qgis: Error copying directory from "_dummy_thread" to ".../build/output/python/".

[news24lor]

After many test qgis 2.18.17 does not built on Mac OS X 10.13.x

All dependencies are built but something is missing. The module pyfuture is missing.

I don't know if the last qgis 2.18.22 resolve but this bug is linked to macports in Mac OS X 10.13.x. In 10.12.x qgis is built.

Perhaps the problem for QGIS under Mac OS X 10.13.x is to disable pyfuture. To disable pyfuture is need this flag in configure:

WITH_INTERNAL_FUTURE OFF

Where can I change the configure file to test?

Thanks

I’m overdue on this, and on maintaining QGIS 2.18 in general. Will do the modification ASAP. Thanks for your patience.

Thank you !!!

Facing the same problem trying to install on a MacPro running 10.11.6 (the latest supported system), where QGIS3 cannot be installed due to some qt5-related error.

Following the suggestion by news24lor I added the configuration argument to the Portfile, found in

/opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/macports/release/tarballs/ports/gis/qgis/Portfile

that now looks like

...
...
cmake.install_prefix    ${applications_dir}
#configure.args-append  "--trace"
configure.args-append   "-DWITH_INTERNAL_FUTURE=OFF"
configure.args-append   "-DWITH_GRASS=OFF"
...
...

and the installation was successful. But then upon launch I get this message, which seems to indicate that python support is disabled, so this is not an optimal solution...:

Couldn't load QGIS utils.
Python support will be disabled.

Hi fvaccari

Your change in the configure file is good for QGIS 2.18.x. Now it builds under OS 10.13 and 10.14.

About your problem, you have to install py-future package in MacPorts. QGIS 2.18.17 works very well

Replying to Veence:

What's the status of this issue? Does a fix such as the one suggested above still need to be committed?

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The reported problem Error copying directory from "_dummy_thread" to ".../build/output/python/" does still exist for me on High Sierra.

The port is still at version 2.18.17. The reporter noted above 2 years ago that 2.18.22 was available. In the mean time, 2.18.28 is available. Maybe updating will fix it.

I’m closing all old tickets, since I’m not sure they’re relevant at all. Please reopen a new one in case the issue is still at hand.
