Re: Building time for qt4-mac
Dear MacPorts and digiKam users, just a few minutes ago, and before reading this message thread, I posted a ticket about an issue I had when I tried to update digiKam: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/24090 Carsten, it was your post to the digiKam users list, that reminded me I still wanted publish that problem. About qt compile time: still using a 1 GHz G4 computer I'm much more affected. An option to use binaries instead would be great! As I wrote in the ticket, I'm curious to hear how others installed or updated digiKam. Carsten: if there are problems you can't solve, when trying to install digiKam via MacPorts, you might want to try fink instead: http://finkproject.org/ I installed digiKam via Fink before, which was slower than via MacPorts (because of more dependencies), but just worked. Generally Fink currently seems to often have more up-to-date packages, like kdeedu4 4.4.1, or pidgin 2.6.6 (where the Port is still at 2.6.3)... but on the other hand MacPorts includes claws-mail, which fink doesn't provide, and I only learned how to create and modify Portfiles, but I can't create my own packages for Fink.

Re: Building time for qt4-mac
I would also maybe try port -v install qt4-mac or whatever, then you can see the build process to see if it's really stalled. Ryan is right though, qt4-mac is a monster build, and takes forever. I think it took almost an hour on my 8 core mac pro.
