<pre wrap="">I'm attempting to install py34-pyqt5 on OS X 10.8.5. All seems to be going well until it fails on installing qtwebengine. Trying to install just this package on its own with the -v flag gives me the following output. Can anyone suggest what this is telling me or how to fix it? Thanks. (Xcode 5.5.1)
Best regards,
Tim

That message is intended for the developer of the port, and is something that would certainly have been resolved before the port was committed. The fact that this happened to you suggests something unusual is happening in your case. It's hard to know what, because you tried again without cleaning first; that might even be the cause of this error (and the real original error was lost by trying again without cleaning). So please "sudo port clean qt5-qtwebengine", then try again, then file a ticket in the issue tracker and attach the new main.log there, possibly compressing it first if it is large.

Strangely, "sudo port clean qt5-webengine" tells me "Port
qt5-webengine not found". And I get exactly the same results as
before. No log files to look at in '/opt/local/var/macports/logs';
actually there is not even a macports subdirectory in
'opt/local/var/' !!!<br>
<br>
You quoted a couple of error lines above, but I would be interested
in knowing what the ones which follow mean:<br>
<pre wrap="">Error: No files have been installed in the destroot directory!
Error: Please make sure that this software supports 'make install DESTDIR=${destroot}' or implement an alternative destroot mechanism in the Portfile.
<b>Error: Files might have been installed directly into your system, check before proceeding.
</b>Installing worked fine with macports in OS X 10.9 but not in OS X 10.8, so I'm wondering what changed? Anyway, thanks for your help.
Best regards,
Tim
