kcachegrind4: fix build with recent compilers (fixes #59174)

[NicosPavlov]

Thanks for the report. The commit above should fix the problem.

[kencu (Ken)]

you planning the same for qchachegrind?

[tartarini (Daniele Tartarini)]

thanks for looking into it. The error disappears but kcachegrind4 is not installed anywhere. I cannot get moredebug information other than:

sudo port install kcachegrind4
--->  Computing dependencies for kcachegrind4
--->  Cleaning kcachegrind4
--->  Scanning binaries for linking errors
--->  No broken files found.                             
--->  No broken ports found

any idea why the binary is not staged anywhere?

[NicosPavlov]

In principle (with standard installation paths), binaries are installed in /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4/. It is also possible to list files installed by a port with

port contents kcachegrind4

[tartarini (Daniele Tartarini)]

thanks again. I tested the installed kcachegrind4.app on mojave and it doesn't start.

I believe it is missing the dependency kdesdk4. After installing it works.

Last issue is that it flickers making the interface not usable. I launched the application from command line after declaring the following environment variable

export RasterOff=true

it seems to work fine but I was wondering whether exist a cleaner way to solve.

Replying to tartarini:

I could not reproduce that issue. Kcachegrind seems to be working with only kdelibs4 installed.

Last issue is that it flickers making the interface not usable. I launched the application from command line after declaring the following environment variable

export RasterOff=true

it seems to work fine but I was wondering whether exist a cleaner way to solve.

There are notes in kdelibs4 about using qtconfig for addressing flickering issues, but this is somewhat similar to your approach. You can get them by running

port notes kdelibs4

If there are other issues, please either open a new ticket or get assistance on the mailing list, as these points have not much to do with the problem described in that ticket.
