Doesn't run on FreeBSD 9.3

[SnapshotCiTy]

Hello, I tried to install Znapzend 0.14.0 following both the binary installation and the compile installation process (including the make get-thirdparty-modules step) - as per the readme file and in both cases when trying to run /opt/znapzend-0.14.0/bin/znapzendzetup I get the following error message :

root@abch026:/opt/znapzend-0.14.0/bin # /opt/znapzend-0.14.0/bin/znapzendzetup

root@abch026:/opt/znapzend-0.14.0/bin # perl --version
This is perl 5, version 18, subversion 4 (v5.18.4) built for amd64-freebsd-thread-multi

I haven't found a way to resolve that on my own. Can someone help?

Thank you and have a great and Happy New Year !

Ok - after trying some more - here's what got me to get it up and running on FreeBSD 9.3 :
(assuming a FreeBSD 9.3 with pkg installed)

pkg install wget
pkg install perl5
pkg install p5-mojo
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/oetiker/znapzend/releases/download/v0.14.0/znapzend-prebuilt-0.14.0.tar.gz
#the --no-check-certificate was required to work
tar zxvf znapzend-prebuilt-0.14.0.tar.gz
cp -rp znapzend-prebuilt-0.14.0 /opt/znapzend-0.14.0

then adding the path /opt/znapzend-0.14.0/bin to the set path directive in .cshrc

did you, by any chance neglect to run the configure script and then make get-thirdparty-modules ?

or did you download directly into the install directory ?

[SnapshotCiTy]

No - when trying to build it instead of using the precompiled packages it first needed to use gmake - which was solved by pkg install gmake - then I did use those lines
./configure --prefix=/opt/znapzend-0.14.0
make get-thirdparty-modules
make install
then it complained about not finding mojo - which got solved with pkg install mojo
but then it stops with this error message :

Can't locate ZnapZend/Config.pm in @inc (you may need to install the ZnapZend::Config module) (@inc contains: /opt/znapzend-0.14.0/bin/../thirdparty/lib/perl5 /opt/znapzend-0.14.0/bin/../lib /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.18/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.18 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18/mach .) at ./znapzendzetup line 13.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./znapzendzetup line 13.

At which point I deleted /opt/znapzend* and did it again using the precompiled binaries - and now I get a proper usage manifest when running ./znapzendzetup

Also, I understand the closing of the issue - as it's not really a bug in the code - but lots of FreeBSD users are going to run in the same problems if the documentation is not updated to a process that is straightforward for the numerous FreeBSD users of ZFS out there :-)

[oetiker]

where have you unpacked the source of the tool ?

and what was the output of running configure and make ?

the single purpose of running make get-thirdparty-modules IS to install mojo ... so if it is not installed afterwards, something must have gone pretty wrong
