qt5-qtwebkit @5.9.2_4 fails to build

[dershow]

I'm attempting to upgrade qt5-qtwebkit from 5.9.2_3 to 5.9.2_4 and I'm receiving an error:

Is there any workaround for this?

Unfortunately qt5-qtwebkit is a dependency for wkhtmltopdf :/

[dershow]

Yes, but I'm not sure what. It did ultimately build for me more recently. But, I'm not sure what changed and fixed it. So, I don't think that the ticket should be closed unless there was a fix introduced.

[kencu (Ken)]

there is a thought that certain headers, which ones not yet sorted out, in the macports prefix might cause the failure.

an arm-only fix is pr’d here ​https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/16890 but that might need to be used on all systems?

It hasn’t been commited yet as it’s still not fully sorted out.

In 8b528349a8adb591352e8a81ec884764c7bb8e65/macports-ports (master):

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.

Closes: #63877

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.
