qt5-qtwebkit fails to build with Xcode 13.1 Big Sur and Monterey 12.0.1

I'm seeing the same problem. From looking into the compile error, it looks like qt5-qtwebkit needs to be build with a non-c++11 compiler.

Alternatively, someone could patch all of the virtual function casts adding in an explicit override.

Similar too: ​https://github.com/lxqt/qterminal/issues/564

[jhoyt4]

those warning were just a red herring.

I see that webkit is now up to 5.212 - it may be worth updating the portfile to build the more recent version. I imagine getting that working may take some time.

[edit] - webkit 5.212 changed a ton of things and switch to cmake - I decided to get 5.9.2 working instead.

[jhoyt4]

I believe the real culprit for qtwebkit 5.9.2 is (at least when trying with macports-clang-11 and Monterey's default clang...):

In file included from ../WTF/wtf/HashFunctions.h:24:

                                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[jhoyt4]

or possibly this:

loader/FrameLoader.cpp:130:10: warning: non-portable path to file '"archive.h"'; specified path differs in case from file name on disk [-Wnonportable-include-path]
#include "Archive.h"
         ^~~~~~~~~~~
         "archive.h"

[jhoyt4]

I got further by patching Archive.h to archive/Archive.h. Then I ran into this nasty bit:

Other sites suggest adding "-DNS_FORMAT_ARGUMENT(A)" to the build, but I haven't figure out how to do that as yes (happy to get a pointer to the solution :) )

[jhoyt4]

This seems to have gotten me past the NSString issue

configure.cppflags-append \
                    '-DNS_FORMAT_ARGUMENT\(A\)=' \
                    -D_Nullable_result=_Nullable

I'll be cleaning up my work and issuing a Pull Request shortly.

[jhoyt4]

@6aKa - its been noted on my pull request that this bug is also resident on Big Sur when running Xcode 13.1. Can you modify the summary line (I don't have the right permissions) to "qt5-qtwebkit fails to build with Xcode 13.1 Big Sur and Monterey 12.0.1"

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

I have a similar failure when I try to build NS variant of GNU Emacs 28.0.90 outside of MacPorts. I configure with LDFLAGS=-v -arch x86_64 -Wl,-bind_at_load -Wl,-t and can see which C header files are used. With Xcode 13 installed I can clearly see that configuration stops when usability of AppKit/AppKit.h is checked. When I tell configure to first search /usr/bin and some time later /opt/local/bin (by using env PATH=…) configuration succeeds because macOS' Clang 13 is used. The cause of at least my failure is that MacPorts' Clang 11 uses C header files from Xcode 13. This certainly cannot work.

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

Sorry, I made a mistake and copied the wrong text: It is CFLAGS=-H that makes the compilers list which C header files they are including.

[jhoyt4]

I've noticed that a prebuilt qt5-qtwebkit is now available so I've closed my long open PR to resolve this issue.

[i0ntempest]

This is still a problem. From my testing looks like these are enough to make it build successfully:

configure.cppflags-delete "-I${prefix}/include"
configure.cxxflags-delete "-I${prefix}/include"
configure.cflags-delete "-I${prefix}/include"

[jhoyt4]

For those trying to get this building on ARM64 / Ventura, i0ntempest's solution seems to work there as well

[ostefano (Stefano Ortolani)]

Confirming that is still an issue since qt5-qtwebkit is not prebuilt on Ventura.

[jhoyt4]

@ostefano - I've issued a new PR that applies @i0ntempest's suggested fix ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/16890.

I've tested it on both intel and arm without issues and am able to use webkit.

I'd suggest giving that PR a try and let me know if it doesn't work for you as it can be updated.

qt5-qtwebkit: Fix build for Big Sur, Monterey, and Ventura with header conflicts

On case insensitive file systems, the include search path picks up header files from
macports before the local header files causing an error while compiling. This
modification places flags the known conflicting ports with conflicts_build.

fun

[jhoyt4]

to get this installed while a more permanent fix is identified do the following:

sudo port -f deactivate libarchive ruby31 ruby30 libevent
sudo port install qt5-qtwebkit
sudo port -f activate libarchive ruby31 ruby30 libevent

Depending on what is installed on your system, you may need to adjust the deactivate/reactivate commands.
