`qmake` currently has multiple issues that ports have to work around (as brought up in tickets #38272 and #38250):

- `qmake` isn't [https://trac.macports.org/wiki/UsingTheRightCompiler UsingTheRightCompiler] (cf. comment:ticket:38250:1) - `qmake` doesn't handle `-arch` flags properly (cf. comment:ticket:38250:2) - `qmake` doesn't handle the `--disable-dependency-tracking` flag properly (cf. comment:ticket:38272:1)

And I'm sure there's other things that could be done with a `qmake` portgroup, too.

I think we'll also want to try to overwrite the options for +universal and +debug, as well as add flags for OBJC and OBJCXX. To test the file, make sure it is in "dports/_resources/port1.0/group/", then you'll need to modify some Portfile which requires QMake to make use of it, via adding "PortGroup qmake 1.0" somewhere before you need the settings / variables. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38280#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

#38280: RFE: add a qmake portgroup --------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: egall@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 2.1.3 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | --------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by michaelld@…): "overwrite" means in this case to set the QMake-specific variable on the ${configure.cmd} line, and hope that they overwrite those from the project's build script. When we set "QMAKE_CC=${configure.cc}", it generally works because projects are not supposed to play with it. But, setting for +debug and +universal is more generic, and hence takes a bit of work: (1) setting the ${configure.cmd} line correctly; and (2) making sure those variables are not set in the project's qmake build scripts. For example, +debug for MacPorts generally means to install but release and debug versions, and hence IIRC does something like: {{{ if +debug { CONFIG += debug_and_release build_all } else { CONFIG += release } }}} +universal I think can use: {{{ if +universal then { CONFIG += ${qt_arch_types} } }}} All of the above need to be on the configure.cmd arguments line, so in quotes appropriately. Then, inside the project we would need to remove references to these variables so that the overwrite is guaranteed to work. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38280#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

I made some tests with qmake, and it seems that adding {{{ variant debug description "Enable debug binaries" { configure.pre_args-append "CONFIG+=debug" } }}} does the trick to enable debug, as "debug" has precedence over "release" when both are invoked. Additionally, it seemed that "debug_and_release" can lead to some issues when building. Similarly, adding {{{ if {[variant_isset universal]} { pre-configure { configure.pre_args-append "CONFIG+=\"${qt_arch_types}\"" } } }}} seem to work for universal build. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38280#comment:11> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

OK; obviously I haven't had time for this, so I'd say for someone else to go ahead and check this in and start using it.

I would if I could... (my application for commit access is still pending review...) -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38280#comment:17> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

I should be able to finalize the tests and commmit it in the next days.

Unless there are objections, I will make final checks based on the last modifications I proposed, giving the attached file.

Looks good to me, feel free to go ahead and commit it. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38280#comment:19> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

@egall: Feel free to open up a single ticket with all such ports. It would be good to know.
