Description Klaus Ethgen 2024-09-28 13:51:05 UTC
I use sci-geosciences/gpsbabel-1.7.0-r1 without qt currently as I don't need any GUI and want to avoid the monster of qtwebengine. (Especially also as it depends on pulse and I have a pulse free system.)

Now, the new version 1.9.0 have changed the meaning in a subtle way. When I have use -qt6, it builds with qt5 and otherwise with qt6. There is no way to deselect qt completely.

Please make that package compile on a system without the qtwebengine monster.

This explains it:

    sci-geosciences/gpsbabel: drop use gui, add use qt6

    Though the build system provides separate targets for
    the gui and cli tools, the cmake configure files do not
    reflect this and they will search for qt unconditionally.
    Patching is non-trivial because the source files for the
    gui and for the cli are not completely separated.

    The package does support qt6 but the upstream cmake files
    do not provide a means of selecting which to use and will
    choose a version automagically. A simple patch is enough
    to fix this.

We might be able to make just qtwebengine optional, though: https://github.com/GPSBabel/gpsbabel/blob/master/gui/CMakeLists.txt#L33.
