qtiplot 0.9.7.8 fails to build on Snow Leopard

[Stochasticus@…]

Trying to install qtiplot on Snow Leopard with Xcode Version 3.2 (1610). I patched the port file with the most recent update as it was failing with different errors before. This is the output without debug on and then I'll include the lines from the log file with debug on that include errors. I couldn't find anything by searching for the errors mentioned so I apologise if it's already out there somewhere.

I will attach the full log as well.

install log file with -d flag on for qtiplot

It seems that your Qt version was compiled without Qt3Support.

But an other problem is that qtpilot-0.9.7.8 can't be nuild with an up to date version sip. This has been fixed in the 0.9.7.9 release which came out this week. I'll try to update the port this weekend.

Right, I didn't do that deliberately, it was simply installed as a dependency. Should I put in another report about that?

Okay, I can certainly wait. Thanks.

I would say so... At a quick look at the qt4-mac port I saw that there is no variant to enable/disable qt3support, so it appears to be a bug in the Portfile. I've still got an older version installed which has qt3support.

Again this reveals a long time problem with MacPorts in general: it is not possible to depend on a certain version of a port, nor can one ensure variants on a dependency, not is it possible to have several versions of a port in the tree....

[Stochasticus@…]

There seems to be a similar issue in this ticket #20362 which may explain it. Do you think if I reinstall qt4-mac without the cocoa variant it might solve this part of the problem?

[Stochasticus@…]

Apparently I'm on a hiding to nothing here as it's impossible to get qt4-mac with qt3 on Snow Leopard (see #21448). So, unless a new version of qtiplot is likely to turn up that doesn't need the qt3 support then I'm out of luck.

done in r57915

I'm closing this ticket since the missing qt3support libs have nothing to do with Qtiplot itself. Getting rid of qt3support is scheduled for 1.0.0; but before that 0.9.8 and 0.9.9 are on the roadmap.

[jonas@…]

could you please try again? Revision 2 of qt4-mac includes a patch which should add (a subset of) qt3support even on 64 bit cocoa builds. see r58937 and #20362

[Stochasticus@…]

It works! I got an error when building qtiplot that said that it violated some standard for placing files in /usr/ but I'm afraid I don't think I've got a log file for that. is there some default log somewhere for macports? Anyway, the software seems to run fine though I get some command line errors while trying out a simple plot that I will try to replicate and post if they happen again.
