Hello,
I recently updated my meta-qt5 layer to the current head version
(https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5/commit/9927aacfc3b341eb36764fbe7d5a929d4f05f327)
resulting in an upgrade to Qt 5.8. Since this upgrade, the Qt examples are not
built anymore, even though I added them to PACKAGECONFIG of qtbase. Is this a
known issue?
In Qt 5.7 the examples were built correctly. As far as I understand, the line
that used to make this work in versions before Qt 5.8 is in
meta-qt5/recipes-qt/qt5/qt5.inc:
| EXTRA_QMAKEVARS_PRE += "${@bb.utils.contains('PACKAGECONFIG', 'examples',
'QT_BUILD_PARTS+=examples', '', d)}"
The qmake5_base_do_configure function in meta-qt5/classes/qmake5_base.bbclass
evaluates this variable:
| if [ ! -z "${EXTRA_QMAKEVARS_PRE}" ]; then
| QMAKE_VARSUBST_PRE="${EXTRA_QMAKEVARS_PRE}"
| bbnote "qmake prevar substitution: '${EXTRA_QMAKEVARS_PRE}'"
| fi
This leads to the following note in log.do_configure of qtbase:
| NOTE: qmake prevar substitution: ' QT_BUILD_PARTS+=examples'
However, this note is missing in Qt 5.8 because the call to
qmake5_base_do_configure has been removed from the do_configure task of qtbase
here:
https://github.com/meta-qt5/meta-qt5/commit/333949a8239dfa7788b35f1059614733e11a6a25#diff-1120c73503f9288cc8a8c2b984fe4038L202
There is no comment on why this has been removed. I tried re-adding it, which
resulted in a duplicate configure run. Obviously this is caused by this change
in qtbase:
https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtbase.git/commit/mkspecs/features/qt_parts.prf?id=60e5a1c8effd4099f7b1414107b5cbb67c266210
Does anybody know whether this change was the reason for removing the
qmake5_base_do_configure call?
However, the removal breaks the mechanism via EXTRA_QMAKEVARS_PRE, because this
variable is no longer evaluated. As far as I can see, there is no option of
building the Qt examples at the moment. Or am I missing anything? Any clue
would be helpful.
