id summary reporter owner description type status priority milestone component version resolution keywords cc port 50347 qt4-mac lacks global pkgconfig data fhgwright michaelld "In tracking down why gpsd can no longer find the qt4 QtNetwork library with pkgconfig, I think I found the problem. The qt5 Portfile has code starting at line 1300 as follows: {{{ # put configuration files in places they will be found automatically }}} However, there is no equivalent in the qt4-mac Portfile. I suspect that this was an oversight related to moving the qt4 files into ${prefix}/libexec/qt4/ to allow parallel installations of qt4 and qt5 (r140960), and that older versions of qt4-mac were ""naturally findable"" by pkg-config. In the case of gpsd, this doesn't result in any build errors, since its SConstruct script silently (albeit visible with -v) disables the qt option when it can't find the QtNetwork library.
