Hello misc@, This is 6.3 -stable.
Fist of all, thanks for packaging biber, it will make my workflow much shorter when it works. However it looks like there are several issues with biber : * dependencies Many dependencies have to be installed by hand. Most of them are available as packages. Maybe they should be added as dependencies in the texlive package that comes with biber ? Here's the list : p5-Log-Log4perl-1.40p0 p5-IPC-Run3-0.048 p5-Text-Glob-0.11 p5-Number-Compare-0.03 p5-File-Find-Rule-0.34 p5-Data-Compare-1.25 p5-Data-Dump-1.23 p5-Regexp-Common-2017060201 p5-Date-Simple-3.03p0 One module is not packaged AFAIK : autovivification. I installed it manually using cpan. When I run biber after those install, there are missing module error, so this issue is solved. * lazy binding Biber know aborts with this error message : perl:/usr/local/libdata/perl5/site_perl/amd64-openbsd/auto/Unicode/LineBreak/LineBreak.so: undefined symbol 'Perl_xs_apiversion_bootcheck' ld.so: perl: lazy binding failed! Killed As far as I understand, perl is not compiled with lazy binding. I followed this thread suggestion https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=135799515810353&w=2 and set LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libpthread.so.25.1, not knowing at all what I was doing and hopping it wouldn't break anything. This didn't fix my issue. Is there any workaround to this lazy binding issue? Damien
