I have been setting up a new MacBook Pro 13-inch with High Sierra. Macports is building and running fine with qt4-mac, kdegames4 and kmymoney4 requested and a long list of dependencies installed.
Now I am trying to resurrect some of the KDE 4 source-code and applications I used to work on when I was a KDE developer. I brought across a bunch of source from my old MacBook Pro (2011 vintage and using Lion). But when I went to build it CMake failed during its checks of the software and hardware environment, which it does before starting to generate a makefile and build. Specifically, CMake could not find qmake, Qt’s utility for generating builds. Using “port contents” I found that qt4-mac @4.8.7_5 has qmake installed at /opt/local/bin on Lion, but on High Sierra it is at /opt/local/libexec/qt4/bin, which is not in my $PATH. So why has qmake moved? And what should I add to my $PATH, /opt/local/libexec/qt4/bin? Or would /opt/local/libexec be enough (and more general)? Or perhaps CMake needs some option? All the best, Ian W.
