wireshark2 @ 2.6.1 does not build

[ylluminarious (George Plymale II)]

Hi,

I apologize if this bug has already been filed; I searched and searched for it but found nothing. Anyway, my problem is exactly what it says on the tin. No variants, just simply attempting to sudo port install wireshark2 results in:

Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.
Error: Processing of port wireshark2 failed

I also re-attempted this installation after running:

$ sudo port clean wireshark2
$ sudo -s
$ port selfupdate && port upgrade outdated && port_cutleaves && port reclaim

Just to make sure that my ports weren't out-of-date and causing some strange issue thereby. But no dice; even after updating my ports tree as above, I still had the same error when installing wireshark2. I have attached the full main.log file. The only error I can see is around line 4598:

...
/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_net_wireshark2/wireshark2/work/wireshark-2.6.1/ui/qt/packet_format_group_box.cpp:21:18: error: variable has incomplete type 'QStyleOption'

:info:build class QStyleOption;

...

Is this a problem in the upstream or is it a problem with Macports? I honestly can't tell just from this information alone. FYI, I'm running on 10.13.5; I'm not sure whether that's part of the problem or not.

Thanks.

Oh, I should probably note that I also have Homebrew installed along with its qt5 formula. Not sure whether that's relevant or not, but I suppose it could be.

The error message you provided makes it clear that the problem is interference from software you installed in /usr/local. We cannot support systems that have things installed in /usr/local via Homebrew or other methods. See wiki:FAQ#usrlocal. Please choose whether you would like to use Homebrew or MacPorts, and uninstall the other. If there's something you need that's in Homebrew that's not in MacPorts, let us know by filing a port request ticket.

Got it, thanks for clarifying what the problem was.
