#49838: qt5-qtwebengine build breaks if default python is python3 ------------------------------+------------------------ Reporter: mmoll@… | Owner: mcalhoun@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: qt5-qtwebengine | ------------------------------+------------------------ Changes (by mcalhoun@…): * status: new => assigned Comment: The offending code seems to come from tools/qmake/mkspecs/features/functions.prf {{{ defineTest(isPythonVersionSupported) { python_major_version = $$system('python -c "import sys; print sys.version_info.major"') python_minor_version = $$system('python -c "import sys; print sys.version_info.minor"') lessThan(python_major_version, 3): greaterThan(python_major_version, 1): greaterThan(python_minor_version, 6): return(true) skipBuild("Using Python version "$$python_major_version"."$$python_minor_version", but Python version 2 (2.7 or later) is required to build Qt WebEngine.") return(false) }}} Even if the print statement worked, it would still reject python_major_version>=3 by reporting that Python 2.7 or later is required. I do not see a way of specifying a particular PYTHON program (although I do see many instances of {{{#!/usr/bin/env python}}}. I committed a workaround in r142959.[[BR]] Although not ideal, does it fix the problem? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/49838#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
