QGIS @2.18.0 build failure

[BuddyVolly]

Hello, I am using a MacBook Pro early 2011 with El Capitano 10.11.6 I just upgraded from MacPorts 2.3.4 to 2.3.5. After that I upgraded the outdated port which included the upgrade from qgis 2.16.3 to 2.18. This fails with the following messages:

Any help is much appreciated, many thanks,

The problem isn't QScintilla, but QCA (crypto stuff). Some ​recent changes to QCA in 2.1.0_4 to improve compatibility with QT4 and QT5 somehow broke QGis finding the QCA library or headers. Downgrading to 2.1.0_3+qt4 solved the problem for me.

Dear Chris,

may thanks for your answer. I am still a bit new to macports, so I tried, but failed :) I have an older version of qca (2.1.0_2+qt4) that I activated using "port activate". And I also uninstalled the newer version of qca using port uninstall. Before reinstalling gis I uninstalled all qgis versions (after the upgrade attempt it did not work anyway with either of the versions) and did a port clean.

When reinstalling qgis, it is however catching the new qca version so that I am again running into this problem. Can you indicate how to tell him to use the older version?

Thanks in advance, Andreas

I am getting the same build failure trying to update from QGIS @2.18.0 which I have been using for a while to @2.18.0.1.

I tried deactivating my qca @2.1.0_4 and activating qca @2.1.0_3+qt4 (which required deactivating qgis and qca-ossl first). Then I tried to update qgis, but it still failed. MacPorts first reactivated qca-ossl @2.1.0_4, but then it seems to not find the correct qcaossl files. main.log excerpt:

:info:configure -- Found QScintilla2: /opt/local/libexec/qt4/lib/libqscintilla2.dylib (2.9.3)
:info:configure -- Found QCA: /opt/local/lib/libqca.dylib (2.1.0)
:info:configure CMake Error at cmake/QCAMacros.cmake:64 (message):

:info:configure Call Stack (most recent call first):

Is there another hint we can try?

Thanks, ++Eric

I’m currently working on it, but I had to start over given the current Jasper woes and some other minor roadblocks. Expect something today.

[Veence (Vincent)]

It’s been updated and should be fixed.

Please note that the buildbot failed to install any other version than the 10.12-based one, because of timeouts (internal errors I’ve no control over).

Dear Vincent, you know, in heaven, there must be a magical place for guys like you! For me it works. Thanks a lot, Andreas

[EJFielding (Eric Fielding)]

I upgraded to the new @2_18_2_0 and it built with no problems after I cleaned it. Thanks!

I’m not sure I deserve a place in paradise for such a small thing, but I’m happy it made your day. Take care and merry Xmas to both.
