kmymoney4 does not build with Qt 4.8

[bs48@…]

If I try to build kmymoney4 with QT 4.8 (current), the kdchart component does not build.

This is a known issue upstream, but I know of no patch from the KMyMoney developers. ​http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kmymoney-devel/2012-February/007698.html

If I then try to downgrade to Qt 4.7.4 by 'activating' it in MacPorts, I am able to compile KMyMoney OK, but it does not run; the process simply appears to hang, and its icon stays in the Dock. No windows are opened.

Much as I like KMyMoney, I loathe doing books, and I also loathe having to keep a Linux installation around "just" to run it.

Yes, you are absolutely right: kmymoney4 (i.e. its latest release version 4.6.2) is indeed broken due to KDChart. Thanks for pointing this out''

However, you can build kmymoney4-devel successfully with Qt 4.8 (qt4-mac) since the KMM devs have indeed incorporated the necessary improvements in their development version shortly after noticing the issue:

    Update our internal copy of KDChart to version 2.4.3.

P.S.: I'd recommend to run a "sudo port selfupdate; sudo port upgrade outdated" on your system, in case you haven't done so already.

Fixed this issue for now by disabling the current release version in r94379.
