qscintilla-qt4 fails to build

[tehcog (tehcog)]

Dl'd QScintilla_gpl-2.10.3.tar.gz directly from Sourceforge site (looks as if they have broken or changed the source urls). Placed into /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/qscintilla/ and attempted to upgrade.

BTW, thanks for your help with the previous ticket related to the same port.

1st: You're welcome! I do what I can. Looks like SF is back up and running ... which is good since there are plenty of ports that use it for the source distro.

2nd: Hmm ... yeah I've been working on this issue since after I committed the change. Somehow the QSci code using Qt4 was updated upstream to be incompatible with Qt 4.8 ... no idea how or why. I'm going to push what I know upstream & see if they will deal with it. Fixing the specific error from the log here is easy; fixing subsequent errors is above my knowledge base.

The URLs in the portfile are fine. But SourceForge has been down today and intermittently for the past two weeks since their move to a new datacenter. It's working now, and I have mirrored the distfile manually.

Hi, I'm curious: 1) When adding a new port or a port upgrade isn't there a test to make sure that it actually compiles?

2) Isn't there a way to revert this port to its most recent working version? As it is now I cannot do a "port upgrade outdated"... :-(

Yes this is checked but it might compile under some circumstances but not others.

2) Isn't there a way to revert this port to its most recent working version? As it is now I cannot do a "port upgrade outdated"... :-(

If you tried and failed to upgrade it, then you still have installed the previous working version. No need to revert anything.
