I know this will take a long time, but I need a full log file including the configure stage. Can you do:

sudo port clean qt4-mac
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install qt4-mac

and then if/when it errors out, copy the log somewhere & then compress it before attaching to this ticket.

Googling the error message, I find this report, which includes a patch:

​https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-18346?focusedCommentId=157806&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-157806

Can the OP verify that this patch works, please? I'll try adding it locally & seeing if it works for me (though, Qt already compiles for me correctly, so I guess this is just verifying that it continues to compile correctly for me).

trial patch for qt4-mac to address ticket issue

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

I just attached a patch that changes both the Portfile (to add the patchfile-append) as well as adds the patchfile itself. I'll be using these for my testing this morning.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I'm testing on Tiger too. Currently building qt4-mac as-is to verify the problem. Assuming it fails, I'll try the patch. This will take a couple days to do; my G4 is not fast and qt4-mac is huge. I'll try to test on i386 too.

Full log (without patch)

[rudloff@…]

Here is the full log (without patch). I will now try with the patch.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

With the patch (and without) it builds for me -- 10.6, 64-bit, XCode 3.2.3. I haven't tried 10.7 yet.

[rudloff@…]

The patch worked for me (10.4 Intel).

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I confirmed the issue on both of my Tiger installations, and verified the patch fixed it on i386. The ppc build is still running.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Yes the patch fixes it on ppc too.
