qt5-qtbase build problem

[cederom (CeDeROM)]

Fresh MacPorts, for some time QT5 (also the QT4) build fails leaving lots of unmet dependencies, clean does not help, selfupdate does not help..

Version: 2.3.4

In the future, please Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers qt5-qtbase), if any.

Sorry I am new to MacPorts Trac. However, used FreeBSD for years, even created some ports myself :-)

How can I edit my request?

1. Title should be QT5 build problems.
2. Maintainers are: mcalhoun and openmaintainer at macports.org.

In general I have no QT5 nor QT4 at the moment. This sux :-(

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

Unfortunately, the reporter currently cannot edit tickets.

I had already assigned the ticket to the maintainer. openmaintainer is not a real person and is not Cc'ed. As reporter, you do not need to Cc yourself.

I have modified the summary to correct the Port name that is failing.

Are you by chance using libressl?

info:build ssl/qsslcontext_openssl.cpp:349:33: error: use of undeclared identifier 'SSL_CTRL_SET_CURVES'
:info:build                                 SSL_CTRL_SET_CURVES,
:info:build                                 ^
:info:build 1 error generated.
:info:build make[2]: *** [.obj/qsslcontext_openssl.o] Error 1
:info:build make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

If so, Qt does not support it.
The same error can be found in #51358.
There was talk of creating a backend to support libressl, but I can not find any current information about it.
Gentoo apparently has ​patches to make Qt work with libressl, but I am not sure we want to support something that upstream has rejected.

Email verification that is the same issue as #51358.
Closing as duplicate.
