qt4-mac-devel (4.8.0 beta 1) fails to build under Lion.

[trojanfoe@…]

I have successfully built qt4-mac-devel under Mac OS Lion without the +debug and +universal variants, however I have recently tried and got the following error:

--->  Computing dependencies for qt4-mac-devel
--->  Fetching archive for qt4-mac-devel
--->  Attempting to fetch qt4-mac-devel-4.8.0-beta1_0+debug+demos+examples+quartz+universal.darwin_11.i386-x86_64.tbz2 from http://packages.macports.org/qt4-mac-devel

Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command failed (see log for details)
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>

However the logfile (/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_aqua_qt4-mac-devel/qt4-mac-devel/main.log) doesn't appear to show anything useful (uploaded anyway). Is there another logfile that give me more details?

To clarify, I built the port using:

$ port install qt4-mac-devel +debug +universal +demos +examples

I am using Xcode 4.1 under Mac OS Lion (10.7.1).

That looks like the wrong log. clean the port and re-attach the log.

And, please compress the log before attaching; it'll be rather large.

I got the same error with qt4-mac-devel today. See my log in main.log.zip attachment

Cc Me!

(1) When attaching a log, please make it for the full install, not just the immediate error. Oftentimes providing the output from the various stages helps. So, please do:

sudo port clean qt4-mac-devel
sudo port -d install qt4-mac-devel [+options]> ~/Desktop/qt4-mac-devel-install_log.txt 2>&1
bzip2 ~/Desktop/qt4-mac-devel-install_log.txt

and then attach that compressed log file to this ticket.

(2) qt4-mac-devel is up to 4.8.0-rc1, so please do:

sudo port clean qt4-mac-devel
sudo port selfupdate

and then try installing qt4-mac-devel again (via (1), in case there's an error).

[vasily.matveev@…]

I have already tried it with 4.8.0-rc1 - result is the same. Will atach a new log file in a few minutes

Thanks. Is it possible for you to try compiling with llvm instead of clang? I'm still working on getting clang to compile Qt correctly -- there are some features missing from clang that might be causing this issue (and, others). I think you do this via:

sudo port clean qt4-mac-devel
sudo port -d install qt4-mac-devel configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2 > ~/Desktop/qt4-mac-devel-llvm_log.txt 2>&1

and then check to see if the install worked or not. If not, bzip2 to the logfile & attach it here as well. I'll boot on 10.7 tomorrow & try to check this issue out over the next few days.

[vasily.matveev@…]

It works ok with llvm way

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Thanks; I had expected that. I'll work on tweaking both qt4-mac and qt4-mac-devel to require llvm for now on 10.7. I'd love to support clang, but when -documented- features do not work at advertised it's kinda hard to do so.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

I just checked in r85975, which forces qt4-mac-devel 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.
