kdevelop @4.7.2: fails to build

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

What's going on here:

regarding those "source file is not valid UTF-8" errors???

No idea, I've never seen it. Can you paste the full compile command for qbytearray.cpp?

And please list /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_kde_kdevelop/kdevelop/work/build/debuggers/gdb/printers/tests/ . I have a hunch that qbytearray.cpp picks up its own executable (called qbytearray, in that directory) when you're building on a case-insensitive filesystem.

Try replacing the #include <QByteArray> statement with #include <qbytearray.h> and see if the error goes away.

[RJVB (René Bertin)]

NB: if this is indeed the error, it would seem that it'd be useful to propose an extension to MacPorts "base":

if a new switch (for instance build.casesensitive) is true, do not create ${workpath} as a simple directory under var/macports/build, but create a dmg with a case-sensitive filesystem, and mount that onto the expected ${workpath}.

full log

[mkae (Marko Käning)]

Added full log to show that there are simply too many of these errors.

Here is the ls output:

René, would you agree with me to close this as wontfix, as main development on KDevelop happens nowadays exclusively on KF5?

[RJVB (René Bertin)]

Either way, there's nothing we can do if the errors are due to building on a case-insensitive FS. So yeah, close it as wontfix if you want.
