Description John Hein 2018-06-23 21:31:27 UTC

If you build with LOCALBASE != /usr/local, devel/qt5-core (and probably other qt ports) fails to configure:

 .
 .
  Using system PCRE2 ..................... no
 .
 .
Project ERROR: Library 'pcre2' is not defined.
*** Error code 3

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/ports/devel/qt5-core


If you change the references in <LOCALBASE>/lib/qt5/mkspecs/freebsd-clang/qmake.conf that contain the hard-coded /usr/local to the value of the non-default LOCALBASE, then the configure is able to find pcre2.  For example:

-QMAKE_INCDIR_POST       = /usr/local/include
-QMAKE_LIBDIR_POST       = /usr/local/lib
+QMAKE_INCDIR_POST       = /opt/pcre2/include
+QMAKE_LIBDIR_POST       = /opt/pcre2/lib

 QMAKE_LFLAGS_NOUNDEF    = -Wl,--no-undefined


I'm sure that's not the only way to address the problem.  Note that that qmake.conf file is owned by the devel/qt5-qmake port, of course, not devel/qt5-core.

I didn't mean to include 'pcre2' in the path in the patch in the previous comment.

Hi John

What's the status of this now, is it still failing?

Yes, it still fails the same way.

  devel/qt5-qmake: override hardocded value of localbase with ${LOCALBASE}

  - The qmake.conf shipped with Qt5 sets /usr/local by default. This patch
    replaces that string with the value of ${LOCALBASE} to ease use with
    different prefixes.

I don't quite get how you even get to try building Qt5 with non standard prefix as quite a few of the dependencies already do not support it. 

However, Qt5 is now patched to sed in the value of ${LOCALBASE} when building qt-base. This hopefully should get you further.
