Description (last modified by kencu (Ken))

(Made as a separate ticket per comment:ticket:38280:22) There is now a qmake portgroup as of r106912. Here is a list of ports that use qmake somewhere in their respective portfiles:

[moved to attachment:qmake_search.txt because it’s pointless and makes ticket modification emails enormous. —larryv]

List of ports that still need to be fixed:

  • k3dsurf (nomaintainer) - purely based on qt3. upstream inactive since 2005.
  • psi-otr (rowue)
  • qgit (nomaintainer)
  • qt-assistant (michaelld, openmaintainer)
  • qtc-qtsharp (nomaintainer) - Upstream homepage dead
  • qtscriptgenerator (michaelld, openmaintainer)
  • qtsharp (nomaintainer) - Upstream homepage dead
  • qwt (michaelld, openmaintainer)
  • qxmpp (nomaintainer)
  • sqlitedbrowser (nomaintainer)

List of completed/irrelevant ports:

Maintainers of these ports, consider whether you could use the qmake portgroup for your respective ports.

I've browsed the linked tickets, but I didn't notice a reason that this is a separate port group. Why not just add these bits to the qt4 port group (maybe version 2.0)?

Also, I noticed the line:

    configure.pre_args-delete       --prefix=${prefix}

I'm pretty sure mythtv-core.25 needs that argument. Is it harmful to other ports?

I wanted to just include this in the qt4 portgroup, too, but apparently not all ports that use the qt4 portgroup use qmake, so that's why there's now a separate qmake portgroup. See comment:ticket:38272:1 for reference.

comment:3 Changed 12 years ago by NicosPavlov

The portgroup is not meant for all ports using qmake. For example, several ports use qmake within standard autotools, thus compiling by

configure
make

These ports are not concerned by this portgroup, as they define variables during the configuration phase. However, several other ports must be compiled through

qmake
make

The portgroup aims at setting variables for these ports.

Typically, in case the configuration phase is made with qmake, the --prefix argument is not used, and PREFIX is, hence the changes of variables in the portgroup. Due to these differences, it did not appear suitable to include these in the qt4 portgroup which is more general for ports depending on qt4.

Done for abtransfers in r106975

comment:5 Changed 12 years ago by mkae (Marko Käning)

I think gwenhywfar4 should be taken out of the above list, since it uses configure!

I'd edit it to do so, except people without commit access can't edit the OP's of tickets (even if they're their own tickets), so I can't (yet)...

comment:7 Changed 11 years ago by ctreleaven (Craig Treleaven)

mythtv-core.25 also uses ./configure and would not benefit from this portgroup.

(And yes, tickets can be assigned to us...but we can't close them or do anything more than comment on them!)

I passed through the listed ports, and tried to clean up the irrelevant ones, i.e. the ones for which the quake portgroup would be of no use.

  • Ports using standard autotools (eg ./configure): bitdht, cmake, doxygen, qca, qfsm, Vidalia
  • Ports using cmake: gnuradio
  • Ports using python: py-pyqt4, py26-pyqt3
  • Ports without configure phase: xxdiff

Additionally, I noted that some ports employ some conditional code to take into account the case of qt3, which is not considered in the portgroup for now.

I also made a note beside ports which have no maintainer.

comment:15 Changed 11 years ago by neverpanic (Clemens Lang)

What's the rationale behind setting configure.* in a pre-configure block in the PortGroup? This makes it difficult to change the defaults given in the PortGroup.

I think nicos did that in comment:ticket:38280:20...

comment:17 Changed 11 years ago by NicosPavlov

Sorry I did not answer right away.

If I did put those in a pre-configure block, it is because otherwise, the flags were not set right if the portfile was for example setting configure.blacklist, as flags such as QMAKE_CC must be set accordingly, and after having blacklisted compilers. This is also why all flags are with -delete or -append. However, I fully get the point, and if there is another more convenient way of ensuring that some commands are followed that I am not aware of, it surely could improve the portgroup.

clustalx: Fix build failures

Fix build failures due to lack of <string> include and lack of path to
Qt frameworks.

Closes: #43306

Include qmake portgroup to simplify the portfile and to use the right
-arch flags, which also enables the universal variant. This also fixes
qt4-mac to be a library dependency, which requires increasing the
revision.

closes: #47418

Examples work.
There is a newer version 3.0.1
see: #55854

that uses qt5 but didn't build for Ryan two years ago
and didn't build for me either after some trying

This gets the port into a working state while it is
decided how best to handle 3.0.1 and whether to keep
both a qt4 and qt5 version of this in MacPorts
