QT-5.8 released, pondering it for Gentoo ~arch

Hm, quite odd then.

Looking at my logs, I had the same error back in December 2016, with 5.7.9999 and 5.8.9999, and looking at both the build and IRC logs, that seems like the only plausible solution I can think of right now...

But yeah, I completely understand staying with 5.7.1 currently. That's probably the more rational decision. :]

@Chiitoo, could you post a list of installed packages from qt-overlay ?

I sort of cleaned that installation up just some moments ago, as I'm now building 5.9.9999... but in general the list should be something QupZilla (or QtWebEngine) would pull in.

Looking at the 'emerge.log', something like this:

could you, please, post

Zarrro packages found.

That testing box mainly uses the console only, but it does have 'x11-wm/openbox' for the GUI tests currently (will likely be 'lxqt' when and if I get it to build with 5.8/5.9).

Yes, but like I mentioned previously, I removed 'dev-qt/*' because I wanted to give 5.9 a try, and having 5.8 installed while building them packages can, will, and did result into failures.

That said, the list would have been what I mentioned earlier, had I ran the command before I removed them.

Doing pretty good progress on 5.9.9999 by the by, even if I do say so myself. I've needed to make suspiciously little changes, so I'm almost sure I'm missing something. If all goes well, there will probably be a pull request regarding this sometimeprettysoon™. :]

(I'd almost bet I've now completely jinxed it.)

I've managed to build the dependencies for 'dev-qt/qtwebengine-5.9.9999', including QtWebEngine itself, but had some issues with QupZilla.

I also got 'dev-qt/qtgui[dbus]' to build, but the 'hack' we're using seems to be (possibly) causing issues with 'kde-plasma/libkscreen', as well as other packages.

So while the 5.9.0_beta and 5.9.9999 may appear in the overlay sooner rather than later, there is still at least one major puzzle to be solved before they're actually usable in most cases.

Thanks for doing the pioneering

Heh. I do wish I had more of the configure system figured out by now, after having so intently stared at it for quite a while.

I'm not even sure if their switch to “GN” internally for the QtWebEngine is throwing us off a bit as well. It does look like it's running at least some of the configure tests twice... but maybe that's to be expected.

Something I forgot to mention in my previous post, with regards to the

Another update: posting with 'Application version 2.1.99 (5e12180377) QtWebEngine version 5.9.0', heh!

So far more things than I expected seem to be working OK, though 'lxqt' seems to be a no go for now (or I need to rebuild some stuff).

The QtWebEngine configure needs some figuring out, but it somewhat works...

Edit:

Yeah, not sure what it was, but lxqt seems to work just fine so far.

finally, i've managed to migrate to qt-5.8.9999 and build qtwebengine-5.8.9999, then reinstalled kde-frameworks, kde-plasma, kde-apps, kde-misc. everything is okay so far.
