#48206: qt4-mac, qt5-mac: ports no longer conflict ------------------------------+------------------------- Reporter: devans@… | Owner: michaelld@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: qt4-mac qt5-mac | ------------------------------+------------------------- Comment (by michaelld@…): This is true from a certain perspective: qt4 installs into ${prefix} and qt5 into ${prefix}/libexec/qt5-mac. That said, there will be projects which try to auto-detect the Qt install, looking for ${prefix}/bin/qmake and using it if found -- no matter the user's settings otherwise (e.g., QMAKE=${prefix}/libexec/qt5-mac/bin/qmake). So, we're better off just moving Qt4 to be in ${prefix}/libexec/qt4-mac (or something like it). I'm well on my way down that path, and expect to have it done sometime next week. Thus, while we -could- change both ports so that they don't conflict -right now-, I'd be just as happy to wait until my "big commit" is in place & qt4 is moved to its own space. I expect there will be plenty of issues with the "big commit", no matter how hard I try to make it otherwise. I also expect we'll have issues with removing the conflict ... so, why not just wait until there really is no conflict? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48206#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
