Known issues
|
|
|
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Older versions of Doxygen has bugs in the man-page generation which
|
|
|
|
|
cause the builtin help to render incorrectly. Version 1.2.14 is known
|
|
|
|
|
to have this problem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In version 1.9.2, the installation prefix for fish rpms and debs has
|
|
|
|
|
changed from /usr/local to /usr. The package should automatically
|
|
|
|
|
change any instances of /usr/local/bin/fish in /etc/passwd to
|
|
|
|
|
/usr/bin/fish, but some programs, like screen, may need to be
|
|
|
|
|
restarted to notice the changes. You may also run into problems when
|
|
|
|
|
switching between using a package and personal builds.

Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fish requires the following packages to build:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Doxygen
|
|
|
|
|
- Curses or Ncurses
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fish also relies on standard unix tools such as cat, cut, grep, sed,
|
|
|
|
|
whoami and echo. Fish does not support cross-compilation, separate
|
|
|
|
|
build directories or any other fancy configure options. Use a recent
|
|
|
|
|
version of Doxygen, since older versions have bugs that make the
|
|
|
|
|
builtin help pages render incorrectly. Version 1.2.14 is known to be
|
|
|
|
|
broken.

If you have downloaded the darcs repository of fish, you need to run
|
|
|
|
|
autoconf.

% ./configure
|
2006-01-15 21:26:39 +00:00
|
|
|
% make # Compile fish
|
|
|
|
|
% make install # Install fish
|
|
|
|
|
% echo /usr/local/bin/fish >>/etc/shells # Add fish to list of shells

|
|
|
If you wish to use fish as your default shell, use the following
|
|
|
|
|
command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
% chsh -s /usr/local/bin/fish
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
chsh will prompt you for your password, and change your default shell.
|
|
|

Local install procedure

If you have downloaded the darcs repository of fish, you need to run
|
|
|
|
|
autoconf first.

|
To install fish in your own home directory (typically as non-root),
|
|
|
|
|
type:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
% ./configure --prefix=$HOME
|
|
|
|
|
% make # Compile fish
|
|
|
|
|
% make install # Install fish
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will not be able to use fish as the default shell unless you also
|
2006-01-04 13:01:54 +00:00
|
|
|
add the corresponding line to /etc/shells, which mostly defeats the
|
|
|
|
|
point of a local install. As a workaround, you can add fish as the
|
|
|
|
|
last command of the init files for your regular shell.
