml-4.2 sgml-common p5.26-sgmlspm docbook-utils docbook-xml-5.0 docbook-xsl docbook-xsl-ns
