This took quite a lot of time because Qt's own build system underwent
several changes in 5.8.0 that took a while to adapt to.
And, of course, qt5-webengine is a behemoth that we need to patch like crazy
due to its bundling of Chromium. In fact, most of the Chromium patches in
qt5-webengine have been imported with no changes from www/chromium@433510
("www/chromium: update to 56.0.2924.87").
New port: accessibility/qt5-speech
Bigger changes to Qt5 ports we had to make:
- Qt now allows using a configure.json file to define configuration options
and specify configuration checks that can be done when qmake is invoked.
However, configure.json checks done in a subdirectory only propagates to
subdirectories, and checks elsewhere will fail if all .pro files are being
parsed at once (i.e. qmake -recursive), so several ports had to switch to
USES=qmake:norecursive along with manual additional qmake invocations in
subdirectories in order to work. It's been mentioned in a few places such
as Qt's bug tracker that qmake's recursive mode is pretty much deprecated,
so we might switch to non-recursive mode by default in the future.
- Uses/qmake.mk: Introduce QMAKE_CONFIGURE_ARGS. qmake now accepts
arbitrary options such as '-foo' and '-no-bar' at the end of the
command-line. They can be specified in QMAKE_CONFIGURE_ARGS.
- graphics/qt5-wayland: The port can only be built if graphics/mesa-libs is
built with the WAYLAND option, so a corresponding option (off by default)
was added to the port.
- misc/qt5-doc: Switch to a pre-built documentation tarball. The existing
port was not working with Qt 5.9. Instead of trying to fix it, switch to
what Gentoo does and fetch a tarball that already contains all
documentation so that we do not have to build anything at all. The
tarball's name and location in download.qt.io look a bit weird, but it
seems to work fine.
- www/qt5-webengine: Use binutils from ports, Chromium's GN build system
generates a build.ninja that uses ar(1) with the @file syntax that is not
supported by BSD ar, so we need to use GNU ar from binutils.
- x11-toolkits/qt5-declarative-render2d: This port was merged into the main
Qt Declarative repository upstream, and into x11-toolkits/qt5-quick in the
ports tree.
Changes to other ports we had to make:
- biology/ugene: Drop a '#define point "."' that is not present in more
recent versions of the port. Defining a macro with such a common name
causes build issues with Qt 5.9, which uses |point| as an argument name in
methods.
- cad/qelectrotech: Fix plist with Qt 5.9. Directories are no longer
installed with `cp -f -R', but rather `qmake install qinstall', which does
not install
%%DATADIR%%/elements/10_electric/20_manufacturers_articles/bosch_rexroth/.directory
That's a local file that should not even have been part of the tarball
anyway.
- chinese/gcin-qt5: Add additional private Qt directories (which should not
be used in the first place) to get the port to build with Qt 5.9.
- devel/qtcreator: Fix plist with Qt 5.9. Something changed in qdoc and some
test classes no longer generate documentation files.
- security/keepassx-devel: Import a patch sent upstream almost a year ago to
fix the build with Qt 5.9.
Thanks to antoine for the exp-run, and tcberner and Laurent Cimon
<laurent@nuxi.ca> for landing changes in our qt-5.9 branch.

* Update Qt5 to 5.7.1
* Move Qt4 binaries to lib/qt4/bin
* Move Qt5 libraries to lib/qt5/lib
By moving the libraries we should finally be able to get rid of the inplace
upgrade bug (see ports bugs 194088, 195105 and 198720): when Qt5's libraries
were lying in /usr/local/lib, which would often get added by pkgconfig to the
linker paths via dependencies, the already installed libraries were linked
against, instead of the ones that were being built. This forced us to make
sure, that -L${WRKSRC}/lib was always coming before -L/usr/local/lib in the
linker flags. With this change this should no longer be the case.
* Rename some ports to match the rest (foo-qtX -> qtX-foo)
* Depend on new port misc/qtchooser [see UPDATING & CHANGES]
There are several new Qt5 ports which all have been created by Marie Loise Nolden
<nolden@kde.org>. Thanks again.

New features in Qt 5.5: https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.5
As usual, huge thanks to Tobias Berner (tcberner@gmail.com) for all his work
on these ports in kde@'s experimental area51 repository. He's the one who
started the update and did a lot of the initial work on Qt 5.5. Ralf Nolden
(nolden@kde.org) has contributed the initial version of most of our new Qt5
ports.
Also thanks to Yuri Victorovich (yuri@rawbw.com) for contributing PR 205805
with his own patch for the 5.5.1 update. Some of his changes there prompted
additional fixes and changes present in the final patch generated from our
experimental repository.
New ports:
- comms/qt5-connectivity, comms/qt5-sensors, devel/qt5-location,
graphics/qt5-3d, net/qt5-enginio, x11-toolkits/qt5-canvas3d,
x11-toolkits/qt5-uiplugin.
General changes in all Qt5 ports:
- All Qt5 ports are now built with -Wl,--as-needed to avoid overlinking,
which is a problem with qmake-based because the libraries passed to the
linker come from the modules .pri files and many are not necessary.
- With this change, several ports had their USE_QT5 lines adjusted to
explicitly include some libraries that were pulled in implicitly, and to
exclude libraries no longer required with -Wl,--as-needed.
Changes in specific ports:
- devel/qt5: Drop the SQL_PLUGINS and TOOLS options and depend on all Qt5
ports by default. It makes the Makefile much simpler, and those options
were already on by default.
- devel/qt5-core: The clang+base libstdc++ workaround has been expanded and
more C++11 features have been disabled when that combination is used by a
port (basically, FreeBSD 9 with USES=compiler:c++11-lang). The disabled
features have explanations for why they were disabled in the patched
header itself.
- devel/qt5-designer: uiplugins has been split out following a similar
change upstream. By depending on qt5-uiplugin, qt5-uitools avoids having
to depend on the big qt5-designer port.
- multimedia/qt5-multimedia: The port now uses GStreamer 1.0 instead of
0.10.
- net/qt5-network: The port now depends on libproxy for proxy settings.
Using libproxy allows proxy settings to be read from different sources,
and also allows .pac files to work with Qt.
- www/qt5-webkit: The port now uses GStreamer 1.0 instead of 0.10.
