qt4-mac conflicts with kdelibs4 which depends on qt4-mac

[cdavis@…]

Why does qt4-mac conflict with kdelibs4 when kdelibs4 depends on qt4-mac?

One or the other needs to be fixed.

The argument for adding the conflict (r62748) was that qt4-mac cannot build if kdelibs4 is already installed.

Whoops, sorry.

I successfully built qt4-mac @4.6.1_0 with kdelibs4 @4.3.4_1 installed. I take it then that this is a conflict between qt4-mac @4.6.1_0 and kdelibs4 @4.3.5_0.

Well this sucks. Now I have to deactivate kdelibs4 every time I want to upgrade qt4-mac.

I suspect that this is an upstream bug, so I'm going to go look on the KDE website to find out exactly what about kdelibs4 causes building qt4-mac to fail.

Did you discover anything?

Oddly enough, I found nothing. No bugs in either the KDE or QT databases related to build problems like this.

You know what else? I don't seem to be having qt4-mac build problems, even with kdelibs4 installed. It's as true now as it was back when I first filed this. I mean, I just built qt4-mac @4.6.2 today, and I didn't have any build problems whatsoever.

I'm not sure the conflict should even be there. It's not even effective at stopping me from building qt4-mac with kdelibs4 installed. All it does is stop me from installing it.

I did find this however in this database: #20199: qt4-mac fails to build

Look familiar? After reading it, I'm not so sure this is an upstream bug anymore. I now suspect that there must have been something horribly wrong with the reporters' systems (since I don't seem to have any build problems). Or maybe they fixed whatever problem there was in 4.6, even though nobody filed a bug. Could be either one.

qt4-mac no longer conflicts with kdelibs4.
