qt4-mac @4.4.3_1 QtGui lib missing

[martin@…]

lastest gnunet-qt frontend doesn't compile, cause it's looking for QtGui library, but latest macports build creates QtGui_debug libs ->

XYZ:~ hexa$ port installed qt4-mac
The following ports are currently installed:
  qt4-mac @4.4.3_1 (active)

XYZ:~ hexa$ pkg-config --libs QtGui
No package 'QtGui' found

hexa$ pkg-config --libs QtGui_debug
-F/opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac/lib -framework QtGui -framework Carbon -framework AppKit -framework QtCore -framework ApplicationServices -L/opt/local/lib -L/opt/local/lib/mysql5/mysql -L/opt/local/lib/postgresql83 -L/opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac/lib -lpng -lz -lm 

i have had to manually add that /opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac to my $PATH now it detects moc but still no qtgui lib

/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/QtGui_debug.pc exists, but QtGui.pc is only at /opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac/lib/pkgconfig/QtGui.pc

as a workaround, you can export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac/lib/pkgconfig/

This was an intentional choice to avoid conflict with qt4-x11.
The reason QtGui_debug is there is because qt4-x11 has no such file (so no conflict).

I am not sure how gnunet-qt builds.

Often, setting the environmental variable

QTDIR=${prefix}/libexec/qt4-mac

will work.

With cmake, I believe setting the configuration argument

 -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE=${prefix}/libexec/qt4-mac/bin/qmake

also works.

Do either of these allow you to compile gnunet-qt?

Do the previous suggestions allow this ticket to be closed?

Please give me some time for testing.

I was able to compile it like this: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac/lib/pkgconfig export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac/bin ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-extractor=/opt/local

And it detected qt, also compiled it.

The "problem" still remains: Brokenness in macports Qt is that they install pkgconfig .pc files in /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig and the place under libexec. But the /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig path gets only the debug versions for some bizarre reason.

Replying to martin@…:

I was able to compile it like this: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac/lib/pkgconfig export PATH=$PATH:/opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac/bin ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-extractor=/opt/local And it detected qt, also compiled it.

I am glad it works.

The "problem" still remains: Brokenness in macports Qt is that they install pkgconfig .pc files in /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig and the place under libexec. But the /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig path gets only the debug versions for some bizarre reason.

Please seem above for an explanation for why this is not broken but a design choice.
