Maybe updating to 5.5.0 would help.

The patches for qcocoacursor.mm and lalr.cpp in the link above for qt 5.5 are not specific to qt 5.5 and fix the problems building 5.4.2 on el capitan.

I've created patches for lalr.cpp and qcocoacursor.mm taken from the links in the 5.5.0 bug and have successfully built and installed qt-5@5.4.2 with them. I will attach both diffs to this bug as well as a diff of my modified Portfile to apply them (probably not the way the maintainer will do it, but good enough for anyone else who wants to build before port tree is updated.

Tried cleaning, applying patch to Portfile, copying diff files to files dir and building. After about ~45 minutes of building, the build failed. It got a LOT farther than without the patches however. The log file is 169MB! big so I am still trying to find out what the failure is.

Same thing for me. I applied the batch, and I now I passed the initial error, but got much more errors. Any solution for this!

I ran into the same problem as mentioned before. This is due to a library which is not found by clang++:

:info:build clang: error: no such file or directory: '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk/usr/lib/libz.dylib'

The first one is libz.dylib from the log above, others will follow. A complete list:

• libz.dylib
• libssl.dylib
• libcrypto.dylib
• libresolv.dylib
• libbsm.dylib
• libcups.dylib

It seems that, beginning with Xcode 7, .tbd libraries instead of .dylib are used. Please refer to ​https://forums.developer.apple.com/message/8609#8609

For those who are curious, the .tbd files are new "text-based stub libraries", that provide a much more compact version of the stub libraries for use in the SDK, and help to significantly reduce its download size.

In the folder /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk/usr/lib/ only the .tbd version of the mentioned libraries is available, whereas the .dylib file can be found at /usr/lib.

According to the link above, adding a flag for every library might be a solution, but that didn't work for me. I also failed to include the /usr/lib path or the tbd suffix to the qmake environment by altering make.conf for the chosen platform macx-clang.

I could finish the build with symlinks from /usr/lib to the sysroot path set for clang++. But this is no proper solution to fix the Portfile, I guess.

So the real issue here is not Apple's new TBD libraries. The issue is that this Qt module (qtwebengine) isn't looking for dependencies in the MacPorts ${prefix}. It has a bunch of hard-wired dependencies, which point to ${SDK}/usr/lib ... not even /usr/lib (which, as you say, might work). So, the better solution will be to get qtwebengine finding the libraries in the correct location.

I have the first three of those libraries in the macport tree provided by the 'openssl and zlib` packages, so you might try installing those and see if it helps. The last three I have in /usr/lib.

I have both ports installed, as dependency of qt5-mac. So, nothing changed. This provides libz.dylib, libssl.dylib, libcrypto.dylib in second location, ${prefix}/lib. (/opt/local/lib for me)

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

These libraries are installed by MacPorts as dependencies of qt5-mac (and, qt4-mac too). The issue is in finding them. qtwebengine isn't "doing the right thing" here by hard-wiring where to find these when not using the internal version (provided inside qt5-mac).

[casey.webster@…]

Ok, I was grasping at straws trying to reconcile why it builds for me and not others.

[michaelld (Michael Dickens)]

NP. I've no idea why it would build for you & not others. It doesn't build for me because of the TBD libraries issue.

Figured out it is building for me because my default python is 3.4. Qt runs a python script that bails on a print without parenthesis causing a SyntaxError to be raised and fails to retrieve a python version number. It then assumes python < 2.7 and disables qtwebengine from being built. That explains why I am "successfully" building Qt while others are running into errors in Qtwebengine.

Using Python version ., but at least Python version 2.7 is required to build Qt WebEngine.
QtWebEngine will not be built.

After applying the patches the build took much more time but at the end it failed. See attached lo (jzeman_main.log).

You're getting the TBD libraries issue, same as the rest of us. Maybe we should just disable building Qtwebengine? What's it used for anyway?

[jakubzeman@…]

Here is a workaround:

sudo port install zlib openssl xorg-libsm libgnomecups
sudo su -
cd /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk/usr/lib
cp /usr/lib/libresolv.* .
cp /usr/lib/libbsm.* .
cp /usr/lib/libcups.* .
cp /usr/lib/libcrypto.* .
cp /usr/lib/libssl.* .
cp /usr/lib/libz.* .

[ramundsen85]

Replying to jakubzeman@…:

Here is a workaround:

Certainly your workaround will work, but let me comment on this. Installing ports zlib openssl xorg-libsm libgnomecups is not necessary for this, because all libraries are installed in /opt/local/lib. All libraries are already available at /usr/lib without installing ports. Besides that, xorg-libsm provides libSM.dylib and not libbsm.dylib, libgnomecups provides libgnomecups-1.0.dylib and not libcups.dylib.

Instead of copying the libraries from /usr/lib I would recommend symlinks as mentioned above. For example with lib.dylib:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libz.dylib /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk/usr/lib/libz.dylib

[ramundsen85]

After making some progress with manual changes for the first libraries, I found a general solution. The problem can be tracked down to hard-coded relations in the chromium part of qtwebengine. On the project page one can find a solution: ​https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/127759/

Until this change is included in a newer version of Qt5, a patch to chromium can be used. If no dylib variant is found in the sysroot path, the library tbd version is used. This allowed a successful build of qt5-mac for me.

Applied patches and building.... still building.... how long will build take?...... looking good so far.... still building... cows back home.... good gravy, when will it end?.... can't hold .. on .. much.. longer.... put me out of my misery!

It worked! Thanks framic and casey and everyone else who contributes to Macports.

Edited: Rereading my reply, I see how you could interpret with irony and I did not intend any. The entire open source movement, of which Macports is a integral part for Mac users, is a great and noble human endeavor. I try to contribute with the meagre knowledge and skills I have (and kick in money here and there), but my hats off to you guys. If you guys are ever in Los Angeles, I'll buy you a beer.
