Okular installation not working in Ventura13.0.1(arm64)

[Naageswaran (Naageswaran)]

When tried to follow the procedure given in ​https://ports.macports.org/port/okular/ to install Okular, the following error message appeared.

Error: Cannot install okular for the arch 'arm64' because its dependency qt4-mac only supports the archs 'ppc ppc64 i386 x86_64'.

Could you update the port Okular for 'arm64'?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

I think an arm64 build of Okular would require updating to a newer version that would require KDE 5, which is not yet in MacPorts (or getting Qt 4 to work on arm64, which also doesn't seem easy.) Maybe the okular port should set supported_archs to match qt4-mac in the meantime?

Replying to jmroot:

I would think that all ports that depend on qt4 should do that, and that perhaps the qt4 portgroup would be the place to do it. I think I've mentioned that elsewhere before.

Why doesn’t it work on aarch64 though? It builds fine for x86_64 on Sonoma, so no SDK issues, only some arch-specific defines are perhaps missing. There is a port of Qt4 which supports arm64: ​https://github.com/fluxer/katie

Some patches, including those for aarch64 support, apparently: ​https://github.com/flathub/shared-modules/tree/master/qt4
