qt5 [email protected] issue building qt@5 from source about homebrew-core HOT 7 CLOSED

Did QtWebEngine fail to build (silently)? Do you have full logs (~/Library/Logs/Homebrew/qt@5 or brew gist-logs qt@5)?

from homebrew-core.

thanks for the reply, i have brew gist-logs qt@5 link here in a few.

and not sure about the qtwebengine failing silently.

from homebrew-core.

i set the below env var for my user on this system (the box where i can not install qt@5) using,

export HOMEBREW_GITHUB_API_TOKEN=ghp_XXXXXXXgeneratedgithubtoken

then ran the below cmd and got the below output,

brew gist-logs qt@5 -v -d

/Users/ipatch/homebrew/Library/Homebrew/brew.rb (Formulary::FormulaLoader): loading /Users/ipatch/homebrew/Library/Taps/homebrew/homebrew-core/Formula/q/[email protected]
/usr/bin/env /Users/ipatch/homebrew/Library/Homebrew/shims/shared/git --version
/usr/bin/env /Users/ipatch/homebrew/Library/Homebrew/shims/shared/curl --version

never saw link for a generate gist log? 🤷‍♂️

i'll see if can attach the logs to this issue or i'll just copy paste them directly as a reply.

from homebrew-core.

see attachments please.
qt5-config.log
qt5-01.configure.log

if you need the make log let me. i'll have to scp the file to my local machine as it's too large for my clipboard unfortunately.

is there a particular reason why qt@5 requires a full Xcode installation, and that having the CLT installed is not sufficient?

Closing issue as specifically outlined in brew doctor:

Do not create any issues about this on Homebrew's GitHub repositories.

Any opened issues will be immediately closed without response.

You may ask for help in Homebrew's discussions but are unlikely to receive a response.
Try to figure out the problem yourself and submit a fix as a pull request.
We will review it but may or may not accept it.

You've also modified the formula means you are not building the exact Homebrew/core formula, which is unsupported:

Uncommitted files:
  UU Formula/g/glib.rb
   M Formula/q/[email protected]

Based on your brew config and above comments,

Xcode: N/A

you've disabled Xcode requirement which means Qt WebEngine (built on top of Chromium) cannot compile.

If you want to discuss further, then please follow the output message and use Homebrew's discussions (https://github.com/orgs/Homebrew/discussions)

is there a particular reason why qt@5 requires a full Xcode installation, and that having the CLT installed is not sufficient?

Because, as seen in your logs:

WARNING: QtWebEngine requires at least version 10.0.0, but using Xcode version .

WARNING: QtPdf requires at least version 10.0.0, but using Xcode version .

WARNING: QtWebEngine will not be built.

WARNING: QtPdf will not be built.

The error you get is a direct consequence of you removing that requirement as the formula has code that expects QtWebEngine to be built.

If you don't need QtWebEngine, a custom modified Qt5 with a different name in your own tap could be an option.
