Created attachment 194782 [details] output of 'make' in /usr/ports/graphics/qt5-wayland Hi, I am trying to build qt5-wayland from ports on 11.2-RELEASE amd64 machine. I have mesa-libs compiled with wayland support and wayland and qt5 installed from packages. The Qt version is 5.9.4 The build failed I guess due to API mismatch between Qt 5.9.4 and qt5-wayland. See log attached. It seems like the port's Makefile does not check out correct version of the qtwayland. Instead newer version is used. By 'correct' I mean - compartible with the Qt version installed by pkg install ... Regards, Denis.
Hi there I assume you are using the packages from the quarterly branch, as you are still having 5.9.4 and not 5.10.1 of qt5-gui. You need to checkout the quarterly ports tree too. mfg Tobias
You should upgrade qt5 ports all to the same version at once. Or keep your ports tree at the same revision as your packages. There is no support for mix-and-matching Qt versions (except for QtWebEngine, which is special).
Thanks for the comments. Yes, I am using packages from the quarterly branch. My /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf point to: url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly", which is default. I understand the situation, but I'd like to provide different point of view regarding this issue. I have the most recent RELEASE OS version and the most recent packages version. I addition I also have the most recent port tree version (i.e. I did 'portsnap fetch update'). Now I want to use /usr/ports/graphics/qt5-wayland and realize that it is 'far in the future' and only useful for bleeding edge Qt developers who willing to re-compile the whole Qt. Another option offered to me is to downgrade the _whole_ port tree to the quarterly version and moreover - freeze it. At the same time Qt Wiki: https://wiki.qt.io/QtWayland stating that developers advised to select QtWayland version which is matched with their installed Qt version by doing: $ git checkout v5.10.0 # replace with your qt version i.e. QtWayland is obeying to the Qt version already installed to the developer's machine. FreeBSD qtwayland port is missing this functionality. So how about to change the /usr/ports/graphics/qt5-wayland/Makefile in a way that FreeBSD ports machinery download qtwayland source code version which is compatible with the Qt version installed on the developer's machine? Regards, Denis
Hi there The section of the Qt Documentaton tells you exactly what Adriaan and I were telling you too: "use the version of qt-wayland that matches your installed Qt." Now, you are using Quarterly Packages which are 5.9.4 -- so you need to get qt5-wayland which is 5.9.4 -- you'll find the ports for that in the quarterly ports branch. That is you need to checkout the quarterly ports tree. (you don't need to replace the main ports tree with the quarterly, just check it out somewhere, and built qt5-wayland in there). -- though if you ask me, your current set-up does not make much sense :) If you want to use qt5-wayland 5.10.1 (as is in the head ports tree), then just rebuild Qt5 to be 5.10.1 :) Qt5, and thereby the ports tree do not let you mix versions. mfg Tobias
Hi Tobias, I see. You right, seems like using quarterly port tree with quarterly packages is the Right Way to go. I tried that and got qt5-wayland port installed without any problems. For those who meet similar problem here is explanation and link to very useful 'portfetch' script: https://chriswells.io/blog/using-quarterly-ports-on-freebsd Regards, Denis.
