doublecmd no longer in FreeBSD pkg repo

[blackhaz]

Turns out we've lost doublecmd from repos for some reason. Does anyone have any idea how to build the qt5 version of doublecmd from ports? make config doesn't provide that option.

Are you using quarterly or latest for pkgs?
It looks like it's still in the ports tree:

FreeBSD Ports Search

ports.freebsd.org

If you have an up to date ports tree you should be able to build it; the "flavors" look like distinct ports, so cd x11-fm/doublecmd-qt5 and make from there.

As for "why" typically because it fails to build for whatever reason.

If you can build it, you should be able to install it with cd x11-fm/doublecmd && make FLAVOR=qt5 install.
It seems that the build fails because LazUTF8Classes was removed in Lazarus 3.0.

It's been having build issues: https://portsfallout.com/fallout?port=x11-fm/doublecmd$

Next time you run into something missing, look up the port on Freshports. Then click on the "radioactive" button. That will take you to https://portsfallout.com and you can check if it failed to build. If ports fail to build they're going to be "missing" from the package repositories.

That's a nice trick, thank you.

... and if that thing is empty then an dependency failed to build.

Yes, that's possible. Unfortunately in that case a fallout won't be registered and you will have to dig around the actual build logs to see what happened.

You can find those here: https://pkg-status.freebsd.org but the interface is a bit daunting, you also require IPv6 to be able to access the individual build servers.

It's interesting that the GTK2 version of doublecmd is reported as failing to build as well in portsfallout.com, but I have actually built it locally from ports successfully.

this is often the case if you have trimmed down the options of a port and/or its dependencies.
E.g. I build graphics/okular without the 'PURPOSE' option, which would drag in *A LOT* of KDE-related stuff and samba. A while ago the latest samba wouldn't build for a while, so okular fell out of the latest pkg repositories, but it still built fine on my buildhost because I didn't have that dependency.

 

[blackhaz]

Built with the default config, didn't make any changes.

 

[SirDice]

It's possible the issue has been resolved in the ports tree but there hasn't been a new build run yet. So the package would still be missing.

Build fails in Quarterly.
he ports have been updated to 1.1.8, so if it is the Latest, the package is available.
