devel/qt6-base error

Charlie Brown · Sunday at 11:39 PM

I get this error from pkg-static at the end of the building process :

Code:

===>   Registering installation for qt6-base-6.11.1

But the file exists?

That doesn't explain if anything exists or not. 2 different files btw, didn't notice. I would suspect the build options first. Does "make config" show anything related to javascript that can be disabled?

The files don't exist.

Maybe I should comment these line in pkg-plist?

Code:

# cat pkg-plist | grep cdx
%%QT_SBOMDIR%%/qtbase-%%FULLVER%%.cdx.json
# cat pkg-plist | grep spdx
%%QT_SBOMDIR%%/qtbase-%%FULLVER%%.spdx
%%QT_SBOMDIR%%/qtbase-%%FULLVER%%.spdx.json

I would try to fimd the part in the workdir that generates them. Maybe a Makefile says something. It finished succesfully anyway, apparently.
What does Qt with json files? That's only webcontent, right?

I'll try without cups

No, it's a convenient way of exchanging structured data, like XML. Often used for web development, yes, but not exclusively.

What solved this issue is deleting the lines with :
%%QT_SBOMDIR%%/qtbase-%%FULLVER%%
In pkg-plist file.
I think its a bug

[edit] doing it caused other dependencies to fail

It migth be it :

Code:

Looking for Python and dependencies for operation 'GENERATE_CYCLONE_DX_V1_6'. Searching default locations as per FindPython3 docs.
Result: Python dependency for running SBOM operation 'GENERATE_CYCLONE_DX_V1_6' NOT found.
Suggestion: Install it using pip install 'cyclonedx-python-lib[json-validation]'

This was the output at the beginning of the build, I just saw it. But it's weird because the two dependencies mentioned in freshports are met :

 

py311-cyclonedx-python-lib>0 : textproc/py-cyclonedx-python-lib@py311

py311-spdx-tools>=0.8.3 : misc/py-spdx-tools@py311

I was in similar trouble a week ago. It's a mess of build requirements. They should sandbox all pyrhon deps and refuse them as individual packages because it changes too much causing missing dependencies and version conflicts.
Rebuilt everything from nothing and separated other ports that use different versions of python additions. It worked (qemu 11) after manually tracing down 20 dependencies from compiler errors.
