phonon: library not found for -lphonon

[bjoern.ricks@…]

The following ports are currently installed:
  qt4-mac @4.6.3_6+mysql (active)

I am not sure if qt4.7 is required for the phonon port but currently I am not able to update my qt version and I wan't to compile some KDE software and therefore phonon is a requirement.

Responding to the OP: The Phonon port is meant to be used with the latest qt4-mac port. Environment and CMake variables are set pointing Qt to ${prefix}/include and ${prefix}/lib for everyone. qt4-mac 4.6 series was installed into ${prefix}/libexec/qt4-mac, which in general will not be found by CMake -- except through the QMake variables assuming qt4_select is installed and set to link in qt4-mac. Let's tackle your other ticket (#27611) first, and I think that this one will then resolve itself.
