Description

The current qt5 Portfile fails to build against Xcode 8 due to its deprecation of xcrun in favor of the system copy....

Xcode not set up properly. You may need to confirm the license agreement by running /usr/bin/xcodebuild without arguments.

This can be fixed with the following change...

I don’t know the contents of the files you’re patching, but does this patch just change /usr/bin/xcrun -find xcrun to /usr/bin/xcrun -find /usr/bin/xcrun? Is there a problem with using /usr/bin/xcrun directly?

comment:3 Changed 8 years ago by jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)

xcrun wasn't deprecated in Xcode 8, it was removed. It was removed from within Xcode.app because it was redundant to the system-provided version.

That particular reinplace isn't optimal. You should be replacing $(/usr/bin/xcrun -find xcrun) with /usr/bin/xcrun rather than $(/usr/bin/xcrun -find /usr/bin/xcrun)

Also, this should be done as a patch instead of a reinplace and upstreamed to benefit others.

The upstream fix for this is to substitute a check for xcodebuild for that of xcrun.

Since Xcode 8 (beta 2) that tool is no longer available
through xcrun. We resort to xcodebuild instead.

I attached the patch in compatible format (-p0). However, there are so many subports in this Portfile that I am not sure where this needs to be added to patchfiles.

That will fail if the CommandLineTools are selected via xcode-select because they don't contain xcodebuild. Does the build system actually require Xcode? Or just the CLTools?

comment:7 Changed 8 years ago by howarth.at.macports@…

On fink, our qt5-base packaging assumes it does as we have both BuildDepends on...

xcode (>= 5.1.1), xcode.app (>= 5.1.1),

to insure both the CLI and Xcode.app are installed.

This also prevents the phantomjs port from building on Sierra.

Upstream states that they require Xcode.

@larryv, it would seem all the qt5-* ports need this (in my limited testing; I can try more after I finish compiling the rest of my ports)

comment:19 Changed 8 years ago by larryv (Lawrence Velázquez)

Can someone please apply this to their ports tree and test it? I don’t have Qt5 installed.

Sadly, no that doesn't work ;_;

The patch fails to apply to qt5-qtconnectivity ... but when I manually removed it for that port it still fails to build:

First: the patch in question has to be applied to the Qt5 sources, port qt5-qtbase to be exact. Other Qt5 components build using the base libraries and tools installed by that port.

People who installed Xcode 8 after installing Qt5 can edit mkspecs/features/mac/default_pre.prf (in ${prefix}/libexec/qt5, I think) and replace xcrun -find xcrun with xcrun -find xcodebuild by hand.

The error in QtConnectivity appears to be due to another issue. I have had confirmation that the patch I proposed in a different ticket (and which does the same thing as the one attached here) allows Qt5 to build on *10.11* using Xcode 8 .

comment:22 Changed 8 years ago by Julian.Byrne@…

Warning: xcrun is doing something funny. These give different results:

/usr/bin/xcrun -find xcrun # fails
/usr/bin/xcrun -find zip # succeeds

despite the fact that both xcrun and zip are on the PATH in /usr/bin/ . Some configure scripts use "/usr/bin/xcrun -find xcrun".

comment:23 Changed 8 years ago by RJVB (René Bertin)

Yes, that's the exact problem. xcrun doesn't always look on the PATH, it uses its own path for toolchain elements. You'll probably find that it returns something like

> xcrun -find clang
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang

even though your shell will find clang as /usr/bin/clang .

Incidentally this is also why it's quite tricky to build Qt with a different compiler (ditto for Qt dependents that use QMake).

comment:24 Changed 8 years ago by jeremyhu (Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia)

/usr/bin/clang is just a small stub that uses xcrun (which use xcselect) to find the real clang, which is /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang.

The qt5-xcrun.patch​ helped me compile qt5-qtbase. I had to remove the patch for qt5-qtscript and I didn't try building anything else.

comment:27 Changed 8 years ago by RJVB (René Bertin)

Yes - again, the patch is only for QtBase; installing QtBase installs a patched file used by the QMake build system which should allow all other ports that use QMake to configure and build.

Hopefully, this is fixed in r153389.
For the sake of completeness, here the upstream bug report.

Replying to mcalhoun@…:

Hopefully, this is fixed in r153389.

As noted in comment:4:ticket:52620, this changes a file (mkspecs/features/mac/default_pre.prf) that gets installed, so the port's revision must be increased.

Sorry for the delay.
I thought that a revbump in r153389 was not needed since the port either built successfully or not at all.
Hopefully, r154312 really fixes the problem.
