Ports that use qmake: consider using the new qmake portgroup

[cooljeanius (Eric Gallager)]

(Made as a separate ticket per comment:ticket:38280:22) There is now a qmake portgroup as of r106912. Here is a list of ports that use qmake somewhere in their respective portfiles:

[moved to attachment:qmake_search.txt​ because it’s pointless and makes ticket modification emails enormous. —larryv]

That list, with just the ports, and the irrelevant ones removed, becomes:

• arora
• bitcoin
• bitdht
• clustalx
• cmake
• djview [no benefit, see comment:10]
• doxygen
• GLC_lib
• gnuradio
• goldendict
• gwenhywfar4 [no benefit, see comment:5]
• k3dsurf
• kdiff3
• libQGLViewer [r107011, see comment:11]
• mythtv-core.25 [no benefit, see comment:7]
• OpenCSG
• openscad
• psi-otr
• py-pyqt4
• py26-pyqt3
• qca
• qfsm
• qgit
• QMK-Groundstation
• qscintilla
• qt-assistant
• qt4-creator-mac
• qt4-mac-mysql55-plugin
• qt4-mac-postgresql91-plugin

Maintainers of these ports, consider whether you could use the qmake portgroup for your respective ports.

I've browsed the linked tickets, but I didn't notice a reason that this is a separate port group. Why not just add these bits to the qt4 port group (maybe version 2.0)?

Also, I noticed the line:

    configure.pre_args-delete       --prefix=${prefix}

I'm pretty sure mythtv-core.25 needs that argument. Is it harmful to other ports?

I wanted to just include this in the qt4 portgroup, too, but apparently not all ports that use the qt4 portgroup use qmake, so that's why there's now a separate qmake portgroup. See comment:ticket:38272:1 for reference.

[NicosPavlov]

The portgroup is not meant for all ports using qmake. For example, several ports use qmake within standard autotools, thus compiling by

configure
make

These ports are not concerned by this portgroup, as they define variables during the configuration phase. However, several other ports must be compiled through

qmake
make

The portgroup aims at setting variables for these ports.

Typically, in case the configuration phase is made with qmake, the --prefix argument is not used, and PREFIX is, hence the changes of variables in the portgroup. Due to these differences, it did not appear suitable to include these in the qt4 portgroup which is more general for ports depending on qt4.

Done for abtransfers in r106975

I think gwenhywfar4 should be taken out of the above list, since it uses configure!

I'd edit it to do so, except people without commit access can't edit the OP's of tickets (even if they're their own tickets), so I can't (yet)...

[ctreleaven (Craig Treleaven)]

mythtv-core.25 also uses ./configure and would not benefit from this portgroup.

(And yes, tickets can be assigned to us...but we can't close them or do anything more than comment on them!)

[larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)]

Removed gwenhywfar4 and mythtv-core.25.

By the way, please use better judgment in the future when pasting a ton of output from logs or stdout into ticket descriptions or comments. Where by “use better judgment” I mean “don’t do it”.

[NicosPavlov]

qtiplot done in r106995.
Suppressing djview as it uses configure.
