qt5-qtwebengine @5.14.2: Could not resolve SDK Path for 'macosx10.16' using --show-sdk-path

[cgilles (HumanDynamo)]

MacOS version: 11.01
Xcode Version: 12.2 (12B45b)
MacOS backward compatibilty: 10.13

The problem appears while compiling dependenies to compile digiKam. As you can see, other Qt5 components from 5.14.2 compile fine. So MacOS version and SDK version are properly detected, but not with qtwebengine:

bash-3.2$ ./01-build-macports.sh

Note: digiKam can be compiled with QtWebEngine or QtWebkit as Qt web interface. WebEngine is now the default choice as Webkit compnent is not maintained by Qt team.

For testing, is switch to QtWebkit to see if digiKam compile fine, and it's the case.

So the problem is mainly located in QtWebEngine 5.14.2 about BigSur support.

For info, we have a DOWSTREAM ticket here: ​https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=429103

I suspect you'll have a lot more luck on Big Sur if you use this PR here <​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/8744> to get to qt5.15.1.

That at least installs on BIg Sur as of a couple of weeks ago, and then I think qtwebengine might need a bit more work, but it'll probably be much closer to doable...
