Would exactly were you hoping to get from qt_select, since apparently you're only interested in Qt5? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/47294#comment:4> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

I don't really understand all of the details of how the selection mechanism is supposed to work, but I don't think it is working correctly. Below is what I tried... (I'm also trying to find a ports centric way to make the Qt binaries available in /opt/local/bin, e.g.) {{{ bash$ port installed name:_select$ The following ports are currently installed: cython_select @0.1_0 (active) db_select @0.1_2 db_select @0.1_3 (active) gcc_select @0.1_8 (active) ipython_select @0.3_1 ipython_select @0.4_0 (active) llvm_select @1.0_0 (active) nosetests_select @0.1_0 (active) python2_select @0.0_1 (active) python_select @0.3_4 python_select @0.3_5 python_select @0.3_6 (active) qt4_select @0.3_3 (active) ruby_select @1.0_0 (active) scala_select @0.1_2 (active) sphinx_select @0.1_0 (active) bash$ ls /opt/local/etc/select cython ipython python ruby db llvm python2 scala gcc nosetests qt4 sphinx bash$ ls /opt/local/etc/select/qt4 base current none bash$ port select --list qt4 Available versions for qt4: none (active) bash$ port installed | grep qt4 qt4-mac @4.8.6_0 qt4-mac @4.8.7_0 qt4-mac @4.8.7_2 qt4-mac @4.8.7_3 (active) qt4-mac-sqlite3-plugin @4.8.7_1 (active) qt4_select @0.3_3 (active) qwt52 @5.2.3_0+qt4 qwt52 @5.2.3_1+qt4 (active) bash$ }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/47294#comment:6> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

This ticket is about a submitted port that to my knowledge isn't yet incorporated. It will thus not work, unless you install the port files yourself in a personal port repository.

There is an existing port qt4_select that seems to create the necessary pieces for "port select --list qt4" et al. to work: https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/sysutils/qt4_select/Portfile except it seems to be broken... -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/47294#comment:8> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

Still, for the sake of being exhaustive, here's port:qt_select which works with the latest versions of my qt4-mac and qt5-mac-devel submissions.

The names of my Qt ports have changed a bit, but this is still valid. The submitted qt_select only works when the mainstream Qt maintainers decide to support it by providing the required files. If you're just looking for a way to have qmake and family available through ${prefix}/bin, try my qtchooser port. It should detect any kind of Qt4 or Qt5 port. I have never checked that exhaustively (= with the mainstream Qt ports), so I'd be curious to know how well that works out. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/47294#comment:11> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
