qt4 dependency checking

[jjstickel@…]

Although py26-pyqt4 reported that qt4-mac is a dependency, it was not picked up when I tried to install it:

$ port deps py26-pyqt4
Build Dependencies:   pkgconfig
Library Dependencies: qt4-mac, py26-sip
$ port installed qt4-mac
None of the specified ports are installed.

It appears that the dependency gets pulled in via the qt4 PortGroup, and so perhaps that is where the bug lies.

I also see that the depends_lib is correct. Maybe it has something to do with adding in dependencies in a Portgroup instead of directly in the Portfile?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

It's a path: dependency so it could potentially be satisfied by all kinds of things. Need to see debug output from the initial install to know what satisfied it.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

So "path:bin/qmake:qt4-mac" means: this dependency is satisfied if either, in this order: (1) ${prefix}/bin/qmake exists; if not, then: (2) qt4-mac is installed. Yes, seeing a debug log would be helpful. Could the OP please attach the "Log for py26-pyqt4"?

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Do a "clean" then "selfupdate" and then try again. I just removed a cyclic dependency from qt4-mac in r72678. Maybe that will help?

Seems to work now. After uninstalling py26-pyqt4 and deactivating qt4-mac, a reinstall of py26-pyqt4 correctly activates qt4-mac.
