Sorry for top posting, but I am using Outlook to reply.
You should really send this request to the maintainer, because he could have very easily overlooked this email. He is step...@freebsd.org. If you submit a PR with a patch, preferably one which uses options to let the user decide whether to use QT4 or QT5, I'm sure he attend to it quite quickly, although his life is currently a little full, so it probably won't be immediately. Or if you just send him a request without a patch, he may get around to it sometime. ________________________________ From: owner-freebsd-po...@freebsd.org <owner-freebsd-po...@freebsd.org> on behalf of Steve Kargl <s...@troutmask.apl.washington.edu> Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2018 3:19:27 PM To: freebsd-ports@freebsd.org Subject: Building math/octave with QT4? Is it possible to build math/octave with QT4? The recent switch to require QT5 in r469260 leads to an unusable octave (unless one's intention is to debug QT5). % gdb81 /usr/local/libexec/octave/4.4.0/exec/amd64-portbld-freebsd12.0/octave-gui octave-gui.core > bt #0 0x00000002056b244d in QVariant::QVariant(QVariant const&) () from /usr/local/lib/qt5/libQt5Core.so.5 [Current thread is 1 (LWP 101275)] (gdb) bt #0 0x00000002056b244d in QVariant::QVariant(QVariant const&) () from /usr/local/lib/qt5/libQt5Core.so.5 #1 0x0000000227c233c9 in ??
