Comment:

 Replying to [comment:2 macports@…]:
 > Thanks, deactivating libevent did the trick.  Maybe qt4-mac should
 conflict with those packages -- or at least display a helpful message
 after a failed build?

 qt4-mac is already marked as conflicting with libevent. The problem is
 that the conflicts keyword was not designed to model build-time conflicts
 like this. (It was designed to model activation-time conflicts.) MacPorts
 base needs to be given a new keyword to model build-time conflicts.

 So this ticket is a duplicate of #20199.

 > Also, thanks for the tip about qt4-mac vs qt4-mac-devel.  I though I
 needed qt4-mac-devel to do QT development.

 MacPorts does not follow that naming convention. In other package
 managers, -dev or -devel packages contain the headers, while the regular
 port contains the libraries. In MacPorts, the -devel port (if any)
 contains the development version of the full software (headers and
 libraries), and the regular port contains the stable version of the full
 software (headers and libraries). See #14540.
