qt5-qtwebengine @5.6.1: No files have been installed in the destroot directory!

[gewoon.jeebee@…]

For installing ' py34-pyqt5' i need to install the decency 'qt5-qtwebengine '

after: sudo port install qt5-qtwebengine

i get the following errors…

sudo port install qt5-qtwebengine
--->  Computing dependencies for qt5-qtwebengine
--->  Staging qt5-qtwebengine into destroot
Error: No files have been installed in the destroot directory!
Error: Please make sure that this software supports 'make install DESTDIR=${destroot}' or implement an alternative destroot mechanism in the Portfile.
Error: Files might have been installed directly into your system, check before proceeding.

Error: Processing of port qt5-qtwebengine failed

i want to see what the log file says but i have no directory '/opt/local/var/macports/ ' So i also can't add this to this ticket

I run macbook 2008 late with OSX 10.8.5 Don't know if this also happens at other versions of OSX

This was not a ​clean build attempt. Please sudo port clean qt5-qtwebengine, then try again.

You must have a directory /opt/local/var/macports; MacPorts cannot function without it. It's possible it's hidden in the Finder. You can select Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu to get to it, or use the Terminal.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to get qtwebengine 5.6 to work on OS X 10.8.
qt55-qtwebengine supports 10.8, but that would require you to completely reinstall Qt and have all Qt components remain at version 5.5.

At the very least, I will improve the error message.
