In order for configure to work i had to create a folder fish and put the src folder inside it.
@panosdim, That tells me you didn't install the source package correctly. Doing a simple git clone should have produced the correct directory structure. I don't think there is any point in debugging your other build problems until you've correctly installed the source package. What commands did you run to install the fish source?

Even with a fresh git clone i had the same problem with configure
