qt5-mac: wrong pkg-config variables

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

$ pkg-config --flags Qt5Core

returns

-I<prefix>/include/QtCore

but that path doesn't exist.

The other flag:

$ pkg-config --libs Qt5Core

returns

-F<frameworks_dir> -framework QtCore

which seems OK (I had problems with -framework QtCore fetching files from the system, but that might have been unrelated).

See ${prefix}/lib/pkgconfig/Qt5Core.pc and others.

See also my workaround in r121585. If you need something to test, you can start there. (Please note that I don't claim that gnuplot's configuration works properly.)

I second that ticket! The pkg-config files /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/Qt5*.pc give the wrong include paths:

/opt/local/include/... instead of /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Qt*.framework/Versions/5/Headers

Please fix this, as it kills the compilation of any project using Macports' Qt5.

Hopefully, this was fixed in r127528.
If not, please feel free to reopen.

no it is not

brew contains the following hackery to fix this issue: ​https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/blob/8d8bca72437591b37907b5ee2f5a1979fbe9c181/Library/Formula/qt5.rb

# The pkg-config files installed suggest that headers can be found in the
# `include` directory. Make this so by creating symlinks from `include` to
# the Frameworks' Headers folders.
Pathname.glob("#{lib}/*.framework/Headers") do |path|
  include.install_symlink path => path.parent.basename(".framework")
end

Looks like a bug in Qt5.

Thanks Marko for pointing me to this issue. Turns out that my port:qt5-mac-devel was affected too. I simply had to remove the post-destroot block that edited the .pc files, because elsewhere in the post-destroot I use the same trick as the HB recipy (and like port:qt4-mac).

Qt5 users can find the files for qt5-mac-devel here: ​https://trac.macports.org/ticket/46536

Should be fixed in r137229.
