qt5-qtbase @5.15.2_2+openssl: make: c: No such file or directory

qt5-qtbase fails on configure phase
Notification, this port is first that has warning:

warn:clean The macOS 11 SDK does not appear to be installed. Ports may not build correctly.

I can't figure out why I see this.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The erroneous missing SDK message is covered by #61736.

This may also be connected:

:info:configure Failed to resolve SDK path for 'macosx11'

The reasons the build fails seem to be:

:info:configure make: c: No such file or directory

and

:info:configure /bin/sh: o: command not found

I am not certain why it is trying to run nonexistent programs called c and o.

Running into the same problem here on an M1 Mac Mini with Big Sur 11.6 (20G165). These "c" and "o" references looked to me like a truncated build, that is the "o" might really mean "-o" as in "here's the name of the output executable."

Thus, I see in the log:

:info:configure o "../bin/qmake" main.o meta.o option.o project.o property.o ioutils.o proitems.o qmakebuiltins.o qmakeevaluator.o qmakeglobals.o qmakeparser.o qmakevfs.o pbuilder_pbx.o makefile.o makefiledeps.o metamakefile.o
[...]
:info:configure /bin/sh: o: command not found

If I compare this to building the same qt5-qtbase package on a Catalina macOS 10.15.7 system, I see:

:info:configure /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/clang++ -o "../bin/qmake" main.o meta.o option.o project.o property.o ioutils.o proitems.o qmakebuiltins.o qmakeevaluator.o qmakeglobals.o qmakeparser.o qmakevfs.o pbuilder_pbx.o makefile.o makefiledeps.o metamakefile.o projectgenerator.o
[...]

So pretty clearly the compiler and the initial hyphen ("-o" vs "o") are not being defined properly on the Big Sur system. Most definitely related is that I get eight of the errors:

:info:configure Failed to resolve SDK path for 'macosx11'

I tried the fix listed in #61736 (shown above) but this did not work for me.

(By the way, I see the same issue for those "c" errors:

Big Sur:

:info:configure Creating qmake...
:info:configure Failed to resolve SDK path for 'macosx11'
[ ...repeated 7 more times...]
:info:configure c -o main.o -arch arm64 -fconstant-cfstrings -MMD     -g  -I/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_github.com_macports_macports-ports_aqua_qt5/qt5-qtbase/work/qtbase-everywhere-src-5.15.2/qmake
[...]
:info:configure make: c: No such file or directory

Catalina (no errors):

:info:configure Creating qmake...
:info:configure /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/clang++ -c -o main.o -arch x86_64 -fconstant-cfstrings -MMD -stdlib=libc++ -isysroot /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX10.15.sdk -mmacosx-version-min=10.15 -std=c++11 

)

[kencu (Ken)]

although I do not as yet fully understand exactly what is going on, I am able to build qt5 on BigSur 11.6 if I set this:

use_xcode yes

near the top of the qt5 Portfile.

the lines that seem to start with "c" and generate errors then become something like this:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang++ -c -o qcore_mac ..etc

[davidpfriedlander]

Thank you, kencu. Yes, that worked for me, too (and for M1 Big Sur and M1 Monterey).

[jwhowarth]

I'm seeing a build failure later for qt5-base on Monterey with Xcode 13.1.

You only fixed the problem in the qt5 port. Other related ports are still affected, for example qt511:
