kdelibs4 @4.14.3_14: build failure against openssl 1.1.1

[photor]

Failed to build kdelibs4 when doing "sudo port upgrade outdated" on mac os x 10.10. Tried "sudo port clean --all installed" and then upgraded again, but no help.

Yep, it is blowing up when trying to build against openssl 1.1.1.

This one could be harder to fix, I'm afraid.

[kencu (Ken)]

Rene -- any ideas here?

[NicosPavlov]

I had a rapid look in KDE's git repositories, and I could not find any patch for openssl 1.1, but I found a patch at ​https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/kdelibs-openssl-1.1.patch?h=kdelibs that seems to do the trick. I did not try it extensively, but kdelibs4 builds in that case.

If there is not objection, I'll update the Portfile to include that patch later. For what I remember of KDE4, this should also hopefully let most of KDE work, as kdelibs4 provides the interface for openssl that most dependents then use.

[RJVB (René Bertin)]

Strange that this wasn't caught earlier!

I hope to be able to migrate my own MacStrop tree to OSSL 1.1x over the coming week (hopefully it won't take me the entire week...).

It would stand to reason that a patch for KDE4 would have to come from a distro that also patched Qt4 and not from KDE themselves as they dropped support for the KDE4 libraries years ago.

Or did they? Part of the KDE4 Libraries lives on in the KDELibs4Support framework which contains a number of the old APIs that did not (yet) move to one of the other frameworks (think of them as the "grown up" ones?). And indeed there is this: ​https://cgit.kde.org/kdelibs4support.git/commit/?id=9a990c69c606126bcd60cd7718462aec2a92460d which presumably can be used as a reference to compare the Arch patch against.

[RJVB (René Bertin)]

@Nicos, any news? Did the patch apply cleanly for you? In my case I'll need to touch another patch and/or reinplace that changes paths (sic) in kopenssl.cpp . Should be trivial but I need to get around to figuring it out.

[NicosPavlov]

Sorry, I indeed left that out. I am afraid the patch you sent does not apply cleanly at all. For what I could see, it is due to the fact that it is based on a git version that is different from the one we have currently.

On the other hand, the patch I found cleanly applies, so I would tend to use this one.
