Could be dropped for Qt 5.14+.
This tries to invoke xcrun, which is not available when cross-compiling.
Given we are in control of the SDK versions being used, removing this
check has minimal-no effect.
remove fix_configure_mac.patch
Fixed upstream: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-67286
remove fix_riscv64_arch.patch
Was fixed upstream in 6a39e49a6cdeb28a04a3657bb6a22f848d5dfa9d
remove fix_rcc_determinism.patch
Fixed upstream in https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-62511
remove freetype_back_compat.patch
By the time we ship a release with Qt 5.12, we'll certainly no-longer be
supporting Ubuntu 14.04 and Ubuntu 16.04 ships with FreeType 2.6.1,
which is new enough that using the symbol is no-longer an issue.
The renaming of FT_Get_X11_Font_Format() happened in FreeType 2.6
remove xkb-default.patch

Aplies a patch to Qt that fixes the non-determinism by modifying Qt. The
source of the non-determinism is how LLVM 8 optimizes qt_intersect_spans
when compiling. The particular optimization that seems to be causing the
problems is that a temp variable is being added for spans->y. For some
reason, when it does this, it chooses different instructions to use when
making that variable. We bypass this problem by patching
qt_intersect_spans to always make and use this local variable.
This has been around since the original import of Qt
(38be0d13830efd2d98281c645c3a60afe05ffece), however there
are now only two instatnces of it left in the qt codebase,
and from what I can gather, it's unused.
plugin_no_soname was removed from Qt some time ago, see upstream commit
1d034244c261520d5e739534dc264c2500e02b5f. It was replaced with
plugin_with_soname, however that is currently only used (as of 5.15.x)
in the Android Clang mkspec.
This should mostly be a no-op, however it would seem to make more sense
that we pass through the XCODE_VERSION we now have in depends, rather
than leaving the version set to 4.3.
This is an alternative to #19751 that fixes the build without requiring
splitting out libpng. This patch can be dropped once we are building qt
5.12.0 or later.
This change adds the correct suffix to debug mode .pc filenames for
MinGW and also to the Qt libraries listed in the `Requires` field.
The filename adjustment fixes the accidental overwriting of release
mode .pc files with the debug mode variant which required the wrong
variant of the libraries when `debug_and_release` is active.
Note that macOS also supports the `debug_and_release' configuration
but may use the regular library names together with DYLD_IMAGE_SUFFIX.
Creation of *_debug.pc files is turned off as they're identical to their
non-debug counterparts.

Qt's configure grabs the path to xkb's data root during configure, but the
build changes in 5.8 apparently broke the handling for cross builds. As a
result, the string embedded in the binary depends on whether or not some files
are present in the builder's filesystem.
The "-xkb-config-root" configure setting is intended to allow manual overriding
but it is also broken. See: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-60005
This has since been fixed upstream, so just hard-code the path for now. We can
drop this patch when we bump to a fixed Qt.
Also, fix the "-qt-xkbcommon-x11" config param which was renamed. This does not
appear to affect build results, presumably because auto-detection is working,
but it does not hurt to be explicit.
This contains a few hacks very specific to Qt's buildsystem. These can be
reverted once we split the build between native and target builds.
Qt's build contains a circular dependency when not using a system zlib.
By far the easiest fix is to switch to a system zlib, rather than Qt's own.
However, that confuses Qt's cross build which assumes that when using a system
zlib, it should also find a system (native) zlib for native tools. The build
breaks if that zlib is not present.
To solve this:
1. Always use a system zlib rather than the one provided by qt
2. Set force_bootstrap, which instructs the build tools to be built as though
we're cross-compiling (build != target)
3. For build tools, use qt's internal zlib so that a native zlib is not
required.
Step 3 means that if any zlib headers are found by the native build, it will
confuse Qt's internal zlib build. So we also need to make sure that the target
headers/libs aren't found. To do so, specify that our
cflags/cxxflags/cppflags/ldflags only apply for non-host builds.
Remove sed-based qt PIDLIST_ABSOLUTE workaround, replace by a patch that
works for both old (such as used by Travis and Ubuntu Precise) and new
mingw (Ubuntu Trusty).
See here for background: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-34748
libxcb temporarily had an abi breakage which caused crashes when qt was
compiled against a non-compatible version. Building qt with -qt-xcb should have
shielded us from this issue, except that incompatible headers were used when
building qt's wrapper.
Make sure those headers aren't picked up by qt's build.
Details:
qt's build adds a wrapper around the xcb libs when -qt-xcb is used. This is
done to avoid having to link to a handful of different libs, which may not be
api/abi stable. This build depends on include-order, so that its files are
found before the real libxcb headers.
Our build (for other reasons related to qt's complicated build-system) injects
our prefix into CXXFLAGS. Because libxcb is found in this path, that reverses
the include-order, negating the purpose of the wrapper.
To fix, libxcb's includes are simply moved to a subdir. pkg-config ensures that
they're still found properly when needed.
To make things even more interesting, this behavior in qt's .pro files is broken:
INCLUDEPATH += $$QMAKE_CFLAGS_XCB
The INCLUDEPATH variable is processed by qmake which automatically prefixes each
entry with "-I". The QMAKE_CFLAGS_XCB variable comes from pkg-config and
already contains -I, making the path look like "-I-I/path/to/xcb/headers".
To work around that, CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS are used here rather than INCLUDEPATH.
tl;dr: Update to the newer stable toolchain and SDK for OSX without giving up
any backwards compatibility. We can move to clang 3.5 as a next step which
allows use to use libc++ and the 10.10 sdk, but we'll need to find a build that
works in gitian/travis first.
Switch to a new, better maintained fork of cctools:
https://github.com/tpoechtrager/cctools-port
I've forked this and will be working on it some as well:
https://github.com/theuni/cctools-port
This brings in:
cctools v862
ld64: v241.9
It also fixes 64bit builds, so there's no longer any need to use a 32bit clang.
Since clang is no longer tied to an old/crusty 32bit build, clang has been
upgraded to 3.3. Unfortunately, there's a bug in 3.4 that breaks builds. 3.5
works fine, but there are no binary builds compatible with precise, which is
currently used for gitian and travis. We could always build our own if
necessary.
After updating to stable clang/linker/cctools, it's possible to use a more
recent SDK. The current SDK (10.7) through the most recent 10.10 have all been
built/tested successfully, both with and without 10.6 compatibility. However,
10.10 requires clang 3.5.
SDKs >= 10.9 use libc++ rather than libstdc++. This is verified working as well.
