Description

I am trying to build Qt (4.7.3 at the time of writing) under Mac OS Lion using Apple's clang.I have used the subversion-installed version of macports and am using file:///opt/mports/trunk/dports for the port definition files. I have modified portconfigure.tcl to explicitly use "clang" as the configure.compiler.

Anyway it looks like dbus/dbus.h cannot be found when compiling qdbusconnectioninterface.o, and this is because the include directory (/opt/local/include/dbus-1.0) isn't being specified on the command line. However this directory *is* being specified earlier on in the build, when other dbus-related object files are being built.

I have attached the log file.

comment:1 Changed 13 years ago by trojanfoe@…

A temporary workaround seems to be to edit the post-configure part of the Portfile and remove anything DBUS related (i.e. stop it from removing -I and -L from the qmake cache files). This allows compilation to continue but the build fails in some Objective-C++ source files, which is 99.99% an upstream problem anyway.

I have attempted to build against the 10.6 SDK using a -mmacos_version_min=10.6 but there are still errors. 4.7.3 won't build under Lion.

Do not set the Milestone field for port tickets.

Do set the Port field to the affected port, and Cc the affected port's maintainer.

What happens if you don't modify portconfigure.tcl to use clang? What happens if you use it as shipped, using llvm-gcc-4.2?

comment:4 Changed 13 years ago by trojanfoe@…

I haven't tried not using clang, but the build problems are in Objective-C code and I'm sure the compiler won't make any difference.

This should probably be closed as Qt 4.7.3 isn't supported under Lion, as we need to look toward 4.8.0.

I'm traveling right now, and probably won't be able to download / install Lion until early August. So, unless someone can come up with a patch in the interim, folks will just have to be patient for a few weeks.

Also, is this a duplicate of, or related to, #30262?

Doesn't resemble a duplicate from what I can see.

No, the specified patch is already applied to the MacPort.

clang does not use CPATH or LIBRARY_PATH like gcc and llvm-gcc do. That could easily account for the dbus header not being found, only when using clang.

I committed some changes to qt4-mac in r81844. Please do a selfupdate & see if the changes work -- they probably don't for this issue, but you never know :) I'll be installing Lion / 10.7 this weekend, and will try to figure out a workaround once that's done. I welcome thoughts / patches in the meantime.

I'm not sure, if you're last who worked on it, but for me qt4-mac (on lion) works now... :)

If you are using a default install with Lion and Xcode 4.1, you will be using llvm-gcc. This issue is about using clang. It has not yet been confirmed if the latest changes did make it work using clang.

comment:32 Changed 13 years ago by Veence (Vincent)

They do not. You still get that dbus.h not found issue, can be easily fixed by modifying both Makefiles in the ad hoc directory. But then you will get more errors dealing with toll-free bridging from CFStringRef to NSString * and const issues.

My log error out about the same place command. When I run that command manually, I get this error.

So right now I have edited the port file to always make sure "configure.args-append -no-pch" in the darwin platform section to be set always. So far so good.

Did anyone have success compiling qt4-mac on 10.7 with "configure.compiler=clang" by disabling the pre-compiled headers (via forcing "configure.args-append -no-pch")? I'm trying it right now ...

comment:37 Changed 13 years ago by michaelld (Michael Dickens)

Disabling pre-xompiled headers doesn't do it; CLANG just ignores the CPATH and LIBRARY_PATH variables, as has been pointed out elsewhere (e.g., < http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-dev/2011-August/015543.html >). One of the reasons I moved to using CPATH (etc) is that QMake does not follow "reasonable" ordering for headers -- should generally be: local (to project), non-local (but not system), compiler, system. When I get time again (in a few weeks), I'll see if QMake 4.7.4 does ordering better. In the mean time, don't use CLANG as the compiler for qt4-mac.

I seem to have managed to get qt4-mac successfully installed using the llvm-gcc-4.2 compiler.

For anyone who doesn't know how to manually configure the compiler:

(Assuming a standard macports install. If you installed it somewhere else, you're on your own for this first command:

$cd /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/aqua/qt4-mac
$sudo cp Portfile Portfile.old
$sudo nano Portfile

^w
Search for: configure.compiler

Just after this text:
# The build process uses -fconstant-cfstrings.
# configure.compiler should therefore not be one of the MacPorts compilers.

add:
configure.compiler              llvm-gcc-4.2

^o
^x

$sudo port -d -v install qt4-mac

It took my macbook pro about 2 hours to install qt4-mac. Hopefully, given qt4-mac is a dependency of the program I'm actually trying to install, this is the worst problem I experience.

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

I just checked in r85974, which forces qt4-mac to use llvm instead of clang, even if clang is set as the configure.compiler. I'm closing this ticket as fixed; please reopen it if this change doesn't work.

comment:44 Changed 13 years ago by jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)

I think it should work in XCode 4.3
