qjackctl relies on qt4-x11, which doesn't build

[frases@…]

Guys, I am experiencing a problem installing qt4-x11 with the most recent version of MacPorts:

bash-3.2$ sudo port version
Version: 1.9.2

on MacOSX 10.5.8 running XCode 3.1.2.

I had performed a recent reinstall of MacPorts using these instructions: ​http://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.uninstalling

And then built from the binary .dmg: ​http://guide.macports.org/#installing.macports.binary

After I did the reinstall, I installed my preferred set of packages. I wanted to install qjackctl, which depended on qt gui toolkit. The install bombs on the build of qt4-x11. So I focused my attention on that package. Procedurally, I first performed a plain old, install:

bash-3.2$ sudo port install qt4-x11

Based on some other posts of similar issues, I tried this:

bash-3.2$ sudo port clean qt4-x11
--->  Cleaning qt4-x11
bash-3.2$ sudo port uninstall qt4-x11
bash-3.2$ sudo port -fR upgrade openssl
bash-3.2$ sudo port install qt4-x11

Both ended up the same way:

I'm using the most recent version of openssl:

mac:~ newuser$ sudo port installed | grep openssl
Password:
  openssl @0.9.8k_0
  openssl @1.0.0a_0
  openssl @1.0.0d_0 (active)

The other versions of openssl are in the list because I tried various combinations of older versions of qt4-x11 and openssl. To no avail, of course.

Does anyone have any ideas? Is it necessary that openssl be used for qt4-x11? Can I just disable it from the configure process of qt4-x11?

thanks, scott

qt4-x11 is totally obsolete; I don't know why the port still exists (Michael?) or why qjackctl is using it (Dave?). The qt4-mac port is what should be being used...

[frases@…]

FYI:

mac:local newuser$ sudo port deps qjackctl
Full Name: qjackctl @0.3.4_0
Library Dependencies: jack, qt4-x11, xorg-libX11, xorg-libXext

I started working on "qt4-mac +x11"; never found a working combination of QMake build files' tweaks. I became burdened down with other tasks, and haven't gotten back to it (yet). With the release of 4.7.2, maybe I'll give it another go ...

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I thought the idea was that ports that use qt4-mac shouldn't care whether they use Aqua/Quartz or X11, therefore it became a single port with an +x11 variant. Could qjackctl use qt4-mac?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Please use a summary that describes the actual problem.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

I'm playing with qjackctl right now; looks like it'll work with whatever recent Qt4 is installed. I'll update qjackctl to use qt4-mac instead of qt4-x11 & that should solve this issue for now.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

Done in r76645. Please do a selfupdate & try installing qjackctl again. If that works, then IMHO we can close this ticket since there's already (at least) another ticket open on qt4-x11 not compiling / needing upgrade / etc ...

Mike,

After a clean:

mac:Documents newuser$ sudo port clean qjackctl
--->  Cleaning qjackctl

The compile seems to have worked:

mac:Documents newuser$ sudo port install qjackctl
--->  Computing dependencies for qjackctl
--->  Fetching qjackctl
--->  Verifying checksum(s) for qjackctl
--->  Extracting qjackctl
--->  Applying patches to qjackctl
--->  Configuring qjackctl
--->  Building qjackctl
--->  Staging qjackctl into destroot
--->  Installing qjackctl @0.3.7_0+dbus+portaudio
--->  Activating qjackctl @0.3.7_0+dbus+portaudio
--->  Cleaning qjackctl

However, there was no executable created in /opt/local/bin:

mac:Documents newuser$ qjackctl
-bash: qjackctl: command not found

mac:Documents newuser$ echo $PATH
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/opt/local/bin

mac:Documents newuser$ sudo port installed | grep qjack
  qjackctl @0.3.7_0+dbus+portaudio (active)

Doing a find, I see that an executable was created here:

/local/var/macports/software/qjackctl/0.3.7_0+dbus+portaudio/Applications/MacPorts/qjackctl.app/Contents/MacOS/qjackctl

I started the executable in this directory and it seems to work, but I'm not sure why the file got plopped here and not in /opt/local/bin.

For completeness, I should say that before the "clean" above, I did a selfupdate and "port upgrade outdated":

mac:Documents newuser$ sudo port selfupdate
Password:
--->  Updating the ports tree
--->  Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
MacPorts base version 1.9.2 installed,
MacPorts base version 1.9.2 downloaded.
--->  MacPorts base is already the latest version

The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run
  port upgrade outdated
mac:Documents newuser$ sudo port upgrade outdated
--->  Fetching ncursesw
..

thanks for the work on this, Mike. scott

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

In r76657, I add a link from ${prefix}/bin/qjackctl -> ${applications_dir}/qjackctl.app/Contents/MacOS/qjackctl .. do a 'sync' and then update qjackctl for this change. Works for me; hopefully will for you too ;)

Right on, Mike..looks good!

Thanks for the help! I think we can close this out.

You're welcome; thanks for the quick feedback!

No prob..thanks for fixing!
