Ian, actually meinproc4 still *IS* a problem. The buildbots run into it some times, users do too as e.g. issue https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37620 shows.

I wished I knew how to avoid any calls to meinproc4 during the build procedure. I think I did everything possible in kmymoney4(-devel)'s ports to avoid building any bit of documentation, but for some reason meinproc4 gets still called. There was no response concerning this on KDE-DEVEL mailing list, unfortunately.
So, I am clueless as to what else I might try to avoid this endless problem. Debugging is also not really possible, since the crash occurs only spuriously!!! :-(

Greets,
