qt5-mac is missing QtUiTools framework/library

[jpwhiting (Jeremy Whiting)]

After installing qt5-mac on OSX Mavericks I tried to build kwidgetsaddons against it and found though it has the header files it is missing the framework in /opt/local/Libraries/Frameworks . Qt from qt-project.org mac installer has this library included.

A native qt5 install on my OSX/CI system has these files:

$ pwd
/opt/kde/install/darwin/mavericks/clang/kf5-qt5/qt5/inst
$ find . -name "*Qt5UiTools*"
./lib/cmake/Qt5UiTools
./lib/cmake/Qt5UiTools/Qt5UiToolsConfig.cmake
./lib/cmake/Qt5UiTools/Qt5UiToolsConfigVersion.cmake
./lib/libQt5UiTools_debug.a
./lib/libQt5UiTools_debug.la
./lib/libQt5UiTools_debug.prl
./lib/pkgconfig/Qt5UiTools.pc

while a VM having qt5-mac installed keeps them in /opt/local/lib, so obviously not as a framework:

$ port contents qt5-mac | grep Qt5UiTools
  /opt/local/lib/cmake/Qt5UiTools/Qt5UiToolsConfig.cmake
  /opt/local/lib/cmake/Qt5UiTools/Qt5UiToolsConfigVersion.cmake
  /opt/local/lib/libQt5UiTools.a
  /opt/local/lib/libQt5UiTools.prl
  /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/Qt5UiTools.pc
}}}.

Looks like this ticket has to be treated as worksforme...

I'd love to be proven wrong, or shown what I'm doing wrong on my end, but when I run cmake (via kdesrc-build running it for me) I'm getting this:

The imported target "Qt5::UiTools" references the file

but this file does not exist. Possible reasons include:

• The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.

• An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.

• The installation package was faulty and contained

"/opt/local/lib/cmake/Qt5UiTools/Qt5UiToolsConfig.cmake"

but not all the files it references.

port -q installed qt5-mac                       
  qt5-mac @5.3.2_1 (active)
port contents qt5-mac | grep libQt5UiTools.a
  /opt/local/lib/libQt5UiTools.a
tar jtf /opt/local/var/macports/software/qt5-mac/qt5-mac-5.3.2_1.darwin_13.x86_64.tbz2 */libQt5UiTools.a
./opt/local/lib/libQt5UiTools.a

If the "./opt/local/lib/libQt5UiTools.a" files exists in the tar file above but not on your file system, deactivating and reactivation the qt5-mac port should restore the /opt/local/lib/libQt5UiTools.a file.

sudo port deactivate qt5-mac
sudo port activate qt5-mac

[jpwhiting (Jeremy Whiting)]

I do actually have /opt/local/lib/libQt5UiTools.a, the problem is that the Qt5UiToolsConfig.cmake is trying to find it in /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/libQt5UiTools.a where it is not installed. So it seems the library is there, but the cmake Config file is wrong somehow.

I'm getting this:

Please use wiki formatting for code, to avoid the output being mangled like in comment 3. You should be able to edit this comment and simply put 3 curly brackets around the code block.

Oh, perhaps this is why the qt4-mac maintainer put the extra effort into building/simlinking libs and frameworks?

[RJVB (René Bertin)]

In fact, qt4-mac generates a normal frameworks build, and then creates shared libraries by symlinking lib/libFoo.dylib to Library/Frameworks/Foo/Foo . I'm not sure where a framework build would put a static library, though.

r142505 fixed some cmake problems.
Was this problem fixed as well?

[MarcusCalhoun-Lopez (Marcus Calhoun-Lopez)]

Hopefully, r142505 fixed the problem.
If not, we can reopen the bug report.
