ldns build fails - missing man pages?

[Polyergic (Shad Sterling)]

After upgrading to El Capitan, while restoring previous ports, ldns does not build. As near as I can tell, the relevant log messages are these:

:info:destroot ./install-sh: doc/man/man3/* does not exist.
:info:destroot gnumake: *** [install-manpages] Error 1

In case it's related, this is after applying the workaround for #50040.

This was not a ​clean build attempt. Please clean ldns, then try again.

Makes no difference.

After cleaning

%more doc/ldns_manpages 
Can't use 'defined(@array)' (Maybe you should just omit the defined()?) at ./doc/doxyparse.pl line 276.

My path has perl 5.22.1 in it (from perlbrew), so that's what is running the doc/doxyparse.pl script.

Changing the script to use the system provided /usr/bin/perl (5.18.2 on 10.11.3) fixes the build. Modifying doc/doxyparse.pl to remove the defined() in line 276 also fixes the issue (and is backwards compatible with the system's perl 5.18).

I would recommend we patch doxyparse.pl to remove the defined() on line 276 and submit the patch back upstream as well.

I also see the same issue as OP, at "---> Staging ldns into destroot", after a normal sudo port selfupdate, sudo port upgrade outdated process. Port cleaned and process repeated with the same results.

:info:destroot ./install-sh: doc/man/man3/* does not exist.
:info:destroot gnumake: *** [install-manpages] Error 1
:error:destroot org.macports.destroot for port ldns returned: command execution failed
